DevOps Engineer

ppAt AlpineAI, we harness the extraordinary capabilities of Large Language Models through our offering. The platform integrates with enterprise data and runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves in Switzerland, including hardware we own and run. That combination is what makes it usable for organizations that cannot send their data anywhere else. /p h3THE ROLE /h3 pWe're seeking a passionate bSenior DevOps / Platform Engineer /b to join our team. If you are deeply immersed in CI/CD, excel in automation scripting, and have an innate understanding of infrastructure-as-code, then you might be the one we're looking for. /p pYou report directly to the CTO.
