Are you a Cloud & DevOps Engineer who really enjoys working with Kubernetes and modern cloud platforms, not just maintaining them, but actually improving how things are built and delivered? If so, this could be right up your street. I’m working with a well‑established UK business that is going through a major cloud and platform transformation. They’re heavily investing in their tech function and building out a modern, Azure‑first environment that underpins everything from customer applications to internal systems. It’s one of those roles where there’s genuinely a lot going on, in a good way.
Responsibilities
- You’ll play a key role in building and evolving their cloud platform.
- Day to day, that could mean improving Azure infrastructure, working hands‑on with Kubernetes (AKS), and helping shape their Infrastructure as Code approach.
- There’s also a big focus on refining CI/CD pipelines and making deployments smoother and safer for engineering teams.
- A big part of the role is collaboration: you’ll be working closely with Dev, QA and Product, helping teams release software reliably while pushing forward monitoring, observability and overall platform resilience.
Technical Focus
- It’s an Azure‑first setup, but they’re open to people who’ve worked across AWS or GCP too.
- The priority is solid, hands‑on experience with Kubernetes.
- Experience with Docker, Terraform (or similar IaC tools), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud networking will all come into play.
- Exposure to Helm, service mesh (Istio), Kubernetes networking or cluster optimisation is a big plus.
Culture
They’re a truly collaborative, low‑ego environment. They’re looking for someone who communicates well, takes ownership, and enjoys helping others improve.
Benefits
- Hybrid working setup
- Annual bonus
- Support for learning and certifications
- A chance to work with modern tooling the business actively invests in
- There’s also a strong long‑term roadmap of projects, so you’re not walking into a stalling role.
- This work is ongoing, evolving, where you can make a real impact.
