Salary: £90,000 - £110,000 + Benefits
Kubernetes at Scale | Infrastructure Ownership | High-Impact Engineering Environment
We are partnered with an exciting and forward-thinking technology business that is continuing to invest heavily in its engineering capabilities. They are looking for an experienced DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer who wants genuine technical ownership and the opportunity to work on infrastructure that directly supports critical production services.
This is not a traditional DevOps position focused on maintaining legacy environments or simply working through tickets. You'll be given the freedom to build, automate, optimize, and improve production infrastructure, working on technically challenging problems where reliability, scalability, and performance are genuinely important.
You'll take ownership of production Kubernetes environments, developing and scaling platforms while driving improvements across automation, resilience, and observability. You'll also work heavily with Terraform, Ansible, and Linux, helping create highly automated and reliable infrastructure across physical and virtual environments.
