Senior Backend Engineer, Core DevOps: Container Registry

Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is designing and owning high-scale backend systems while leading through influence and clear writing in a remote, async team that builds AI into production engineering.
If you like to own backend problems end to end and shape the architecture of something millions of people depend on, this is your kind of work. You get real agency over technical direction, room to experiment with agentic AI in production, and a remote, asynchronous culture where clear writing and self-direction count more than being loudest in the room. You will mentor others, raise the quality bar, and make the pragmatic calls that keep a high-scale platform fast and reliable.
