The Role
We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to own our CI/CD platform and developer experience. You'll be the person who makes shipping software fast, safe, and enjoyable, building the foundations that every engineering team relies on daily.
What You'll Do
- Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making them faster, more reliable, and easier to reason about
- Define and drive our developer experience strategy—from local development environments to deployment workflows
- Build internal tooling and automation that reduces friction and cognitive load for product engineers
- Establish standards and best practices around deployment, testing pipelines, and release processes
- Partner with the platform team on the boundary between infrastructure and developer tooling
- Instrument and improve the observability of our pipelines and delivery processes
- Champion a culture of fast feedback loops and high deployment confidence
- Use AI tooling to accelerate your own work and help shape how the wider team does the same
- Identify and address systemic bottlenecks in how we build and ship software
- Mentor engineers across the org on DevOps practices and platform tooling
What We're Looking For
Essential
- 6+ years of professional experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or a related role
- Strong hands‑on experience with CI/CD platforms—GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or similar
- Deep understanding of Kubernetes and container‑based deployment workflows
- Experience with GCP or an equivalent cloud provider at production scale
- Solid infrastructure‑as‑code fundamentals (Terraform or similar)
- Strong scripting and automation skills—comfortable in Bash, Python, or Go
- A genuine interest in developer experience: you care about how engineers feel when they interact with the systems you build
- Experience working with observability stacks—metrics, logs, traces—and using them to improve pipeline reliability
- Ability to work autonomously and drive initiatives with minimal guidance
- Strong communication skills—able to work across teams and translate infrastructure concerns into language that lands with product engineers
Highly Desirable
- Experience with Temporal or workflow orchestration systems
- Familiarity with Kafka or event‑streaming infrastructure
- Experience with Grafana, Prometheus, and the wider observability ecosystem
- Background in platform or internal developer platform (IDP) thinking
- Exposure to security and compliance tooling within CI/CD pipelines (SAST, SBOM, secret scanning)
- Experience driving DevEx improvements and measuring their impact
- Familiarity with AI‑assisted development tooling and how it changes platform requirements
Our Tech Stack
- Languages: Go, Bash, Python
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD
- Infrastructure: Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform
- Observability: Grafana stack (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo)
- Messaging & Orchestration: Temporal, Kafka
- Development Tools: Claude Code, AI‑assisted development workflows
What Success Looks Like
- Materially improved the speed or reliability of our CI/CD pipelines
- Shipped at least one developer experience improvement that engineers talk about positively
- Established clear ownership and standards around our deployment process
- Built strong working relationships with platform and product engineering teams
- Contributed to how we think about and measure developer productivity
- Helped evolve our AI‑assisted engineering practices within the DevOps domain
Benefits
- We are going to work with you—to build a rewarding and fulfilling career with the opportunities, challenges, and resources you need to do your best work
- We succeed together: you will own a meaningful part of the business through our employee shares & equity programme
- Private health insurance
- Life insurance
- Unlimited holidays—take the time you need, when you need it
- £1k professional development fund per year to learn new skills, even outside of work
- Most importantly: we will help you realise your fullest potential, always
