Storage Platform Engineers | Up to £600/day | 12 Month Contract | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote
I'm partnering with a fast-growing AI infrastructure business on an opportunity for experienced Storage Platform Engineers at multiple levels (Senior-Staff).
This is the first dedicated storage hire in the business, owning the storage layer behind a large-scale GPU platform across edge and core data centres.
You'll set the technical direction for storage while staying hands‑on, designing how datasets, model artefacts, checkpoints and KV-cache are delivered to GPU clusters for training, fine‑tuning and distributed inference.
What we're looking for:
- Strong background designing and operating distributed storage for HPC or large-scale GPU environments.
- Proven experience building storage for AI training or inference platforms, including checkpointing, dataset distribution and KV-cache patterns.
- Hands‑on experience with high-performance storage such as VAST, WEKA, Ceph or MinIO.
- Deep knowledge of the Linux storage and I/O stack, NVMe, RDMA/RoCE, NVMe-oF and GPUDirect Storage.
- Experience integrating storage with Kubernetes (CSI) and automating with Python and/or Bash.
- Staff‑level experience setting architecture and standards across teams, while still enjoying the hands‑on work.
Fully remote, open to candidates across UK & EU
If you're a senior storage engineer interested in building out a storage function from scratch for a growing AI infrastructure platform, I'd be keen to have a conversation.
