Job Description
About the Role
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our technology team. Reporting to the Technical Lead DevOps, you will play a key role in delivering, managing and continuously improving the cloud-based platforms and services that support our organisation's cloud-first strategy. As a technical specialist, you will work closely with senior colleagues to design, implement and maintain secure, resilient and scalable cloud solutions. You will be responsible for ensuring that services are delivered to agreed standards and service levels while supporting the adoption of modern DevOps practices across the organisation.
The role offers the opportunity to influence the strategic direction of our cloud and DevOps capabilities, helping to shape technical standards, improve processes and introduce innovative solutions. You will be involved in the implementation, deployment and integration of new technologies, ensuring successful delivery and ongoing operational excellence.
A key part of the role will be maintaining and enhancing cloud platforms through automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling greater efficiency, consistency and reliability across environments. You will ensure effective monitoring, alerting, security controls and governance processes are in place to support safe and secure operations.
You will also contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning, identify opportunities to modernise and optimise technology services, and collaborate with suppliers, stakeholders and third-party partners to ensure services are delivered effectively and contractual commitments are met.
As part of a regulated and security-conscious environment, you will help ensure systems remain compliant with organisational security policies, industry standards and controls, including patch management, governance requirements and ongoing assurance activities. You will also support risk management activities, promote a culture of continuous improvement and occasionally provide out-of-hours support when required.
