DevOps Manager

📍UK – Remote (occasional travel to Surrey or Manchester)

A fast-growing AI-driven SaaS company is scaling its platform for enterprise customers and is looking for a hands‑on Dev Ops Lead to take ownership of cloud infrastructure, reliability, and operational maturity.

This is a delivery‑led leadership role, ideal for a Lead or Principal Dev Ops Engineer who wants real ownership and influence while remaining close to the tech.

• Owning a serverless‑first AWS environment (Lambda, API Gateway, event‑driven architecture)
• Leading and mentoring a small Dev Ops/SRE team (2 engineers)
• Improving observability and APM maturity (Grafana, modern monitoring stacks)
• Supporting an API‑first modernisation strategy for enterprise customers
• Driving Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
• Partnering closely with Engineering teams embedded in sprint delivery
• Maintaining and improving compliance across PCI‑DSS & ISO 27001 (with SOC2 / NIS2 on the horizon)
• Bringing pragmatic ideas, challenging the status quo, and helping Dev Ops mature across the organisation

• Strong hands‑on experience in Dev Ops / Platform / SRE roles
• Deep AWS experience, especially serverless and cloud‑native architectures
• Solid IaC experience (Terraform ideal)
• Experience working in compliance‑heavy environments (PCI‑DSS & ISO
  27001)
• Comfortable influencing through technical credibility rather than hierarchy
• Curious and open‑minded about AI in modern software delivery
• Some leadership experience is useful — years of people management are not required

• Modern, complex platform (not legacy infra)
• Real ownership and autonomy
• AI embedded into both product and engineering workflows
• Remote‑first, flexible working
• Join at a pivotal point as the business scales towards enterprise
