Bauer Media Group

Our Team: How We Enrich Everyday Life
 You’ll be joining Bauer Media Audio (BMA), Europe’s biggest commercial audio broadcaster, connecting audiences across nine markets to the music, stories and experiences they love. Bauer Media Audio is making a significant investment in a new in‑house software engineering hub in Manchester. This new hub reinforces Manchester’s position as a key technology centre for Bauer Media Audio, alongside its existing locations. We’re creating a new engineering team to build innovative business-critical solutions that will power Bauer Media’s audio platform of the future. Our team is built around squads, each aligned to a distinct value stream, with a layer of cross-squad roles – people whose expertise and support spans the whole team. Each squad will be led by a Product Manager and Lead Engineer, working in partnership and jointly accountable for their squad's work and outcomes. Squads are intentionally small – typically around five to six engineers – keeping them focused, collaborative, and able to move quickly. Our team thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, scalable solutions, working closely with product and technology peers to ensure our platforms meet the evolving needs of the business and our international markets.
 
The Difference You Will Make
 As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in laying the technical foundations of this new engineering team. You’ll lead hands-on development of infrastructure and prototyping work, mentor engineers, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver secure, resilient, and high-performing systems.
 Working closely with your squad, you will ensure the squad's work aligns with our technical direction and product priorities, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, shared ownership, and engineering excellence. You will play a key role in helping to create a diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment that is psychologically safe, where everyone can be their authentic selves and do their best work, every day.
 
Your Role
 
Build and deliver Develop and maintain features and services across the platform, taking end-to-end ownership of your work from design through to deployment. Contribute to early-stage prototyping and infrastructure work, helping to shape the foundations of the platform.
 
Shape technical direction Contribute to architectural decisions within your squad, sharing your experience and perspective to inform technical choices. Collaborate with your Lead Engineer and product colleagues to ensure your work aligns with the squad's technical direction and delivery goals.
 Mentor and support Support the growth of junior engineers through code review, pairing, and knowledge sharing — helping to build a team where everyone improves together. 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. CI/CD, containerisation, and modern DevOps practices applied as part of everyday delivery. Security best practices embedded in day-to-day development. An interest in AI-assisted development tooling and how it can improve productivity and code quality.
 
Collaboration and communication
 
Experience mentoring engineers and supporting their growth, with an awareness of how to adapt your approach to different people and experience levels. Strong communication skills – able to collaborate across disciplines and articulate technical ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues. A habit of documenting decisions and sharing knowledge across the team.
 
Industry and delivery experience
 
Experience working in a product-led, agile software delivery environment. Incident management experience or familiarity with on-call responsibilities. Media, audio streaming, or consumer platform experience is a plus.
 
Working Pattern and Location
 This is a permanent, hybrid, full-time role with an in-office presence twice a week in our Manchester hub. Like all roles in the team, this one includes participation in incident management rotas – we schedule these collaboratively, taking into account everyone's responsibilities and commitments outside of work.
 
Why Join Us?
 
The chance to work in a team building platforms that reach millions of listeners across Europe, with real impact on the products people use every day. A growing engineering organisation investing heavily in its people, practices, and technology – with genuine support for skills development. A collaborative, product-led environment where engineering has a clear and respected voice in shaping business outcomes. An environment that values empathy, accountability, continuous learning, and engineering excellence. #LI-Hybrid

Lead Software Engineer

Hiiya

<div>
 
 Hiiya are hiring
 
 MLOps Engineers in Manchester.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And this is proper AI work not &ldquo;we bought everyone Copilot and now our website says we&rsquo;re AI-first.&rdquo;
 
 
 
 
 
 The company is a specialist MLOps consultancy working with clients to actually build, deploy and productionise machine learning systems.
 
 
 
 
 
 That means projects involving things like:
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Self-hosted LLMs and AI agents
 </li>
 <li>
 RAG systems
 </li>
 <li>
 Computer vision
 </li>
 <li>
 Model training and serving
 </li>
 <li>
 Experiment tracking
 </li>
 <li>
 Kubernetes
 </li>
 <li>
 Cloud infrastructure
 </li>
 <li>
 Open-source MLOps tooling
 </li>
 <li>
 Taking interesting prototypes and making them work properly in the real world
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 They&rsquo;ve worked across everything from startups and major organisations through to public sector and secure government environments.
 
 
 
 
 
 I&rsquo;m recruiting at two levels:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Senior MLOps Engineer | &pound;65k to &pound;80k
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This is primarily a hands-on engineering role.
 
 
 
 
 
 You&rsquo;ll be building production-grade ML systems in Python, deploying them into cloud environments, working with modern DevOps/MLOps tooling and dealing directly with customers.
 
 
 
 
 
 You don&rsquo;t necessarily need &ldquo;MLOps Engineer&rdquo; written on your current job title.
 
 
 
 
 
 You could come from ML Engineering, DevOps, Data Engineering or a similar background, provided you&rsquo;ve actually built and deployed ML software in production.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Lead MLOps Engineer | &pound;80k to &pound;100k
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Still technical &amp; writing code hands on.
 
 
 
 
 
 But you&rsquo;ll also take more ownership of projects, architecture and engineering standards, mentor other engineers, lead delivery and work directly with clients to figure out what they actually need.
 
 
 
 
 
 So they&rsquo;re looking for somebody who can explain a technical decision to an engineer, a customer and potentially somebody who thinks Kubernetes is a fitness class.
 
 
 
 
 
 The wider environment is very engineering-led, they like open source &amp; they invest time into R&amp;D.
 
