Senior Cloud Engineer - AI-ML Platform

Senior Cloud Engineer - AI/ML Platform (f/m/d)

Your Role

As a Senior Cloud Engineer specialising in AI/ML Platform infrastructure, you will be at the heart of building and operating the cloud-native foundation that powers data, analytics, and artificial intelligence workloads across the organisation. In this pivotal role, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve scalable, resilient infrastructure on AWS - enabling AI/ML engineers and data scientists to develop, deploy, and monitor machine-learning models and AI services at production scale. You will own critical platform components end-to-end: from containerised workloads and streaming pipelines to networking, security, and CI/CD automation. Working at the intersection of cloud engineering, data platforms, and AI/ML operations, you will solve complex infrastructure challenges with a pragmatic, reliability-first mindset and directly shape the technical direction of a platform that drives meaningful business outcomes.

Who You Are

• You bring 5 or more years of hands-on cloud engineering experience, with strong expertise in AWS services including Elastic Container Service, Elastic Kubernetes Service, Virtual Private Cloud networking, and managed streaming solutions.
• You have proven experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure as code using Terraform and/or CloudFormation, and you are comfortable owning production environments end-to-end.
• You are skilled in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (for example using Azure DevOps) and apply disciplined version-control practices in collaborative engineering environments.
• You have hands-on experience designing and operating streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka or equivalent cloud-managed alternatives, with a focus on scalability and resilience.
• You implement platform security with confidence - including Transport Layer Security, secrets management, access controls, and authentication mechanisms such as JSON Web Tokens, OAuth, and LDAP.
• You have experience deploying, scaling, and monitoring AI/ML workloads and model-serving APIs, and you collaborate effectively with AI/ML engineers and data scientists to bring models into production.
• You hold a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or bring equivalent professional experience; familiarity with multi-cloud environments or Azure AI/ML services is a plus.
