Job Description

The job at a glance:

The three teams in our streamlined squad are currently working on several LLM-based use-cases to serve jobseekers better fitting jobs and recruiters better fitting talents via semantic search. We are using inhouse-tuned LLMs that we deploy on AWS together with Vector DBs to support retrieval.

This exciting role will be about managing AWS accounts and infrastructure to host our systems for LLM-inference, including advanced RAG. To this end you will collaborate tightly with Data Scientists, Machine Learning, Big Data, and Software Engineers in a Scrum environment. You can support streamlining deployment and establish best practices in infrastructure management for large models to build a better future where a new job is just a click away.

Your responsibilities:

Join our team as a Senior Cloud Engineer and play a pivotal role in shaping the infrastructure of our LLM-based services. Your expertise will be instrumental in designing and implementing scalable Vector Database solutions to power our self-hosted LLM-based services. As a strategic liaison between our central IaaS teams and business units, you will ensure seamless collaboration and knowledge sharing, driving process improvements and efficiencies.

You will spearhead the setup and administration of newly created AWS accounts, ensuring efficient resource allocation and management. By streamlining LLM-Operations, you will empower two teams in our business to focus on their core objectives. Effective communication is key in this role, as you will need to explain complex cloud concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, fostering a culture of transparency and collaboration.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the experience of jobseekers and recruiters, and contribute to the development of a cutting-edge search and recommender system. We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Cloud Engineer who is passionate about driving efficiency, scalability, and innovation in cloud infrastructure. If you’re a collaborative problem-solver with a growth mindset and a track record of elevating processes and standards, we’d love to hear from you!
