About the role

Why you would like it:

• Own CI/CD and cloud foundations end-to-end (not just tickets)
• Mix of DevOps, infrastructure, and database platforms
• Meaningful stakeholder engagement, including customer-facing problem solving
• Plenty of scope to improve reliability, security, and automation

The opportunity:

This is a senior-level DevOps role for someone who enjoys being close to production and cares about making platforms run better every month. You’ll take a lead role across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and operational practices, while also supporting key database platforms. There’s a strong practical focus: automate what’s repeatable, stabilise what’s fragile, and lift security and disaster recovery maturity.

You’ll work alongside development and QA, and you’ll also have direct engagement with customers and third parties - so communication and calm problem-solving matter as much as technical depth.

Company profile: 

An established technology company with an infrastructure-focused team supporting business-critical platforms and customer environments. The culture suits people who take ownership, communicate clearly, and like improving how work gets done. 

The role:

• Design, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines; improve release reliability
• Manage and optimise cloud infrastructure (Azure; AWS/GCP exposure useful)
• Support and enhance database environments (e.g., SQL Server, Azure SQL, Firebird)
• Strengthen monitoring, failover, disaster recovery, and firewall integrity
• Automate deployments and operational tasks (PowerShell, YAML, .NET Core)
• Champion DevOps ways of working; uplift practices across the team
• Engage with customers and internal stakeholders; resolve escalations within SLAs

Your fit: 

• 5+ years’ experience in a senior DevOps / infrastructure engineering role
• Strong Azure capability (design, operations, cost awareness, resilience)
• Hands-on CI/CD delivery experience (not just administration)
• Solid grounding in databases (SQL Server/Azure SQL; Firebird a bonus)
• Infrastructure-as-code exposure (Terraform and/or ARM templates)
• Scripting / automation skills (PowerShell, YAML; .NET Core helpful)
• Clear communicator who stays composed under pressure and takes ownership
• Comfortable working with customers and third parties when needed
