DevOps Engineer

We're working with an established, global financial technology business, they're hiring a DevOps Engineer to sit embedded within a software engineering team, owning automation, observability and platform reliability across a mixed on-prem and cloud environment - a genuinely differentiated setup in a market where most roles have gone all-in on public cloud.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and enhancing CI/CD pipelines using current industry best practice
• Building dashboards and alerting to keep production and test environments running smoothly
• Owning service reliability — investigating, resolving, and permanently fixing recurring issues rather than firefighting them
• Writing deployment automation with tools like Helm and Ansible
• Working hands-on with Kubernetes and Kafka as part of platform integration work
• Collaborating closely with development teams and stakeholders to automate their needs early in the delivery lifecycle

What you'll bring:

• Solid hands-on experience (3+ years, 5+ for senior) across Python/shell scripting, Linux, containerisation (Docker/Podman), and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI or similar)
• A track record operating in production environments, with a strong grip on distributed systems and network troubleshooting
• Comfort with Git branching models and configuration management
• An automation-first mindset

Nice to have, not essential:

• Kubernetes and Kafka experience
• Experience in a highly regulated environment
• Familiarity with no-downtime/blue-green deployment practices
• iOS/mobile build tooling exposure (Xcode, Swift)
