Staff Platform Engineer

DeepL, London

The team

You will join the Hybrid Platform Engineering track, which builds and operates the compute layer underpinning DeepL's products and research: the Kubernetes control plane, node lifecycle, networking, storage and core cluster services, across both on-prem and cloud infrastructure. Today that spans hybrid infrastructure in Europe - including large on-prem GPU clusters powering DeepL's research and hundreds of on-prem GPU nodes serving production inference - as well as AWS regions across the globe running the product.

The track is deepening this hybrid model, unifying how workloads run across on-prem hardware and AWS to give product and research teams a self-service foundation they can build on.
