At Permutable, we're building real-time AI systems that transform large volumes of global news, market and proprietary data into market intelligence and systematic signals for financial institutions.
We're evolving our technology towards a more real-time, event-driven and agent-driven architecture and are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to take ownership of the platform and infrastructure behind it.
As a small, ambitious team, you'll work directly with our founder and engineering team and have significant influence over how our next-generation architecture is designed and built.
What You'll Do
Design & Scale our Platform: Build and evolve highly available production infrastructure across AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, ECS, Docker, RDS/PostgreSQL and S3.
Build Event-Driven Architecture: Help move our architecture from scheduled pipelines towards real-time, event-driven services using messaging, queues, asynchronous processing and distributed systems.
Build Infrastructure for AI Agents: Develop the infrastructure required to run increasingly agent-driven AI workflows reliably in production, including state management, task execution, model routing, retries and observability
Support AI Infrastructure: Work closely with our AI engineers supporting production NLP, LLM and quantitative model workloads, including our in-house GPU infrastructure.
Automate Infrastructure: Build and manage Infrastructure-as-Code using Pulumi and automate deployments through GitHub Actions.
Own Reliability & Observability: Build monitoring, logging, tracing and alerting across our data, model, service and agent infrastructure.
Requirements
Build the data foundations behind twice award-winning market intelligence.
At Permutable, we turn global reporting into structured, explainable intelligence across macroeconomics, commodities and geopolitics for institutional investors.
Our work has earned two innovation awards in 2026: AI Innovation of the Year: Europe at the Euromoney Markets Awards and Technology Provider of the Year: Innovation at the Hedgeweek European Awards.
We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help build and run the data platform behind that work: reliable pipelines, well-designed storage and infrastructure that other engineers can build on with confidence.
This role brings together software engineering, data engineering and production operations. It suits someone who enjoys understanding how a system fits together, making practical design decisions and following those decisions through into production.
Why join Permutable?
The opportunity is to work on the foundations of a business where data is the product.
The engineering has a clear purpose: helping investment teams investigate changing market conditions using structured, traceable information. Pipeline reliability, data quality and safe releases directly affect the intelligence they can use.
You’ll have scope across the path from data processing and storage to infrastructure and production reliability. You’ll also help make other engineers more effective through reusable tooling, clearer workflows and dependable platform capabilities.
If you enjoy building systems and understanding what happens after they are deployed, there is substantial engineering work here to get involved in.
What you’ll do
Build, maintain and improve production data pipelines, including how they recover from failures and handle reruns, backfills and changing schemas.
Develop tested, maintainable software, contributing through code review and safe releases.
Help shape data storage and modelling decisions around the needs of the systems and people using the data.
Develop cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows that make changes repeatable and manageable.
Build reusable libraries, templates or workflows that help other engineers deliver reliably.
Improve monitoring, alerting, data quality checks and recovery procedures.
Work with engineers and data users to understand requirements, explain trade-offs and…
