AI Platform Engineer

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking. Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.

The AI Platform Engineer helps design, build and maintain the on-premises AI Infrastructure for our client, a market leader in the environment sector. The engineer plays a key role in enabling large-scale machine learning and generative AI workloads by developing robust, scalable, and secure platform solutions that support data scientists and ML engineers across the organisation.

The role requires deep Kubernetes and infrastructure automation experience to optimise performance, streamline deployments, and ensure reliability in an on-prem environment.

Requirements

• Design, deploy, and manage on-premises Kubernetes clusters for AI and ML workloads.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform, Helm, or Ansible
• Build and optimise AI/ML pipelines and MLOps workflows for model training, deployment, and monitoring.
• Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to deliver high-performance computing environments for large model training and inference.
• Implement resource management, observability, and scaling strategies for GPU-based workloads.
• Manage containerisation, networking, and storage solutions for AI workloads.
• Ensure security, compliance, and reliability of the AI platform.
• Automate operational processes and continuously improve platform efficiency.

What we need from you:

• Proven experience managing Kubernetes clusters on-premises (not just cloud-managed solutions).
• Experience working in a Consultancy capacity.
• Strong background in container orchestration, CI/CD, and automation.
• Proficiency in Linux administration, Docker, and networking fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, Ansible, etc.).

• Familiarity with GPU scheduling and resource management on Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or Go).
• Understanding of DevOps and MLOps best practices.
