ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD: We are a fast-growing company building next-generation GPU cloud infrastructure. NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a cloud platform providing on-demand and private cloud infrastructure for high-performance workloads. Hyperstack is used by teams running compute-heavy applications that need speed, reliability, and control.

We're a scale-up by design: moving fast, solving complex problems and building technology that has real-world impact. At the core of NexGen Cloud is a team of curious, driven people who care deeply about quality, ownership and collaboration.

THE ROLE: Senior Software Engineer (AI Studio) AI Studio is Hyperstack's fastest-growing product and an end-to-end GenAI platform that enables customers to fine-tune models, evaluate performance, and deploy production inference without managing infrastructure. As adoption grows and workloads scale, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape and evolve the core systems that power the platform.

In this role, you will take ownership of critical product areas and underlying services across the AI Studio stack. You will design and build robust user-facing features, APIs, and backend systems that orchestrate model training, evaluation, and deployment at scale. Beyond implementation, you will play a key role in shaping technical direction by making architectural decisions, improving system reliability and performance, and raising the quality bar across the codebase.

You will work closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to turn complex and often ambiguous requirements into well-designed, production-ready solutions. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on platform scalability, developer experience, and customer success as teams run real-world AI workloads on Hyperstack.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning complex systems end to end, thrives in fast-moving product environments, and cares deeply about building software that is reliable, maintainable, and built to scale.

Role positioning: This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced Software Engineer with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. You will lead the technical design and delivery of complex systems and product areas, from early exploration through production and long-term maintenance.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Key responsibility area What this looks like in practice System ownership and technical design Own the design, implementation, and evolution of complex product areas and backend systems. Lead technical design for new features and services, making architectural decisions that balance scalability, reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability from early design through production and ongoing operation.

End-to-end software development Build and maintain user-facing interfaces and backend services/APIs as required by the product, ensuring cohesive end-to-end functionality and a strong user experience.

Code quality Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. Lead by example in code reviews, uphold and evolve shared engineering standards, and drive improvements to the quality, structure, and maintainability of the codebase over time.

Documentation Produce and maintain clear technical documentation for systems, APIs, and features. Help keep internal knowledge bases and relevant user-facing documentation accurate and up to date.

Collaboration Partner closely with Product and Design to shape solutions from ambiguous requirements. Work with engineers across the wider Engineering group to align on architecture, shared systems, and technical standards, and to manage cross-team dependencies. Communicate technical trade-offs, risks, and constraints clearly.

Reliability & performance Take responsibility for production readiness and operational health. Identify failure modes, improve observability, and drive performance and reliability improvements.

Technical Leadership Support and mentor other engineers through collaboration, design discussions, and code reviews, helping raise the overall quality and effectiveness of the team.

Continuous improvement Identify high-impact improvements to architecture, tooling, and processes, and drive initiatives that improve system quality and developer productivity over time.

ABOUT YOU: We're more interested in how you think and work than in a perfect CV. You'll likely bring a combination of the following:

Essential

• Strong experience designing, building, and operating production backend systems and APIs, with proficiency in Python and frameworks such as Flask.
• Proven ability to own complex asynchronous, long-running, or resource-intensive workflows end to end, with a focus on reliability, observability, and operational readiness.
• Experience shipping full-stack product features using modern web frameworks such as Next.js, with a solid understanding of frontend and backend integration.
• Practical understanding of AI Studio style workflows in production, such as model training or fine-tuning orchestration, evaluation, deployment, and inference. You do not need to be an ML researcher, but you should understand how models move through real systems.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, generative AI systems, or fine-tuning workflows, including using or integrating model APIs and serving frameworks.
• Experience building AI platform capabilities such as model versioning, evaluation tooling, deployment safety, monitoring, and observability for model performance and drift.
• Exposure to GPU-intensive or distributed workloads, including performance tuning, capacity considerations, or cost-aware system design.
• Experience building developer platforms or internal tooling that supports experimentation and rapid iteration, such as workflow-driven systems, job orchestration, or data tooling.
• Contributions to open-source projects or personal projects in the AI, ML infrastructure, or developer tools space.
• Curiosity about emerging AI tools and best practices, and a track record of quickly learning and applying new technologies in a fast-evolving space.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme
• Employee wellbeing benefits
• 25 days of holiday, plus public holidays
• Flexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location)
• Real ownership and autonomy, with the trust to take initiative and experiment
• The opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact as we scale
• Clear career progression and growth opportunities in a fast-growing company
• A collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership
