Are you ready to build a DevOps function from scratch? We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and scaling of DevOps practices across a multi-cloud environment (Azure & AWS). This is a rare opportunity to shape the tooling, processes, and culture from the ground up in a fast-moving, tech-forward organisation.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Architect and implement DevOps best practices across CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and cloud governance.
  • Build and maintain scalable, secure infrastructure using Terraform and other IaC tools.
  • Own the CI/CD pipeline strategy using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar.
  • Set up monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworks (Datadog, LogicMonitor, SolarWinds).
  • Collaborate closely with Cloud and FinOps teams to align infrastructure, cost optimisation, and delivery.
  • Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem processes.
  • Mentor engineers and promote a DevOps-first mindset across teams.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven experience building DevOps capabilities from scratch.
  • Deep knowledge of Azure and AWS cloud platforms.
  • Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling and automation.
  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates).
  • Solid understanding of cloud security, IAM, RBAC, and compliance.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Certifications such as AZ-400, AWS Solutions Architect, or Terraform Associate are a plus.

Why Join?

  • Be the architect of a greenfield DevOps environment.
  • Work alongside high-performing Cloud and FinOps specialists.
  • Influence technology decisions and shape engineering culture.
  • Competitive salary, flexible working, and a collaborative team.
