Forward Deployed Engineer

Infrastructure / Forward Deployed Engineer — UK Remote

£50k–£75k + Meaningful Equity

I’m working with a well-funded AI startup looking for a strong Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of deploying and running its platform across complex production environments.

This is a broad, hands-on role sitting across Infrastructure, Platform and Production Engineering — ideal for someone who wants ownership beyond simply writing software.

You’ll work across:

• Kubernetes and containerised infrastructure
• AWS / GCP and private cloud environments
• Networking, ingress, certificates, secrets and SSO/SAML
• Observability, alerting, incident response and production reliability
• CI/CD and infrastructure automation
• Capacity planning and performance
• VPC, data centre and air-gapped deployments
• Debugging complex production issues across software and infrastructure

We’re looking for engineers who have genuinely run production systems , responded to incidents and are comfortable getting deep into infrastructure when something breaks. The underlying role also covers deployment into customer infrastructure and ownership of reliability and capacity.

Backgrounds in Infrastructure Engineering, SRE, Platform Engineering, Production Engineering or Forward Deployed Engineering could all translate really well.

Stack: Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, AWS, GCP
