Your manager and team
Our org structure is made up of pods with distinct areas of focus to keep us all working on the most impactful things for our customers all of the time. Some of our team members work across multiple pods. Our structure was conceived with impact, autonomy and velocity in mind and we'd love to share more with you throughout our interview process. Your manager, Daniele Tassone - Technical Director (Product Engineering), will develop your skills and enable you to deliver on the pod mission.

Re-build the Genie AI DevOps function from scratch, own the entire DevOps process and act as the guarantor of the delivery of Genie product to our customers
Work alongside our team of software and machine learning engineers to implement security-as-code principles using Terraform throughout the stack in an agile environment

Enabling & educating other Genies so that everyone is empowered
We are a start up in an exceptionally dynamic stage of our growth. We are a customer and employee led organisation. What this means is that we adapt to our customers' needs, and the problems we’re solving today could be very different in six months, or even by the end of this recruitment process. We also listen to our team as we empower you to have full autonomy of your role - you're the expert. You should expect to work with us on how your role develops, grows and changes throughout your time at Genie.
It can be tough here because
We don’t structure your work for you. We give the team the what and the whole team comes up with the how

But we think you’ll love
The autonomy and trust we give you to deliver your best work
Learning from some of the brightest minds in the field of AI
The exhilaration of a fast pace start up

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as GCP and AWS, and proficiency with modern infrastructure tools including Terraform, Helm, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Kubernetes
Collaborative mindset with a genuine enthusiasm for working across teams to drive shared outcomes
Comfortable working independently while also contributing within a small, diverse, and agile team environment
Highly proactive in managing your own workload, task tracking, and prioritisation
Passionate about continuous self-improvement and committed to ongoing personal and professional development
(Don’t worry about ticking every single box on the list to be considered for this role.)
