DevOps Engineer (B2B collaboration) - London
DevOps Engineer – Core Infrastructure Platform Remote-First, US Client Collaboration (On-Site: 10 days/month in London)
Join Space Inch, the long-standing partner of a leading US asset management firm, to shape and architect the future of their modern DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering ecosystem.
About This Role
This isn’t just operations—it’s infrastructure innovation. You’ll proactively build, evolve, and scale a self-service observability-driven platform that empowers application teams to deploy safely, without duplicating deployments, security, or observability across thousands of services. The opportunity is greenfield, granting deep influence over the platform’s design and evolution for years to come.
Ideal for engineers who:
- Own infrastructure others rely on
- thrive in cross-team debates over system architecture
- get excited by testing hypotheses rather than following rigid runbooks
Key Responsibilities
Summarized as "Infrastructure as the Backbone of High-Velocity Deployment"—advocate at scale:
-
CI/CD & Deployments Design, refine, and secure the full-trust CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) for a global 1000+ service footprint, optimizing for: ✔ Rapid iteration without tech debt ✔ Effortless compliance (DataDog, compliance stacks) ✔ Security at every stage (image scanning, signing, etc.)
-
Kubernetes & Multi-Environment Ownership Manage production-grade clusters (EKS, multi-region), governed by: ✔ ArgoCD/Flux (GitOps pause integration) ✔ Dynamic sizing based on DataDog SLOs ✔ Zero-entry Ubuntu-based clusters for low-touch deployments
-
Platform Engineering Weaponize modularity via: ✔ Terraform anti-pattern archives ✔ Core Helm chart templates (70/30 template reuse freedom) ✔ Ansible for bootstrap/pre-deployment creators
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
-
Self-Service Enablement Reduce friction for engineering teams deploying lingering monoliths: • Standardized workflows (Mixpanel, Kubernetes CRDs) • CI-friendly workflows for sales-facing tools (pg, Redis) • Guardrail API (run everything, flag compliance failures)
-
Cloud Ownership (Azure Shift) Navigate multi-cloud while driving daemonizing Azure:
- Migration design (legacy RC vendor lock-ins → future state)
- Cost optimization (JSON logs → consumption partner)
- Partner escalation for WAF L3, CosmosDB functions
Requirements

| Tooling Relevance | Redesigns—self-assess, rearrange Terraform, compose migration cut-through Fleets. |
| Soft Skills may qualify | Greetings before breaking the github convention are mandatory. |
Sandbox Existence Requirement
- 4+ years demonstrating infrastructure automation that letting lower-rung users wear carpet-sweeper helmets.
- Proven greenfield platform architecture, not just an extension to an existing stack.
- Autonomy in Risk—Approved of Kubernetes upgrades after making it as hands-off as possible.
