Job Description:

We are excited to be working with a fast-growing, product-led startup. Built on fairness, transparency, and a strong customer-first ethos, they’ve already gained serious traction and are now entering a key scaling phase.

The business operates a high-traffic digital marketplace and is moving from a founder-led, hands-on engineering approach to a more structured, scalable infrastructure setup. This is a chance to join at a pivotal moment where you can genuinely shape how things are built, run, and improved.

About the Role

This is a hands-on DevOps / Platform Engineering role focused on reliability, performance, and continuous improvement of a live production system.

You’ll work closely with engineers and leadership to take ownership of infrastructure and operations, helping move from reactive processes to a more robust, scalable, and automated environment. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, solving real-world problems, and building best practices from the ground up rather than inheriting rigid processes.

Responsibilities

  • Own day-to-day platform reliability, performance, and monitoring
  • Act as the first point of contact for production issues and incident response
  • Improve system performance, stability, and scalability through proactive changes
  • Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability tools
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and release processes
  • Manage cloud infrastructure (AWS) and production environments
  • Identify opportunities for automation and reduce manual operational work
  • Work closely with engineers to ensure smooth rollouts and fast feedback loops
  • Contribute to incident reviews and continuous improvement practices
  • Support integrations, partners, and external data sources where needed|

Why it’s exciting

  • You’ll have real ownership, not just maintaining systems, but shaping them
  • Join at a stage where your impact is visible and immediate
  • Work directly with senior stakeholders and influence technical direction
  • Move a growing platform from “startup mode” to scalable, reliable infrastructure
  • No heavy bureaucracy just smart people solving meaningful problems
  • A chance to step into what might traditionally be an “SRE” space without the corporate overhead or rigid definitions

Details

  • Salary: £50,000
  • Location: UK-based (Remote)
  • Tech: AWS, Linux, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, modern web/mobile stack
  • Experience: Background in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or similar roles

Whether you come from a DevOps, Platform, or SRE background, if you enjoy building reliable systems, taking ownership, and working in a fast-moving environment, we’d love to hear from you.
