In pop culture, rubies often symbolise allure and mystery. Think of AI models as powerful, precise, and transformative. Apply for this job before the opportunity snaps shut like Julia Roberts reaching for that ruby necklace.

By the way this role pays up to £63,000 not £630,000. If you want to earn the bigger number (not than anyone outside the top 0.1% ever will) then you know where to apply… 😊

A statecraft masterclass.

Perfect depth, tone, pitch and balance. Bravo!

Stick that in your AI.

In the Godfather movie, Vito lovingly pets a grey striped tabby cat on his daughter’s wedding day.

Said cat was actually a stray found in the car park and not part of the original script.

This role is a bit like that - unscripted - namely you should thrive on ambiguity rather than fear it.

Yes it’s true, DevOps peeps love a remote role.

Well, this is hybrid. We know. Keep reading.

Savour the Goldilocks moment. Not too big, not too small.

Hyper-growth scaleup with Artemis levels of rocket fuel behind it.

Series A rocket. Ground floor ticket. Hybrid, but worth it.

The traditional seniority yardstick for software engineers is broken 👉

❇️ Junior 1-3 years
❇️ Midweight: 4-7 years
❇️ Senior: 8+ years

AI scrambled everything.

And with it - salaries.

Not what any hiring manager wants to hear but...
salaries are trending upwards as the battle to secure top AI talent intensifies.

You now have “junior” AI-native engineers commanding “senior” salaries.

And “senior” AI-deficient engineers dropping down to “midweight” salaries just to get back in the game.

In olde English, the K in knight was actually pronounced. So you might holler "G’night Knight!" as you nonchalantly unseated your rival in a joust.

Make no mistake, you will work hard in this DevOps role, but you’ll also have a lot of fun along way.

No jousting maybe, but we do organise lots of other social, team-building activities on a regular basis.

"I have reviewed what you guys do and it’s really impressive."

Followed by 👉

< sales pitch > 99% of the time asking if we’d considered using AI to...

Err, no you haven’t. We’re just next up on your list of prospects.

We must see the same opener (or variations thereof) a dozen times per week.

It’s boring.

At this stage we’d be more inclined to respond to:

"Hey! Have no idea what you guys actually do. And haven’t even bothered to look. But here’s what we do..."

Aren't you curious?

What’s the end goal when using AI to cheat an interview?

The telltale signs are obvious 👉 micro pauses before answering a question, responses that are just too polished, conversation that doesn’t flow with a natural cadence (no ums, ers, ahs - i.e. everything you’d expect from normal human dialogue).

OK, let's assume someone, by sheer miracle or screener incompetence, manages to pass this first stage.

How will they navigate the technical assignment? This usually involves not only a solution but a deep dive into the methodology behind it.

Fine, let’s play. Assume they manage to hoodwink their way through that too.

So fast forward to a theoretical but highly improbable first day in the job. They outta there by lunchtime innit?!

Either way, hiring managers are already taking proactive, preventative steps.

And we predict a resurgence of in-person interviews.

Clawdbot is now Moltbot.

Call it anything you want.

Still a bot. Still a security hellscape.

Clawdbot.

Fantastic.

For amplifying your attack surface.

There may be trouble ahead... 🎶
