You will work closely with software engineering teams to ensure smooth rollouts, rapid deployments, and seamless integration of features and services in production.
You will also focus on monitoring, alerting and system performance, using modern observability platforms to ensure uptime and proactively identify issues before they impact users. Collaboration is central to your success — you’ll partner with developers, security, product owners and other stakeholders to embed DevOps best practices and drive continuous improvement across the delivery lifecycle. A strong automation mindset and deep understanding of cloud architecture will help you optimise infrastructure performance, enhance security, and reduce operational overhead.
The ideal candidate will bring substantial experience in DevOps or SRE-aligned roles, with a proven record of delivering and maintaining large-scale cloud infrastructure. You’ll be comfortable with Linux systems, container orchestration (like Kubernetes), cloud services (particularly AWS), and tools such as Terraform, Jenkins/GitLab CI or equivalent. You’ll also have excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in agile, cross-functional teams.
This is an exciting opportunity to take a senior technical position in a growing SaaS company where your expertise will directly influence platform reliability, scalability and customer satisfaction.
