Platform Engineer

My client is a pre‑seed AI security company looking to govern what authenticated identities are doing and how they are behaving in production. Whilst many businesses in this space have traditionally focused on authentication (who gets access to the system and when) my client looks at what is happening once access has been granted and the keys handed over.

• Are systems acting reliably and as expected?
• Are agents acting within their intended boundaries?
• Are non‑human identities, automated pipelines, and AI‑driven workflows doing what they're supposed to — or has something silently gone wrong?

Having seen a real niche for this, the two business founders, both big names within the Cloud and Securities industries have secured some strong early funding and are now building out a founding engineering team.

This is a backend‑heavy and greenfield position, where you'd have a real opportunity to own the core infrastructure area of the platform.

Within the role, you can expect to:

• Design and maintain event ingestion pipelines across cloud, CI/CD, and agent environments
• Own production deployment, IaC, and observability instrumentation
• Integrate with external platforms — cloud providers, CI/CD tooling, AI‑agent runtimes
• Build and own the backend services and APIs

They'd need you to come with 4+ years of experience within the following areas:

• Infrastructure - Terraform/Cloud Formation
• Engineering experience - Python / Go
• Experience with debugging / reliability - Open Telemetry etc

Benefits - the company have a strong benefits package -

• Equity options
• Monthly Health/Wellness budgets
• Travel Budgets
