About You As a Software Engineer (Infra Focus), you will own the infrastructure backbone that keeps Optiml's platform fast, reliable, and ready to scale—operating at the intersection of backend engineering and cloud infrastructure, where your decisions directly shape how the product is built and shipped. This is a hands‑on engineering role: you will manage and evolve Optiml's GCP infrastructure, drive CI/CD and release processes end‑to‑end, and contribute directly to the codebase on core systems like RBAC and job queues. You are as comfortable in a Python codebase as you are configuring IAM policies or leading an incident response. You are expected to be proactive and opinionated—identifying infrastructure debt before it becomes a problem, setting a pragmatic direction for the platform, and executing without waiting to be asked. You bring reliability and composure to production systems, and the clarity and communication skills to bring the rest of the team with you. Tasks Responsibilities Set infrastructure direction: identify the highest-leverage problems, scope projects, and drive the team to solve them. Collaborate and implement new features in the codebase (Python + Typescript) that touch the core infrastructure (e.g. RBAC, Job Queues) Own and operate Optiml's GCP infrastructure (Cloud Run, networking, IAM, TLS, and firewall rules) Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and developer experience. Own and push to simplify the release process end‑to‑end: staging, E2E tests, QA, production deployment, rollbacks, and communication. Run on-call and incident response: manage rotations, enforce severity processes, and ensure uptime. Partner with IT/Security on vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and infrastructure hardening. Close documentation gaps and improve observability collaborate cross‑functionally with Product/Tech, Delivery/CS, and Marketing/Comms to influence roadmap, narrative, and enterprise rollouts. Culture : Join a collaborative, high‑performance team that values ownership over hierarchy—clear accountability, direct feedback, and high trust.Benefits (London): Competitive base salary with meaningful variable and (tbd) VSOP participation; hybrid setup in London; learning and travel as needed for clients and events. #J-18808-Ljbffr
