Join us as a DevOps Engineer, Network Automation
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our Network Automation team, helping design, build and operate automation capabilities that make network and infrastructure services faster, safer and more reliable.
You’ll work across automation, infrastructure-as-code and network-as-code practices, supporting secure, compliant and auditable change within a highly regulated financial services environment.
This is your opportunity to deepen your expertise across modern automation, cloud-native platforms and AI-enabled engineering while working on business-critical infrastructure.
What you'll do
As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll help develop and enhance automation patterns, pipelines and tools that support network and infrastructure services from concept through to operational support. Working closely with engineers, platform teams and service owners, you’ll build reusable automation, improve delivery efficiency and embed DevOps best practice across the engineering lifecycle.
You’ll also be:
- Designing, building and maintaining network and infrastructure automation using modern DevOps practices
- Delivering automation through code-based CI/CD pipelines, with GitLab experience helping you hit the ground running
- Applying infrastructure-as-code and network-as-code principles to create repeatable, controlled and auditable delivery patterns
- Embedding security, compliance and risk controls into automation and pipeline design
- Supporting automated change, incident and operational workflows, including ServiceNow integration where appropriate
- Working with container platforms such as OpenShift or Kubernetes to support automation services and workloads
- Exploring practical uses of AI-enabled tooling and workflows to improve operational efficiency, engineering productivity and service reliability
