AI Platform & MLOps Engineer

About Us

At IdeaSouq, we are building the "AI operating system" to transform how private market investors and funds discover, evaluate, and manage their opportunities.

Traditional investment workflows are drowning in data silos, manual screening, and overwhelming deal flow. We're a startup building the solution : an AI analyst that turns this deal flow chaos into funding intelligence. Our platform provides smart sourcing, deep evaluation based on a fund's unique thesis, agentic workflows to find missing data, and seamless portfolio monitoring, all while built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security and data sovereignty .

We are looking for a foundational engineer to join our small, high-impact team. If you are passionate about building secure, scalable, and self-evolving AI systems from the ground up, this is your opportunity to define the future of investment technology.

The Role

As our Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer (Enterprise Cloud & AIOps), you will be the chief architect and hands-on builder of the infrastructure that powers our entire AI platform. You will own the deployment, optimization, and operational excellence of the core AI models and agentic workflows that are our product.

This is a critical, high-ownership role. You will be responsible for building the production-grade MLOps pipelines, secure back-end services, and AIOps frameworks. You will ensure our platform meets the "demanding investment environments" of our clients by guaranteeing scalability, reliability, and our promise of data sovereignty.

• Cloud Deployment & Orchestration : Deploy, scale, and manage our AI services using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS, EKS) . You will be the primary owner of our Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) , responsible for provisioning all cloud resources.
• Secure Multi-Cloud Architecture : Implement and manage our data sovereignty strategy across AWS and Azure , ensuring sensitive client data remains secure, segregated, and compliant.
• Performance & Cost Optimization : Relentlessly profile and optimize our AI models (e.G., quantization, inference speed) and infrastructure for latency, throughput, and cost. Implement serverless (Lambda / Azure Functions) and auto-scaling logic.
• Develop AIOps Solutions : Build and manage a comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting framework ( CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus ).