 
 
 
 
 They actively encourage engineers to experiment with new tools rather than waiting three years for Gartner to tell them it&rsquo;s safe.
 
 
 
 
 
 And some of the stuff they&rsquo;re building is genuinely interesting.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Important logistical bit before 400 people message me asking if it&rsquo;s remote:
 
 
 
 📍 Central Manchester
 
 
 🏢 Hybrid - 3 days per week in the office
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The three office days are fixed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 There&rsquo;s also an important eligibility requirement.
 
 
 
 
 
 Some projects require UK Government
 
 SC security clearance
 
 , so you
 
 must have been continuously resident in the UK for at least the last 5 years
 
 .
 
 
 
 
 
 Unfortunately, that bit isn&rsquo;t negotiable either.
 
 
 
 
 
 If you&rsquo;re an ML Engineer, MLOps Engineer or DevOps-minded engineer who wants to spend more of your time building actual AI systems rather than putting &ldquo;AI enthusiast&rdquo; in your LinkedIn headline, what are you waiting for?

You&rsquo;ll work in the Agent Safety/Evals team, a new sub-team within AI Foundations. We build the shared platforms, harnesses, and guardrails that enable engineering and product teams to safely, reliably, and deterministically use machine learning and generative AI agents for internal systems and workflows across the business. This is a delivery-focused team that sits at the intersection of engineering and delivery, focusing on empowering our internal users.
The Role
We&rsquo;re hiring a Lead Software Engineer to head our newly formed Agent Safety/Evals team. As AI agents take on more autonomous tasks across Kraken's internal workflows, this role is critical to ensuring they do so securely and predictably.
This is a leadership role focused on constraining our internally facing AI agents to an expected operation space and guaranteeing system reliability.
You will define the technical strategy for how we evaluate models, enforce safety guardrails, and govern AI behavior across internal platforms, skills, and harnesses. You&rsquo;ll work closely with the broader AI Foundations team and engineers across Kraken to ensure that our push for rapid AI adoption in internal tooling never compromises on security, determinism, or quality.
What you'll own<ul><li>
Lead the technical direction for internal agent safety: Design and implement systems focused on the reliability, security, and determinism of LLMs and autonomous agents, constraining them strictly to expected operational spaces within our internal ecosystems.</li><li>
Build robust evaluation frameworks: Develop scalable harnesses and evals tailored to internal workflows and skills. You will be responsible for asking the right types of questions about the quality and reproducibility of our evals, while engineering the systems to measure them robustly.</li><li>
Implement guardrails and governance: Create and enforce pre- and post-generation guardrails, managing the overarching governance of AI models operating within internal tools and platforms.</li><li>
Drive AI security and observability: Build out dedicated auth/permissions for internal AI agents, establish deep monitoring/observability pipelines, and define incident response protocols for AI-specific anomalies.</li><li>
Verification and Red Teaming: Lead continuous verification efforts and red teaming exercises to proactively identify vulnerabilities, prompt injections, or unpredictable behaviours in our internal AI implementations.</li><li>
Operate in AWS: Deploy, run, and support high-throughput, low-latency safety services for internal use cases; make sensible architecture/cost tradeoffs; partner effectively with platform/techops/security stakeholders.</li></ul>
 What you bring to the party<ul><li>
Strong technical leadership: Proven experience leading technical initiatives or teams, capable of setting the technical vision for complex, ambiguous domains.</li><li>
Deep software engineering fundamentals: Senior/advanced capability in designing secure components end-to-end, testing thoroughly, and reasoning heavily about system design, concurrency, and architecture tradeoffs. (Python preferred).</li><li>
Expertise in AI Evaluation and Safety: A highly critical thinker who understands the nuances of LLM behavior. You must be comfortable interrogating the quality of AI outputs and deeply experienced in building harnesses to measure it reproducibly.</li><li>
Security and Governance mindset: Experience with threat modeling, authentication, red teaming, or building guardrails for internal systems, tooling, or platforms.</li><li>
Cloud experience (AWS): Comfortable running internal services, owning reliability/scalability, and collaborating with platform/techops/security partners.</li><li>
Excellent communication: Able to synthesize complex safety and eval metrics into actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.</li></ul>
What Success Looks Like<ul><li>
Confidence in Internal Tooling: Engineers across Kraken can deploy new autonomous models, AI skills, and internal agents with total confidence, knowing they are bound by reliable safety guardrails and strict operational constraints within our internal ecosystems.</li><li>
High-Quality Internal Evals: You have established a culture and infrastructure of robust, highly reproducible evaluation metrics that accurately reflect the real-world performance and safety of our internal-facing AI tooling and harnesses.</li><li>
Resilient Internal Infrastructure: AI security, monitoring, and incident response are treated as first-class citizens, ensuring that any erratic agent behavior in our internal platforms is immediately caught and mitigated before it affects broader operations.</li><li>
Technical Leadership: Strong collaboration across AI Foundations helps accelerate secure internal AI adoption; you are actively mentoring engineers and shaping the company's internal AI governance strategy.</li></ul>
️ Bonus points
<ul><li>Experience with specific LLM evaluation and safety frameworks (e.g., Inspect AI, Ragas, OpenAI Evals, NeMo Guardrails).</li><li>
Django experience and strong backend engineering patterns (security, performance, maintainability).</li><li>
Experience with Datadog for complex observability, tracing, and monitoring in AI environments.</li><li>
Familiarity with foundational AI engineering tooling like Pydantic AI, LiteLLM, or LangChain.</li></ul>
