Remotestar: DevOps & QA Automation Engineer; Remote

Headquarters: Cambourne, United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland

We are looking for a Dev Ops & QA Automation Engineer to join our team during a pivotal architectural transformation. You will be directly responsible for building and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, integrating automated testing and validation, and driving best practices in release governance and infrastructure automation. As we migrate from a fragmented set of tools to a productised platform, your work will enable high‑confidence deployments, reduce risk, and ensure engineering discipline during rapid change.

This is a hands‑on role requiring initiative, attention to detail, and comfort working across build systems, cloud infrastructure, and test environments. This role is best suited to an engineer (3–5 years’ experience) with a strong foundation in Dev Ops and a genuine interest in embedding quality throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

• Designing and owning end‑to‑end CI/CD workflows using Git Hub Actions
• Integrating and maintaining test automation into pipelines (unit, integration, system checks)
• Supporting the engineering team to create unit tests, enforce test coverage, quality gates, and release readiness
• Implementing environment provisioning, config‑as‑code, and infrastructure automation
• Working with data and software teams to support secure, reproducible deployments of services and pipelines
• Collaborating on the re‑architecture initiative by helping define pipeline governance, release controls, and rollout safety mechanisms
• Supporting the evolution of infrastructure and test‑related standards and documentation
• Participating in team ceremonies, reviews, and ongoing cross‑functional collaboration

• Prior work in an early‑stage or growth‑stage startup environment
• 3–5 years’ experience in Dev Ops, QA automation, or platform engineering
• Deep experience with CI/CD tooling – ideally Git Hub Actions
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go for automation scripting
• Experience with infrastructure as code – SAM, AWS CDK
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks (pytest, unittest, etc.)
• Understanding of modern software delivery workflows and testing strategies
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS preferred), including basic IAM, S3, and EC2
• Knowledge of containerisation and orchestration (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with relational databases and test data handling (we use AWS RDS/MySQL)
• Dashboarding and monitoring with AWS platform and tools
• A pragmatic, reliability‑focused mindset, with high attention to detail

• Experience embedding quality assurance into pipelines (test coverage enforcement, flaky test detection, etc.)
• Mobile app automated test technologies, particularly Android Java
• Familiarity with system monitoring and alerting tooling
• Exposure to data pipelines or scientific computing environments
• Previous involvement in platform re‑architecture or CI/CD transformation projects
• Experience building release governance or audit mechanisms
• Prior work in an early‑stage or growth‑stage startup environments
