Wiser Technology is a leading software development company. Our team of 600 engineers across Europe excels in web and mobile software development, video streaming, defense, machine learning, automotive, e-commerce, and AI. We leverage top-tier technologies and expertise driven by a passion for innovation to drive progress.

Wiser builds and operates enterprise platforms for large, regulated organisations — multi-channel AI products combining retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic AI, and strict data-isolation requirements, delivered on sovereign cloud infrastructure. We've delivered these in cloud and on-prem; we're now standing up similar platforms on Google Cloud (GCP), and we need a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead that build-out.

You'll own the cloud platform underneath these AI products end-to-end: GKE clusters, GitOps delivery, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, and the security posture that regulated and sovereign clients demand. This is a hands-on senior role with platform-design ownership — you'll set patterns the rest of the team builds on.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Design and operate multi-environment (Dev/QA/Prod) GKE platforms in a hub-spoke model, including networking, service mesh, and multi-tenant / multi-subsidiary isolation.
Build Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform — reusable, reviewable modules for repeatable, client-isolated deployments.
Own GitOps delivery (Argo CD / Config Sync) and CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build / Cloud Deploy / GitHub Actions) with a tag-based, multi-client release strategy.
Run the AI-platform layer in production: Vertex AI (Gemini / Model Garden) or OpenAI-compatible model endpoints, vector search, and the RAG/agentic services behind FastAPI backends and Next.js / React Native frontends.
Implement observability (Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus, Cloud Monitoring, Grafana) and on-call/operational runbooks.
Enforce a sovereign-grade security posture — Secret Manager, workload identity, IAM/RBAC, network segmentation, prompt-gateway and inference-isolation controls.
Mentor engineers and codify platform patterns as the team scales from Azure into GCP.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

5+ years DevOps / platform / SRE, with deep Kubernetes in production — ideally GKE (strong AKS/EKS experience welcome and transferable).
Strong GCP (or proven cloud-portability: deep Azure/AWS plus eagerness to lead on GCP).
Terraform to a senior standard; GitOps (Argo CD or equivalent); modern CI/CD.
Container build/runtime, Artifact Registry, networking, and service mesh (Istio / Anthos Service Mesh).
Production observability and incident response.
A security mindset for regulated / sovereign environments (data residency, isolation, secrets, least-privilege).

NICE TO HAVE:

Hands-on running GenAI workloads in production — Vertex AI, RAG pipelines, vector databases, agentic frameworks, LLM gateways.
Multi-tenant / multi-customer SaaS platform delivery.
Cloud-portability and on-prem reference architectures.
GCP Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, DevOps Engineer).

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

You'll be the founding DevOps engineer for our GCP GenAI platform practice — establishing the patterns, not inheriting them — on flagship sovereign AI products for major enterprise clients.
