Location and Legalities

This full-time Cloud Infrastructure Engineer position is based onsite in our brand-new Ultralytics office in London, UK. Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the UK, as Ultralytics does not provide visa sponsorship.

What You'll Do

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Ultralytics, you will design, build, and maintain the scalable and robust cloud infrastructure that powers our entire suite of AI services, including the Ultralytics HUB. You'll be at the core of our operations, ensuring our systems can handle the demands of training cutting-edge AI models and serving millions of inference requests globally. Key responsibilities include:

• Architecting and managing our cloud environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform.
• Designing, building, and maintaining our CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to ensure smooth and reliable software delivery.

• Writing automation scripts and infrastructure-related code, primarily in Python.
• Ensuring the high availability, performance, and security of our production systems that support everything from data processing to model deployment.
• Collaborating closely with AI and backend engineers to streamline the MLOps lifecycle and build a world-class platform for computer vision.
• Monitoring system health and costs, proactively identifying bottlenecks and implementing optimizations.
