ABOUT LHV
We're building a bank the world actually needs – modern, sharp and genuinely human. We started in Estonia, growing through grit and high standards. Now we're taking on the UK and Europe. The next chapter is about doing the most ambitious work we've ever done, and changing how people experience money.
We run on three values: No Bullshit, Agile, and Never Satisfied. They're not wall art. They're how we make decisions, push each other and show up every day.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
At LHV, we don’t adopt technology just because it’s a trending topic; we build it to deliver practical, secure, and highly reliable financial services. As we make significant, long-term investments in hosting our own custom AI models, we are transitioning from exploratory projects to high-scale, production-ready systems.
You don’t need to be an AI believer—in fact, we highly value a healthy dose of engineering skepticism. Your focus isn't on building models, but keeping them grounded. By designing secure Kubernetes clusters from the ground up, automating with Terraform, and solving the hardware logistics of running large models, you will turn raw technology into secure, enterprise-grade services that actually make sense.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Design, deploy, and manage custom Kubernetes clusters from the ground up on AWS specifically optimized for running our own hosted models
Solve the hardware logistics of running large models, optimizing resource allocation to ensure performant and cost-effective hosting
Build and automate secure CI/CD pipelines to streamline how models and applications are deployed, updated, and queried
Implement strict security and monitoring frameworks to keep our infrastructure tightly locked down and highly reliable
Act as the active technical bridge between the AI development team and LHV's core IT infrastructure department to ensure seamless system integration
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or systems engineering roles
Knowledge of model inference, including serving architectures, deployment strategies, and optimizing latency and throughput at scale
Strong proficiency in Terraform and managing cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes
Practical understanding of hardware configurations and optimizing resource allocation for running heavy workloads
A sensible engineering mindset focused on practical security, cost-efficiency, and system reliability over technology trends
Great communication and critical thinking skills
Proficiency in Estonian language is preferred
Current residency in Estonia, as relocation assistance is not provided for this role
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
Build something that lasts long after you've moved on
Work with ambitious colleagues who value innovation and move fast
Enjoy the freedom to experiment and the ownership to build real impact
Grow professionally and personally through meaningful opportunities
THE FUTURE WE'RE BUILDING
Banking has been ugly, slow and impersonal for too long. We're fixing that with design that respects people's intelligence and technology that actually works for them.
If that sounds like the kind of problem worth working on, let's talk.
