A strong, cloud-native DevOps Engineer who can own delivery pipelines, shape technical decisions and bring mature engineering disciplines to a fast-moving environment. You'll join our team as a full-time, in-office DevOps Engineer responsible for building, maintaining and improving infrastructure, tooling and automation that power various platforms. This role is hands-on and highly collaborative: you'll work closely with developers, architects and product teams to ensure the systems you are working on are reliable, scalable and efficient.
You'll be expected to bring strong knowledge of DevOps best practices, such as:
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation)
- Immutable Infrastructure and automated environment provisioning
- Shift-left test and CI-driven quality gates
- Observability (metrics, logs, tracing)
- Continuous delivery patterns and deployment automation
You'll also be a key contributor in technical architectural discussions; while not an official decision maker, your technical insights will help influence major engineering choices.
What We're Looking For
Essential Skills & Experience
- Cloud native engineering: deep experience with Kubernetes (deployments, operators, networking, Helm, etc), containerisation, and distributed systems.
- CI/CD pipelines: strong hands-on experience with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar platforms; able to design multi-stage pipelines, reusable workflows and secure automation patterns.
- DevOps best practices: configuration management, automated testing, secrets management, environment parity and release automation.
- High-level programming: working knowledge of Python or other similar languages for scripting, automation and tooling.
- Documentation excellence: ability to produce clear professional and maintainable documentation for Infrastructure, processes and completed work.
- Collaboration & Communication: confident contributing to large-scale project discussions offering technical reasoning and challenging assumptions constructively.
- Strong understanding of on-prem/off-prem cloud platforms and modern infrastructure patterns.
Desirable Skills
- Strong Knowledge and Experience with Kubernetes custom-resource-definitions and networking internals.
- Familiarity with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux.
- Knowledge of SRE practices (SLIs, SLOs).
- Experience with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK).
- Exposure to security automation and DevSecOps principles.
- Experience with event-driven architectures or message brokers.
