Lead DevOps Engineer (mfd) | Legal AI Tech Scale-Up | Full Remote

At Noxtua were building Europes sovereign Legal AI and that runs on infrastructure we own and operate ourselves including our own GPU servers. Were looking for a Staff/Lead DevOps Engineer to take ownership of that infrastructure lead a small team and keep our platform stable secure and cost-efficient as we scale.

This is a hands-on leadership role: youll set technical direction and grow the team while staying close enough to the systems to dig into a server a Kubernetes config or an Ansible playbook yourself. Unlike most setups that run entirely on public cloud a core part of this role is operating our own GPU hardware alongside our cloud environment.

Youll join Noxtuas Engineering organisation as part of a small DevOps team of around 45 engineers reporting to Simon our CTO. The team owns the platform our Legal AI runs on a managed Kubernetes environment across multiple stages (dev test prod) on sovereign EU cloud infrastructure (OTC) alongside our own GPU servers. Day to day youll work closely with the backend frontend and AI teams whose services you deploy and operate as well as with our cloud and hardware providers. As Lead youll set the teams technical direction while staying hands-on with the systems themselves.
