use of Generative AI (GenAI). Our state-of-the-art platform turns unstructured data into real-time,
actionable insights, enabling insurance companies to make smarter, faster decisions. As the AI hub
for Applied Systems, we are uniquely positioned at the forefront of the industry, driving significant
advancements and delivering exceptional value to our clients.
Joining Planck means working in a dynamic startup environment while benefiting from the resources
and maturity of a market leader like Applied Systems. We foster an inclusive culture that supports

What are we looking for?
We are looking for a DevOps Team Lead to join our AI revolution! You'll lead a small, senior team and
own the foundation our engineering teams build on. Your team's work will directly impact how fast
and confidently we ship — from architecting resilient cloud infrastructure to getting our next
generation of GenAI agents running in production. You'll stay hands-on while you lead, set the
technical direction for DevOps at Planck, and partner closely with our Platform team and with R&D
leadership across Applied Systems.
There's plenty still to figure out — most of all, how this team plugs into Applied's wider DevOps and
Cloud Engineering organization. You'll have a real say in shaping that.
What will you do?
• Lead and grow a team of DevOps engineers — 1:1s, performance, and career development
• Set the team’s priorities and technical direction, and align them with R&D leadership
• Shape how the team fits into Applied’s DevOps and Cloud Engineering organization - how work
comes in, how priorities get set, and how decisions get made
• Stay hands-on: architect and build cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling
alongside your team
