DevOps Engineer
Location: Remote (UK-based preferred) with occasional international travel.
A new client for us who are really cool, they’re a specialist security software business building high-performance video management and monitoring platforms used in demanding, real-time environments worldwide. Their systems operate in critical and security-sensitive settings, where reliability, resilience, and performance are non-negotiable. They’re a small, highly capable engineering team working on complex, mission-critical software. As they continue to scale, they’re looking for a hands‑on DevOps Engineer to help strengthen their infrastructure, streamline deployments, and support global implementations.
You will play a key role in owning and improving their deployment and infrastructure landscape as well as:
- Design, manage, and optimise Docker-based deployments
- Maintain and monitor virtualised environments
- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines and GitHub workflows
- Implement monitoring, alerting, and error‑tracking tools
- Support deployments of modular software platforms
- Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, and performance issues
- Work closely with software engineers to improve reliability, security, and performance
- Support on‑site installations and system commissioning when required
- Create and maintain clear technical documentation for internal use
- Develop and evolve automation roadmaps for DevOps and deployment processes
Travel Requirements: This is a remote‑first role; however occasional international travel will be required to support customer deployments and system installations. A valid passport is essential.
