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.

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.

You’ll sit inside a small Dev Ops 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 product ionise 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.

You’ll probably recognise yourself in most of this:

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

• Deep Dev Ops 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.
