A new client for us who are really cool, they’re a specialist security software business building high-performance video management and monitoring platforms used in demanding, real-time environments worldwide. Their systems operate in critical and security-sensitive settings, where reliability, resilience, and performance are non-negotiable.

They’re a small, highly capable engineering team working on complex, mission-critical software. As they continue to scale, they’re looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to help strengthen their infrastructure, streamline deployments, and support global implementations.

• Maintain and monitor virtualised environments
• Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines and GitHub workflows
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and error-tracking tools
• Support deployments of modular software platforms
• Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, and performance issues
• Work closely with software engineers to improve reliability, security, and performance
• Support on-site installations and system commissioning when required
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation for internal use
• Develop and evolve automation roadmaps for DevOps and deployment processes

Travel Requirements: This is a remote-first role, however occasional international travel will be required to support customer deployments and system installations. A valid passport is essential.

• Server hardware and GPU usage for compute or media-heavy workloads
• Issue and project tracking tools (e.g. Jira or equivalent)

• Infrastructure-as-Code concepts and tooling
• Video streaming or video management systems
• CCTV or surveillance deployments
• Networking fundamentals (VPNs, firewalls, routing)
• Messaging technologies (e.g. MQTT or similar)
• Strong analytical skills and ability to work autonomously
• Comfortable working directly with clients, integrators, and project stakeholders

• Back end: TypeScript (Node.js), Golang
• Front end: React
• Virtualisation: Proxmox
• Containers: Docker, Kubernetes
• CI/CD & Source Control: GitHub / GitHub Actions
• Monitoring: Runtime monitoring and error tracking tools
• Project Management: Jira
• Operating Systems: Linux

• Work on next-generation security software used globally
• Remote-first role with opportunities to travel to unique deployment sites
• High level of technical ownership and influence
• Collaborative, focused, and experienced engineering team
• Competitive salary with growth opportunities in a scaling business
