Help us deliver like never before  

We’re hiring a DevOps Engineer to play a key role in ensuring our application platforms are reliable, secure, and consistently available. In this hands-on role, you’ll build and manage end‑to‑end application infrastructure from installation and configuration through to ongoing monitoring and maintenance providing stable, well‑governed environments that enable smooth delivery across the application lifecycle.

You’ll own defined technical outcomes, contribute to continuous improvement, and support development teams by troubleshooting complex issues across build, deployment, and production. With a strong customer focus and attention to detail, you’ll help maintain operational excellence, minimise service disruption, and keep critical systems performing at their best.

You'll also own the delivery of defined technical outcomes, including minor works, estimates, design activities, and systems development tasks executed to agreed time, budget, quality, and standards. 

This is a great opportunity to join a high‑impact DevOps team where you’ll help ensure reliable, secure platforms and drive continuous improvement across critical systems.

What you’ll deliver with us

  • Automate repetitive tasks to maintain a secure, up-to-date operational environment
  • Act as an enabler for software and operations teams by integrating modern tools, best practices, and techniques
  • Contribute to securing infrastructure to protect organisational data and operations from malicious or inadvertent harm
  • Collaborate with architects to ensure software delivery meets the highest standards and recommend technology stacks aligned with business goals
  • Design and implement optimal CI/CD environments and methodologies for assigned product verticals


About you  

You’re a passionate DevOps engineer with strong experience across automation tools like Terraform, Jenkins, GitLab, Bitbucket, Ansible and more. You bring deep AWS expertise from CloudFormation and CDK to ECS, Lambda, EC2, and CodePipeline and confidently build CI/CD pipelines and containerised solutions using Docker, Fargate, Kubernetes and EKS. You’re skilled in scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell, TypeScript, etc.), familiar with PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL, and have proven capability in GCP with bonus exposure to Azure. With strong communication and mentoring skills, you uplift teams and collaborate effectively across engineering, architecture, and security.
