Senior AI/DevOps Engineer

Build the Sovereign AI Backbone of Europe

Most AI infrastructure runs on somebody else's terms. We are building the alternative.

Regulated enterprises across Europe face a problem that is not going away. They need AI to automate complex processes, extract value from proprietary data, and stay competitive, but they cannot do so using platforms that route their data through jurisdictions outside their control. That is not a technical limitation. It is a legal, regulatory, and strategic one.

GLBNXT exists to solve exactly that. We are a European AI platform purpose-built for organisations operating under strict compliance requirements. Our platform enables enterprise teams to build and deploy AI applications, including intelligent assistants, automated workflows, retrieval-augmented knowledge systems, and custom model deployments, all within a sovereign European infrastructure. Everything runs on EU-hosted compute, is certified to ISO 27001:2022, and is architected to meet the requirements of GDPR, NIS2, and the EU AI Act. Organisations do not have to choose between capability and control. With GLBNXT, they get both.

We work with enterprises in financial services, insurance, government, and critical infrastructure. For these organisations, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI. It is how to do so responsibly, with full auditability and without regulatory exposure. That question is what we answer every day.

Now we need the engineer who will own the infrastructure that makes all of that possible.

What you'll do

This is not a DevOps role in the narrow sense. You are a senior generalist platform engineer who will own the production posture of GLBNXT alongside our lead developer from day one. On day thirty you will be reshaping our deployment architecture. On day ninety you will be the technical anchor of an enterprise rollout. Every customer who touches the platform will feel the quality of your judgment.
