That’s where you come in! Join our global team and help us make great cinema accessible to everyone, everywhere.
About the RoleThis isn't a traditional DevOps role, and it's not an ML infrastructure role. You're an infrastructure engineer who builds and ships software — internal tools, services, and agentic automation that solve real infrastructure problems. Think automated incident response, intelligent observability, MCP servers that connect infrastructure systems, and support ticket triaging. You apply agentic patterns to the messy operational world, not train models or manage GPUs.
We're looking for someone senior — you architect systems, mentor other engineers, and lead by example. You've built real applications and tools in the infra space before, not just configured existing ones. You don't hesitate to poke around unfamiliar systems, take full ownership of problems, and drive them to completion.
Our infrastructure team operates on SRE principles: we build reliable, automated systems and eliminate toil. We also build and maintain the platforms that let the rest of engineering deploy, scale, and monitor their services. You'll own problems end-to-end, from bare-metal CDN servers to Kubernetes clusters to the AI-powered workflows that tie everything together. You use AI tools in your own workflow too — not as a novelty, but as a core part of how you build.
Small team, high autonomy, direct impact.
Hybrid in London (2-3 days/week). Remote considered for strong candidates outside London.
Where you'll have impact:Build & Ship — Agentic Infrastructure
Design and build agentic workflows for infrastructure operations — incident response, observability, support ticket triaging
Build and maintain MCP servers and AI-powered automation that connects infrastructure systems
Assess and own the security surface of agentic tools and workflows you build — understand what you're exposing and how to lock it down
Build internal tools and services that make the engineering team faster
Prototype rapidly using AI-assisted development workflows
Collaborate with product engineers — you're a peer, not a support function
Write production-quality code, not just glue scripts
Platform & Infrastructure
Design, run, and evolve our EKS clusters — the primary platform for all MUBI services
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, ArgoCD, Helm)
Operate and extend our in-house bare-metal CDN spanning multiple global locations
Manage cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Chef
Build and maintain Kubernetes operators and controllers to automate platform workflows
Design and operate data pipelines and event-driven architectures using Kafka
Maintain and improve observability (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
Define and uphold SLO commitments — own availability and reliability targets
Automate everything worth automating
Cloud: AWS, Kubernetes (currently EKS)
IaC: Terraform, Chef
CI/CD: Jenkins, ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize
Observability: ELK Stack, Prometheus with Thanos, Grafana, Datadog
Streaming/Messaging: Kafka
Servers: Nginx (with Lua), bare-metal CDN
Databases: MariaDB, PostgreSQL
AI/Agents: Claude, MCP, agentic workflow tooling
Languages: Language-agnostic — strong fundamentals matter more than specific languages
5+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps
Interest or experience in building agentic workflows, AI-powered automation, or working with LLM APIs
Strong software engineering skills — you've built and shipped applications and tools in the infrastructure space, not just configured existing systems
Strong Kubernetes experience — you understand the internals, not just kubectl apply
Deep Linux and networking knowledge — you're comfortable running, debugging, and automating bare-metal servers, not just clicking around a cloud console
Security-minded — you think about the attack surface of what you build, especially when integrating AI and agentic tools into infrastructure
Deep understanding of distributed systems, high availability, and SLO-driven operations
Technical leadership — you architect solutions, mentor engineers, and raise the bar for the team
Infrastructure as code experience (Terraform)
Nice-to-haves:
Experience building Kubernetes operators, controllers, or custom platform abstractions
AWS or other cloud provider experience
Experience with bare-metal servers or CDN operations
Background in backend or full-stack development
Ruby, Python, or Go experience
Experience with Kafka or event-driven architectures
Data pipeline design and operations
Experience building with LLM APIs, MCP, or agentic frameworks
Familiarity with AI-powered operational tooling (AIOps, intelligent alerting, automated runbooks)
Video streaming domain knowledge
Don't meet every requirement? Please apply anyway. We're looking for curious, capable people who want to build great things. If you think you'd thrive here, we'd love to talk.
We want to make cinema accessible to everyone. We believe people from different backgrounds bring different ideas that foster innovation and engagement, allowing us to attract great people to develop the best experience for our users.
