The headline

If you enjoy building systems that don’t fall over, this will get your attention.

This is a role for someone who likes things to be repeatable, observable, automated, and boring in production. Not because the work is boring — but because reliability matters when systems run continuously and at scale.

Why you’d want this

You’ll work on infrastructure that underpins real-time, regulated platforms, where uptime, latency, and correctness actually matter.

You’ll get:

• Ownership, not tickets — you’ll shape how things are built, not just maintain what exists

• Automation first, across cloud and on-prem

• Time to do things properly, not rushed fixes

• Direct access to decision-makers, not layers of approval

• A team that values clear thinking over noise

You’ll spend your time improving systems that already work — making them more resilient, more scalable, and easier to operate.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll sit inside a small DevOps function working closely with engineers who build and run production systems.

Day-to-day, you’ll:

• Build and evolve multi-account cloud infrastructure using Terraform

• Automate environments across cloud and on-prem with Python, Ansible, and Bash

• Improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and release reliability

• Work alongside engineers to productionise new tooling and platforms

• Support Linux environments running at scale

• Plan capacity across Dev, QA, Test, and Production

• Keep documentation clear, current, and genuinely useful

This is hands‑on work, close to the metal when needed, and strategic when it counts.

What you’ll need

You’ll probably recognise yourself in most of this:

• Strong experience running hybrid cloud environments (AWS and/or GCP)

• Deep DevOps experience: automation, CI/CD, monitoring, deployments

• Solid Linux background (RHEL/CentOS or similar)

• Real Infrastructure‑as‑Code experience (Terraform is key)

• Comfort with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/ECR)

• Good grasp of networking fundamentals — you know how things actually move

• Clear communication — you can explain trade‑offs without hand‑wav­ing

If you’ve worked in environments where reliability genuinely matters, you’ll feel at home here.
