Senior AI-Enabled DevOps Engineer / DV Clearable / 5 days a week on-site
Build and operate modern software systems where AI meets production reality
We're looking for a Senior AI-Enabled DevOps Engineer to join a growing engineering capability working on complex, important software systems that increasingly embed AI to improve delivery, decision-making, and operational effectiveness .
This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who enjoys operating across software development, DevOps, and modern cloud platforms . You won't be a people manager, but you will be a trusted senior engineer, shaping technical approaches, raising engineering standards, and helping teams deliver reliable systems in production.
At the core of this role is building well-engineered, production-grade systems that integrate cleanly with AI platforms and services.
You will:
- Design, build, deploy, and operate AI-enabled software and platform solutions
- Develop API-driven services and integrations that allow systems to interact effectively with AI capabilities
- Modernise existing applications towards service-based, cloud-native architectures
- Implement and operate integration mechanisms between software systems and AI platforms , including emerging patterns and protocols where appropriate
- Use AI tools to improve engineering productivity - while maintaining full accountability for quality, safety, and correctness
- Review, validate, and guide AI-generated code and outputs , ensuring they meet real engineering and operational standards
- Build services in TypeScript and Python , supported by strong testing and clean code practices
- Package, deploy, and operate workloads using Kubernetes (e.g. Helm) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)
- Work closely with other engineers, platform teams, and AI specialists to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions
- Take responsibility for systems running in production , not just code that passes a build
What we're looking for
This role suits an experienced senior engineer who brings breadth, pragmatism, and strong engineering judgement .
Essential experience:
- Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer, Senior DevOps Engineer , or similar hands-on role
- Excellent software engineering fundamentals: system design, maintainable code, testing, and operability
- Strong experience building API-first or service-based systems
- Proficiency in TypeScript and Python
- Hands-on experience deploying and operating production systems using containers and automation
- Confidence working across development, deployment, and operational concerns
- A track record of owning technical outcomes in complex environments
Desirable experience:
- Integrating software systems with AI platforms or AI-assisted workflows
- Exposure to emerging AI integration approaches or protocols (e.g. MCP)
- Platform engineering or DevOps at scale
This is an opportunity to sit at the intersection of modern software engineering, DevOps, and applied AI , working on real production systems rather than experiments or demos.
