DevOps Engineer

We're hiring a DevOps Engineer to help build, operate, and evolve the platform that powers Rhino's engineering organisation. That covers cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and the observability that keeps our products reliable for millions of players across regulated markets.

You'll report to the Head of IT & Security and work closely with engineering, product, and security teams. It's a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll make infrastructure decisions that shape how we ship software, improve developer experience, and strengthen our security posture. We're looking for someone who takes initiative, gets stuck into long-standing problems, and builds systems that other engineers actually want to use.

• Own and evolve internal developer tooling (CLI, scaffolding, deployment sandboxes)
• Iterate on and maintain local development environments so the team can work without friction
• Document CI/CD and release workflows so the team can self-serve
• Reduce technical debt through automation, refactoring, and better abstractions

• Advocate for secure defaults, infrastructure hardening, and audit-ready configurations
• Contribute to threat modelling, secure design reviews, and infrastructure risk assessments
• Support automated security scanning, vulnerability detection, and policy enforcement tools
• Make sure all work includes proper testing, logging, and monitoring before it ships

Collaboration, Mentorship & Continuous Improvement (15%)

• Mentor junior engineers and onboard new team members onto the platform tooling
• Contribute to branching strategies, release planning, and architectural decision logs
• Engage third-party vendors to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues
• Actively participate in retrospectives, planning, and refinement sessions
• Take initiative on long-standing technical issues and share findings with the team
