We're creating a new engineering team to build innovative business-critical solutions that will power Bauer Media's audio platform of the future.

Play your part in growing the team - contributing to interviews and helping new engineers get up to speed quickly. Champion quality and operational excellence Champion DevOps practices, CI/CD, and a culture of automation and observability as a natural part of how you build. Lead on testing strategies and uphold security standards day to day. Participate in incident management rotas, providing hands-on technical support and clear communication during high-pressure situations. What We're Looking For Experience of some but not necessarily all of the following: Technical capability Solid hands-on engineering experience, with active proficiency across frontend and backend development - enough to lead by example and contribute to technical decisions. Experience with our core stack - a Java Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes and Kafka back end, with a TypeScript/React front end. Experience designing and building services within a microservices or domain-driven architecture - defining service boundaries and working with asynchronous, event-driven communication (e.g. via Kafka) - and an understanding of how those decisions play out once services are running in production.

About the role and team: You'll join our AI Platform Engineering team, which builds and runs the infrastructure connecting CreateFuture's engineers and client workloads to multiple LLM providers - from the inference control plane (the API gateway and routing layer for Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, and others) through to the orchestration and lifecycle tooling that turns individual AI integrations into a reusable 'capability marketplace', and the trust, safety, and governance controls that keep it all auditable as it scales. We're hiring across this team at several levels - Principal, Senior, and Mid: Principal engineers set technical direction for the platform and act as a trusted extension of the CreateFuture leadership team day to day; Senior engineers own delivery of key platform components, from the gateway through to orchestration; and Mid-level engineers build hands-on experience across the gateway, orchestration, and governance layers, with support from senior colleagues. What you'll be doing: Build, run, and evolve the API gateway and routing layer connecting engineers and client workloads to multiple LLM providers (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI), including the failover and routing strategies you may need to defend in an incident. Design and build orchestration and lifecycle management for AI capabilities and agents, including the tooling that lets teams register, discover, and reuse capabilities rather than rebuilding them. Implement and maintain RBAC/OIDC access controls and disciplined API key lifecycle management across the platform. Build caching layers and cost/latency optimisation strategies, and the adoption and reuse analytics that show whether the platform is actually being used. Contribute to API design, versioning, and promotion workflows as capabilities move from experimental to production - with more senior engineers setting these standards and more junior engineers learning and applying them. Bring a trust, safety, and governance lens to the platform, helping ensure the agents and capabilities running on it are well-governed, auditable, and safe to scale. We'd love to talk to you if you: Are proficient in Python or Go, with production experience appropriate to your level - from hands on delivery (Mid) through to setting technical direction (Principal). Have production experience running API gateways (Kong preferred; Envoy or Apigee accepted), or are keen to build this experience. Have integrated with, or are curious about, multiple LLM providers (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI), including failover and routing strategies you've had to defend under pressure. Understand, or want to build expertise in, RBAC/OIDC and disciplined API key lifecycle management. Are familiar with, or interested in, MCP or comparable service-registry patterns - a strong signal at any level. What we'll offer you: We trust people to do their best work.
