Job description

We are building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. We go beyond state-of-the-art LLMs by combining algorithms symbolically, to provide novel capabilities like performing multi-step analysis, displaying a verifiable reasoning path, and assessing uncertainty. We envision applications supporting and automating analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, Material Sciences, and more.

We are looking for senior DevOps engineers to build reliable software infrastructure for our system. You will work on all areas of infrastructure within the company, automating end-to-end workflows from testing to model training and beyond to web deployment scaling - all to ensure a robust base to grow our pre-release system into a stable production-grade environment to serve users.

Required mindset

We've found that our successful team members share some key characteristics, and as we've grown our team, these are the qualities we've learned to seek out. We take pride in our strong, collaborative culture, and these core attributes not only reflect our shared values, but can help you evaluate how well you might fit into our team:

• A builder at heart: You’re passionate about building things, solving complex problems, and approaching challenges with an entrepreneurial spirit and humility. Your sharp sense of prioritisation gives you a laser focus on delivering results that uplift the entire team, moving us closer to our goal.

• Results-driven: You thrive when taking full ownership of tasks, seeing them through from start to finish, and taking accountability for the results. You’re proactive, resourceful, and avoid over-complication - anticipating problems, even in complex, uncertain environments.

• Growth mindset: You are intellectually curious, have a critical mind, and seek opportunities to stretch your abilities. You explore the state-of-the-art, you dig deep to truly understand a problem, and question assumptions.

• A strong collaborator: You naturally communicate with clarity and purpose, ensuring your ideas and updates are easily understood. You work efficiently, embracing an iterative approach that allows for frequent progress and course correction. You’re open to direct feedback, adapting quickly and using it to improve both your work, and the performance of those around you.

• Approaching problems and tasks like a project manager:

◦ You can take a given goal and break it down into smaller parts.

◦ You can solve problems systematically, by yourself as well as collaboratively with others.

◦ You involve others in effective problem-solving sessions because you are eager to get input that improves your solution and not lose time due to lack of alignment.

◦ You document processes well because you understand that doing so enables others to take over and allow you to move on to other things.
