About this role

Job Role As a DevOps Engineer at Radiant, you'll be a hands-on technical leader at the heart of our engineering organisation, owning the design, delivery, and reliability of our most critical infrastructure. You'll drive the automation and continuous improvement of our deployment pipelines, cloud and bare metal environments, and Kubernetes-based orchestration layer — ensuring our platform scales reliably to support high-performance AI and GPU workloads. You'll set the standard for engineering excellence, partnering with Platform, SRE and Product Engineering teams to align on strategy, shape technical direction, and embed a true DevOps culture across the organisation. Championing infrastructure as code, observability, and a bias toward automation at every layer of the stack, you'll influence design decisions and cross-team ways of working that raise the bar for how we build and operate systems at scale.
