We are Permutable AI – a London based market intelligence company transforming how global institutions understand markets. Founded in 2020 by former Merrill Lynch and Citibank trader Wilson Chan, we were built on a simple realisation: the world’s markets now move faster than legacy intelligence systems can interpret.
Our purpose is to redefine how financial institutions process information by delivering real‑time, explainable AI that turns billions of global data points into immediate, actionable insight. Our platform powers energy, commodities, macro and multi‑asset teams with intelligence that is fast, transparent and institutionally robust – bringing clarity to markets where speed and understanding matter most.
Our vision is to create the most advanced real‑time intelligence system in the world, capable of understanding global events the moment they unfold, with full transparency and traceability. By combining multi‑LLM architectures with deep engineering expertise, we are setting the new benchmark for how capital markets integrate sentiment, narrative and macro interpretation into everyday decision‑making.
The Role: Senior DevOps Engineer
As we embark on an exciting phase of growth, we are looking to bring on a talented Sr DevOps Engineer. You will be joining a small team where research and engineering doesn’t sit on a shelf – it powers live trading decisions. You will be supporting customer‑facing rollouts with Product and Commercial teams, ensuring production reliability. Additionally, you will help improve engineering processes, observability, and system resilience as we scale.
Behind every line of code and every dataset, there’s a team of curious, driven people who bring ideas to life. At Permutable AI, ambitious engineers can do their best work without getting lost in a corporate machine.
Experience and qualities we’d like you to have
- 4+ years’ relevant experience in a similar DevOps Engineer focussed role

- high ownership mentality who can work across the stack with a primary responsibility for DevOps reliability
- demonstrated experience working in start‑up/scale‑up environment(s)
- similar experience in data, AI, market data, fintech or other institutional/enterprise‑facing API products
- excellent communication and pragmatic, methodical decision making skills
- happy to stay hands‑on while helping the platform function operate more effectively
- self‑starter with a passion for building innovative products and leading small teams
- ability to balance speed with robustness, and challenge/push back when necessary
- experience with streaming architecture
- understanding of machine learning and/or experience building out MLOPS on top of DevOps
- experience with scaling LLM/agentic products
