The Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) Oxford’s purpose is to have a global impact by fundamentally reimagining the way science and technology translate into end-to-end solutions and delivering these solutions in programmes and platforms that respond to humanity’s most challenging problems.
EIT Oxford will ensure scientific discoveries and pioneering science are turned into products for the benefit of society that can have high-impact worldwide and, over time, be commercialised to ensure long-term sustainability.
Led by a world-class faculty of scientists, technologists, policy makers, economists and entrepreneurs, the Ellison Institute of Technology aims to develop and deploy commercially sustainable solutions to solve some of humanity’s most enduring challenges. Our work is guided by four Humane Endeavours: Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology, Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture, Climate Change & Managing Atmospheric CO2 and Artificial Intelligence & Robotics.
Set for completion in 2027, the EIT Campus in Littlemore will include more than 300,000 sq ft of research laboratories, educational and gathering spaces. Fuelled by growing ambition and the strength of Oxford’s science ecosystem, EIT is now expanding its footprint to a 2 million sq ft Campus across the western part of The Oxford Science Park. Designed by Foster + Partners led by Lord Norman Foster, this will become a transformative workplace for up to 7,000 people, with autonomous laboratories, purpose-built laboratories including a plant sciences building and dynamic spaces to spark interdisciplinary collaboration.
Our MLOps team
Join ourMLOpsteam to build the cloud and compute foundation that enables scientific breakthroughs. Deliver reliable, secure platforms and self-service guardrails that accelerate experimentation and turn ideas into results—faster, at scale, and with confidence.
Day-to-day, you might:
- Architect, build, andoperateour cloud platform, moving infrastructure beyond theinitialsetup to deliver resilient compute, network, and storage, including full-sized GPU clusters
- Drive the implementation of highly structured, auditable delivery pipelines (CI/CD/GitOps) using to enforce automated, repeatable infrastructure changes
- Design and deploy automated governance and security controls using Policy-as-Code (specificallyKyvernoand YAML) to ensure strong isolation, protect data, and meet internal audit standards
- Establish the foundational monitoring, alerting, and telemetry frameworkrequiredfor robust operations, defining clear SLOs, and setting the course for future SRE work
- Partner with Research and Data teams to build self-service capabilities that efficiently support diverse workloads, from Python notebooks to distributed clusters
What makes you a great fit:
- Proven experience platform engineering, with a demonstrabletrack recordof architecting and automating operational processes
- A highly proactive attitude and a passion for introducing and automating operational structure
- Expertisewith at least one major cloud provider (OCI, AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Proficiencywith Terraform for declarative, large-scale infrastructure provisioning
- Comfortable with operating and managing large-scale, resilient Kubernetes clusters
- Proficiencyin at least one major language for system-level tools (e.g. Python, Go, or Java) with some scripting experience
It would also be great if you had:
- Familiarity with modern Policy-as-Code tooling
- A passion for introducing and automating operational rigour and structure
- Experience supporting ML and Data Engineering workloads
