CommonAI is redefining how deep tech AI solutions are built through shared infrastructure and collaborative engineering. CommonAI Compute, part of the CommonAI group, delivers multi-cloud compute products services for AI teams. We are building at the intersection of AI, cloud and large-scale infrastructure, working with commercial, government and research partners to accelerate AI adoption across the UK and Europe.
CommonAI Compute is a member of the government funded Scaling Inference Programme. A £70M project to advance AI inference hardware and software infrastructure. CommonAI Compute is funded by Barclays, alongside the CommonAI High Assurance AI Programme that is deploying AI into regulated markets. These two products sit in the non-profit sister organisation CommonAI CIC and feed into our commercial product development.
The Opportunity
We are building the next generation of software for the AI-powered multi-cloud compute ecosystem. Our team operates at the frontier of AI-assisted engineering, leveraging autonomous agents and cutting-edge foundation models to rapidly design, build and deploy products that solve complex infrastructure and compute challenges for our customers.
We're looking for a Senior Product Developer who can help us define AI-native engineering leadership and is excited to leverage these new technologies to help shape the future of software development.
