What we’re all about.

Do you ever have the urge to do things better than the last time? We do. And it’s this urge that drives us every day. Our environment of discovery and innovation means we’re able to create deep and valuable relationships with our clients to create real change for them and their industries. It’s what got us here – and it’s what will make our future. At Quantexa, you’ll experience autonomy and support in equal measures allowing you to form a career that matches your ambitions. 41% of our colleagues come from an ethnic or religious minority background. We speak over 20 languages across our 47 nationalities, creating a sense of belonging for all.

Opportunity

You’ll be joining one of our DevOps teams in our R&D department working on the Quantexa Cloud Platform and accompanying solutions, including platforms supporting data‑intensive and AI‑driven workloads. The platform is comprised of a landscape of low‑maintenance, on‑demand, and highly secure environments that host our software for customers and partners. These environments also support a wide range of internal use cases, underpinning the work of our R&D teams.

As aSenior DevOps Engineer, you will:

  • Contribute to the evolution and improvement of our cloud‑based platform, with a strong focus on availability, resilience, performance and security.
  • Take ownership of significant technical problems and initiatives, driving them through to delivery with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Enhance our automation practices, helping reduce operational toil and improve the consistency and reliability of our platform, including the use of modern tooling and AI‑assisted approaches where appropriate.
  • Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to strengthen our CI/CD pipelines and optimise build, test and deployment workflows, with an eye on improving overall developer productivity.
  • Support the development of cloud‑based product capabilities that customers can integrate into their own DevOps processes.
  • Contribute to technical discussions, provide guidance on best practices, and help shape engineering standards within the team.
  • Offer informal mentoring and knowledge‑sharing to engineers, supporting the growth of the wider DevOps community.

This role focuses on deep hands‑on technical expertise and the ability to lead complex workstreams, while stopping short of the architectural ownership and broader technical leadership responsibilities of a Lead Engineer.

Our Stack Includes:

  • Kubernetes, Docker, Istio
  • GitOps / DevOps tooling: ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
  • Scripting & Automation: Bash, Python, Groovy, Golang
  • IaC & Infrastructure Management: Terraform, Ansible, Packer, CasC
  • Provisioning Frameworks: Elasticsearch, Spark, Hadoop, Airflow, PostgreSQL, etc.
  • Observability: Fluentd, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager
  • Public Cloud: Primarily GCP and Azure, with some AWS

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
