The Role

As Senior DevOps Engineer you will own the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of our cloud infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform and AWS. You will work across a genuinely varied brief: multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes cluster management, cloud migration, CI/CD, and tackling the kind of legacy tech debt that accumulates in a fast-growing business.

This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape how we build and operate infrastructure at scale. You will work closely with engineering, product, and IT teams, and you will be expected to bring both technical depth and a strong point of view on what good looks like.

You will also be someone who keeps a close eye on how AI is changing the DevOps landscape and brings that thinking into how we work.

Main Responsibilities

Cloud infrastructure and architecture

• Architect and deploy robust, multi-cloud systems across GCP and AWS, ensuring scalability, reliability, and strong performance
• Lead cloud migration projects, including on-premises to cloud transitions, hybrid solutions, and infrastructure automation across multiple sites and providers
• Build infrastructure that scales with rapid business growth, including integrating and automating diverse tech stacks acquired through new market expansion
• Manage Kubernetes clusters, optimising containerised workloads through provider-managed services and continuously improving efficiency and reliability

Engineering standards and practices

• Establish and evolve best practices for CI/CD, infrastructure as code using Terraform, and system performance monitoring
• Lead critical upgrades, patching, and infrastructure clean-up to de-risk legacy systems and strengthen our technical foundation
• Identify, diagnose, and resolve infrastructure challenges proactively and independently
• Keep pace with AI-driven developments and emerging DevOps tooling, bringing relevant innovations into how we operate

Collaboration and stakeholder engagement

• Work closely with engineering, product, and IT teams to align infrastructure goals with business needs
• Communicate clearly about infrastructure decisions, trade-offs, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Contribute to a culture of shared ownership, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence across the team
