IoT DevOps Engineer (Azure & MLOps)

Azure DevOps Engineer — Cloud, Kubernetes & MLOps

Senior Data Engineer

Azure/Databricks Data Engineer

Senior Manager, Head of Data Engineering

Senior MLOps Architect for AI Platform & Cloud

It's no secret that traditional site reliability teams struggle to keep pace with manual monitoring, reactive troubleshooting, and labor-intensive deployments. The rise of AI presents a solution, but many companies fail to fully leverage its potential, resulting in systems that underperform and bottlenecks that stifle innovation. Data shows that 73% of companies struggle with deployment delays and operational downtime, primarily due to outdated processes and lack of AI-driven automation.

At IgniteTech, we are tackling these issues head-on by building AI-first cloud solutions that are designed to anticipate and prevent problems before they arise. We focus on integrating AI and machine learning into every facet of cloud infrastructure management, from automated monitoring systems to intelligent CI/CD pipelines. This approach creates environments that not only self-heal but also continuously evolve, reducing downtime, improving performance, and pushing the boundaries of what cloud services can do.

This isn’t your typical site reliability role, where you'd be reacting to problems and manually intervening when things go wrong. Here, you’ll lead the charge in building AI-enhanced monitoring systems that detect and resolve 95% of issues before they ever reach end users. You’ll also architect and manage AI-automated CI/CD pipelines that reduce deployment times by 30% while slashing manual interventions. The ideal candidate thrives in an AI-driven environment, is excited by the prospect of automation-first solutions, and enjoys pushing the envelope of cloud infrastructure design.

In this role, you’ll join a global team of innovators who are redefining cloud infrastructure. Your work will play a key role in our mission to deliver next-gen, AI-driven operational excellence. We’re seeking someone who is passionate about AI and ready to make a lasting impact on the future of cloud services. If that’s you, we encourage you to apply and be part of something revolutionary.

What you will be doing

Implementing AI-based monitoring services to automatically detect, predict, and resolve issues before they impact operations

Managing CI/CD pipelines with AI-driven automation to enhance deployment efficiency and reduce manual intervention

What you will NOT be doing

Focusing solely on manual monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance of systems; your goal will be to get AI to do these things for you

Key Responsibilities

Achieve seamless scalability and optimize performance for AI-powered cloud services, ensuring 99.99% uptime while delivering AI-enhanced software upgrades and customizations that meet clients' evolving needs

Candidate Requirements

3+ years of DevOps experience, including automation of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure management

2+ years of experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Proficiency in AI and machine learning tools used for monitoring, automation, and predictive analytics (or strong willingness to learn and adapt to AI-driven technologies)

Strong programming and scripting skills, with experience in automating tasks and building AI-driven processes

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
