Our founding team is composed of world-class researchers from Google DeepMind and University of Cambridge, having co-developed AlphaTensor, FunSearch, and Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold. At Hiverge, you will be working with the brightest minds in AI, algorithms, and mathematics. If you’re passionate about AI and eager to shape transformative technologies, we’d love to hear from you. ## About this role We are seeking a skilled Platform Engineer to join our team. You will play a key role in designing, deploying, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, security and cost-efficiency of our AI workloads. You will: - Design, implement, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure on major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc). - Design and implement security best practices and infrastructure hardening for all cloud deployments. - Deploy and operate AI agents at scale, ensuring high availability and robust performance. - Implement monitoring, logging, and observability solutions to enhance system visibility. - Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to align infrastructure with business needs. - Take ownership of meeting defined SLOs, including participating in on-call rotations. ## Qualifications - 5+ years of experience working with cloud infrastructure in a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure). - Experience with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) in a production environment (Terraform, Helm etc). - Deep understanding of cloud security best practices. - Experience with Kubernetes. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience. What sets you apart - Familiarity with security frameworks and compliance standards such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. - Experience with large-scale AI / ML workloads (particularly using GPUs). - Familiarity with AI agents or LLM-based systems, especially LLM inference systems. - Experience with Golang and Python. - Open-source contributions or active community involvement is highly valued. We offer competitive compensation, generous benefits packages, and offer a stimulating work environment, with the opportunity to contribute to the future of generative AI. ## About Hiverge Ltd ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Hiverge builds an AI discovery engine that automatically writes breakthrough algorithms for the world’s most critical optimisation problems. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: Cambridge, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Alhussein Fawzi (CEO), Hamza Fawzi (Chief Scientist), Bernardino Romera Paredes (CTO) – all former Google DeepMind and University of Cambridge researchers. ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: AI-driven algorithmic discovery / program synthesis / optimisation software - **Target customers**: B2B – enterprises with complex planning, resource allocation, supply chain, and AI training optimisation challenges (e.g., Airbus) - **Mission**: “Algorithmic superintelligence – an AI discovery engine that writes breakthrough code and algorithms, empowering every company with superhuman algorithms that drastically optimize their operations.” ## Products & Services - **[The Hive](https://www.hiverge.ai)**: A platform that deploys multiple AI agents to automatically discover and write algorithms tailored to a user’s specific problem. Combines language models with advanced program synthesis techniques (e.g., AlphaTensor, FunSearch). Delivers optimised code for tasks such as sequential planning, machine learning training acceleration, and combinatorial optimisation. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $5.0M (Seed round, announced October 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investor: Flying Fish Partners. Also Ahren Innovation Capital, 10x Founders, Alpha Intelligence Capital, 1st Kind, StemAI, Vela Partners, Cur8 Capital, and **Jeff Dean** (Google DeepMind/Senior Fellow). Strategic partner: Airbus (won the Airbus Beluga scalability challenge). - **Growth Signals**: - 12 employees (as of mid-2026) with team members from Google DeepMind, University of Cambridge, Monash University, and others. - Proven results: discovered algorithms that beat state-of-the-art on Airbus planning problems (1,000× faster), CIFAR-10 training (20% speedup), and GPT-2 training (1.25% improvement). - Early access program for selected customers; waitlist open. ## Competitive Advantages - **Founding team pedigree**: Co-developers of AlphaTensor, FunSearch, and early stages of AlphaEvolve – world-class algorithmic discovery research. - **Proven, measurable results**: Demonstrated speedups on real industrial and ML benchmarks (Airbus, CIFAR-10, GPT-2) without domain-specific hints. - **Unique approach**: Combines LLMs with advanced search and program synthesis, not just generic AI fine-tuning; algorithms are tailored per customer. - **Backing by Jeff Dean** and top AI venture funds signals strong credibility. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling the Hive platform to more customer verticals (supply chain, AI training, robotics, aerospace). Building out the team of researchers and engineers. Moving from early access to broader commercial availability. - **Direction**: “Algorithmic superintelligence” – fully autonomous discovery of novel, high-performance algorithms across industries. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Research-intensive, deeply technical environment with roots in world-class AI research. Emphasis on rigorous methodology and real-world impact. - **Work policy**: In-office (Cambridge, UK). All current job postings specify on-site work. - **Team size**: Small (~12 people) – opportunity for high ownership and influence. - **Notable perks**: Work alongside former DeepMind/Cambridge researchers; early-stage equity; chance to shape a company from the ground up. - **Engineering culture**: Focus on program synthesis, distributed systems (Kubernetes, MLflow, Postgres), and cutting-edge AI. Open to researchers and platform/product engineers. ## Sources 1. [hiverge.ai](https://hiverge.ai/) – Official website 2.
