  • Experience with DevOps tools such as Helm, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
  • Knowledge of MLOps, particularly on cloud environments like Vertex, Sagemaker, or Synapse, is a plus.
  • Familiarity with full-stack development is ideal (REST backends and SPA frontends).


Why Join?

The company offers a hybrid working setup and is dedicated to building an inclusive culture where diverse ideas and perspectives are valued. They prioritize work-life balance and offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Competitive salary
  • 25 days of paid holiday plus bank holidays
