About the Role

As DevOps Engineer you build and run the delivery pipeline and runtime for our AI platform, so the AI Development pods can build, test and release AI applications, models and agents quickly and safely.

• Create CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps for AI applications, agents, models and prompts, including automated testing and evaluation gates before release.
• Set up separate development, test and production environments so teams can build and run controlled pilots.
• Implement monitoring, logging, tracing and alerting for AI applications, agents and model usage, including cost and token tracking.
• Manage releases, rollbacks and incident response, and support the platform's kill-switch and change-control processes.
• Automate routine operations and keep the platform patched, scalable and resilient.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in DevOps, site reliability or platform engineering.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Azure, Kubernetes (AKS) and containers.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform or Bicep.
• CI/CD pipeline design, ideally with Azure DevOps.
• Scripting in Python, PowerShell or Bash.
• Experience operating production systems with monitoring and on-call practices.

Preferred Skills

• Experience deploying LLM or ML workloads and managing model endpoints.
• Familiarity with LLM observability and evaluation tooling.
• Experience in a regulated industry with formal change management.
• Azure DevOps Engineer Expert or Kubernetes certification.

Our technology

• Microsoft Azure (AKS, API Management, Service Bus, Key Vault, Entra ID, Azure AI services), Snowflake, MCP servers, Python and .NET, Azure DevOps, and leading large language models.

Why join us

• You will be part of the team that brings AI, including agentic AI, into the operations of a growing fund administrator.
• The work is hands-on and visible: you will see your work change how hundreds of colleagues do their jobs and how we serve clients, and you will help shape the platform and practices that the rest of the firm builds on.

About the team

Ultimus is investing in AI to transform how fund administration work gets done, from generative AI assistants, intelligent document processing and machine learning to a growing set of agentic AI workflows. The AI Infrastructure team builds and runs the secure, shared platform that all of our AI solutions are built on, giving teams across the firm a consistent, well-governed foundation for building, deploying and scaling AI applications, models and agents. You will join early and help shape the platform and practices the rest of the firm builds on.
