About the role

Linkup is the web search engine built for AI. Our infrastructure crawls, indexes and serves the live web to AI agents, and it’s scaling fast.

We’re looking for a top‑tier DevOps Engineer to join Linkup and work hand‑in‑hand with our CTO, Denis Charrier, and the rest of the tech team.

Your core responsibilities will be to:

Build and operate large-scale, distributed systems powering AI-ready web search

Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure for indexing, retrieval, and monitoring

Automate deployment, scaling, and observability across all environments

Optimize performance, scalability, and resource usage across our stack

Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to system design

Collaborate with ML and backend teams to streamline CI/CD and model deployment workflows

Write clean, maintainable infrastructure code and participate in reviews

Requirements

You’re a great match if you:

Are excited to help build Google for AI agents- and believe in Linkup’s mission

Have strong experience with cloud infrastructure (preferably on GCP or Azure) and container orchestration (Kubernetes) (2y minimum)

Understand distributed systems, networking, and infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform)

Care about performance, reliability, and system observability

Enjoy debugging tough production issues and optimizing infrastructure bottlenecks

Are curious about AI infrastructure, data pipelines, and large-scale retrieval systems

Thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership startup environment

Example Projects

Deploy and scale clusters indexing hundreds of millions of pages daily with < 5 min freshness

Set up auto-scaling pipelines to stream 1 B embeddings/day while minimizing compute costs

Build robust observability and alerting systems for real-time search and ranking performance

Automate retraining workflows for models running on GPU clusters

Reduce deployment times and costs through improved CI/CD pipelines and caching layers

Our Stack

Kubernetes (GKE / AKS), Terraform, Helm, Argo CD, GCP, Apache Storm, vLLM, NATS, Redis, PostgreSQL, Datadog

About Linkup

Our Vision

We believe in a future of AI agents and the agentic web. These digital entities can create more value for humanity than we ever could alone, but they depend on the internet to operate, collaborate, take action, and gather information.

AI agents need web search. To perform well, they require information that is current, reliable, and context‑specific—not the diffuse, steadily aging knowledge frozen at their last training cut‑off.

Modern web search is built for humans, not AIs. Instead of trusted facts, it serves links, ads, and click‑bait. People want visually engaging pages; AI systems need structured truth. An AI can absorb oceans of data, while human attention barely skims the surface. Humans think visually and intuitively; AI reasons in latent space.

Web 2.0 is sunsetting. The deck is being reshuffled, and the Bing‑Google search oligopoly is crumbling. Indexing ever more pages is no longer the goal; semantically organizing facts for AI systems is. In the coming agentic web, Google’s ad‑driven model has no natural home.

Search for AI must be rebuilt from the ground up. We are reconstructing the web as a rigorously structured knowledge layer, mapping every concept, entity, and claim into a coherent semantic graph. This foundation delivers verified facts and rich context to AI instantly, unlocking faster reasoning, higher accuracy, and radically more useful answers for everyone.

Humans search Google; AI searches Linkup.

Our Mission

Reality never stands still, and neither should intelligence. Linkup reconnects language models to a living stream of verified facts, ensuring AIs remain as current and insightful as the world they serve.
