DevOps Engineer

Do you enjoy building the platform that enables developers to ship software faster? And would you like to work on a modern internal developer platform where automation, Kubernetes and developer experience take centre stage?

Company profile

This product-driven software company develops high-traffic digital platforms that are used by millions of users every month. With multiple product teams working on business-critical applications, the Platform Engineering team is responsible for providing the tooling, infrastructure and automation that allow developers to build and deploy software efficiently. The engineering culture is pragmatic, collaborative and highly technical. Teams are small, ownership is encouraged and engineers are given the freedom to improve the platform and introduce better ways of working.

Job description

As a Platform Engineer, you'll join a small DevOps team responsible for building and improving the internal developer platform used by multiple product teams. Rather than supporting production incidents all day, you'll focus on creating reusable platform capabilities, improving developer experience and further automating infrastructure and deployment processes. You'll work on Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure and self-service tooling that enables development teams to deploy independently while maintaining security, reliability and consistency.

• Work with modern Platform Engineering principles

• Direct influence on developer experience across multiple product teams

• Strong focus on automation and self-service

• Plenty of room to introduce new ideas and technologies

• Small engineering teams with lots of ownership

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer or Systems Engineer

• Experience with Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

• Experience with Kubernetes

• Experience with Docker

• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with GitHub Actions or similar tooling
