Role: Lead DevOps Engineer
Client: FinTech
Salary: £130k + Bonus/Benefits
Location: London
Our client's iOS Development function is scaling fast — multiple teams shipping high-impact features for customers worldwide — and we're looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to bring order, speed, and world-class quality to how it all ships.
This is a genuine hybrid role: hands-on DevOps engineering + people leadership. You'll consolidate CI pipelines, streamline deployment processes, and lead a high-performing team while staying close to the tech yourself.
What you'll be doing:
- Automation — researching and building solutions aligned with modern DevOps best practice
- Operations — streamlining tooling, processes and infrastructure for a smooth developer experience
- Service reliability — instrumenting monitoring across on-prem hardware, keeping systems humming, and partnering closely with developers when things need troubleshooting
- Technical leadership — setting the strategic direction for iOS DevOps: scaling, efficiency, security
- People management — 1:1s, coaching, performance management, keeping your team motivated and focused on what matters most
