Belfast - Hybrid
Eligibility to obtain UK SC clearance (residency and nationality requirements apply).
Ocho are recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing technology company based in Belfast, operating in high-assurance and regulated environments. The business is scaling quickly and the infrastructure team sits at the heart of how its platform is built, secured, and delivered.
This is a hands-on platform engineering role for someone who wants real ownership. You will work across connected and disconnected environments, with a particular focus on Kubernetes and secure-by-design infrastructure. If you want to do meaningful work on infrastructure that genuinely matters, this is the role.
What you will own
- Deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters across connected and air-gapped environments, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines designed to function in constrained and disconnected environments.
- Own infrastructure as code across the estate, keeping environments reproducible, auditable, and well documented.
- Monitor and improve platform reliability, identifying and resolving issues before they become incidents.
- Contribute to security hardening, access controls, and compliance evidence across the infrastructure estate.
- Work closely with engineering teams to support deployments into regulated and high-assurance environments.
- Support the broader team with tooling, automation, and platform guidance.
