DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer | Up to £55k | Remote-first (Manchester, 1x monthly meetup)

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a growing tech company, taking ownership of key infrastructure projects and contributing to a strong, collaborative DevOps culture. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on meaningful greenfield initiatives while developing your technical and leadership skills.

A significant part of this role involves rebuilding parts of the infrastructure and migrating from Bitbucket to GitHub. You’ll play a pivotal role in advocating for scalable, repeatable, and secure platform engineering practices, working closely with development, QA, and SRE teams. You’ll get to blend hands-on technical work with opportunities to mentor and guide others, gaining experience in production operations, incident response, Infrastructure as Code, and modern DevOps best practices.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead greenfield infrastructure projects, including Bitbucket to GitHub migration.
• Standardise and optimise CI/CD workflows, bringing automation where it adds value.
• Collaborate across development, QA, and SRE teams to build secure, cost-effective, repeatable systems.
• Mentor junior engineers and share technical expertise across the team.
• Document infrastructure, platform tooling, and CI/CD processes.
• Help ensure lower environments align with production standards.

Skills & Experience We’re Looking For:

• 3–4 years’ experience in DevOps or platform engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway).
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
• Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Understanding of containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid grasp of networking, IAM, and platform security.
• Experience with databases (MySQL, DynamoDB, Snowflake).
• Comfortable scripting in Bash, Python, or Go.
• Collaborative mindset, strong communication, and interest in mentoring and knowledge sharing.

This is a hands-on role with real influence, ideal for someone ready to take ownership of infrastructure projects, work in a collaborative DevOps culture, and grow their leadership capabilities.

Salary: Up to £55k (depending on experience)
