Senior DevOps Engineer
📍 London
💰 £150,000 - £200,000 Base + Bonus + Equity
We're partnered with a technology company building high-performance infrastructure for decentralized financial markets.
They're seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to help improve the infrastructure, tooling, and processes that support their production systems and engineering team.
The role covers CI/CD, infrastructure automation, observability, deployment tooling, and production reliability, alongside lower-level work with Linux systems, networking, and infrastructure performance.
The platform is still developing, so there is plenty of scope to improve existing tooling and processes, introduce better automation, and influence how the engineering team operates.
Responsibilities
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and deployment workflows.
- Automate infrastructure and operational processes.
- Improve the reliability and operability of production systems.
- Build and improve monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards, and alerting.
- Improve incident diagnosis and root cause analysis.
- Develop internal tooling that reduces repetitive work across engineering.
- Improve the developer experience from local development through to production.
- Work with Linux systems, networking, host configuration, and resource contention.
- Contribute to infrastructure security, access controls, secrets management, and system hardening.
- Identify reliability, performance, and operational issues and drive improvements.
