• What you'll be doing
• Architect and deploy LLMs including DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and LLaMA into secure, air-gapped production environments
• Configure and optimise NVIDIA H100/H200 GPU clusters, NVLink and InfiniBand infrastructure for high-performance inference
• Apply GPTQ, AWQ and GGUF quantisation techniques to maximise deployment efficiency without compromising model performance
• Deploy and optimise inference runtimes including vLLM, TGI and Ollama within Kubernetes environments, delivering target throughput and latency SLAs
• What you'll bring
• Proven commercial experience deploying production LLMs using vLLM, TGI, Ollama or equivalent inference platforms
• Expert knowledge of Kubernetes, NVIDIA GPU infrastructure, GPU memory optimisation and high-performance computing
• Hands-on experience with model quantisation techniques including GPTQ, AWQ or GGUF
• Experience delivering on-premise or air-gapped AI deployments. Experience within government, defence, cyber security or other highly regulated environments would be advantageous.
• Who this suits
• You're an infrastructure engineer who thrives on solving complex deployment challenges rather than building AI applications.
