About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Lead DevOps Engineer to lead the design, delivery, and operation of secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure.

This role combines approximately 60% individual contribution with 40% team leadership and management. You will remain actively involved in architecture, automation, implementation, troubleshooting, and operational support while mentoring engineers, setting technical standards, and coordinating the team's delivery.

Hands-on Engineering - 60%

  • Design and implement secure, scalable, resilient, and highly available cloud and hybrid environments, primarily on AWS.
  • Own and evolve AWS architecture across networking, compute, storage, identity, security, containers, and managed services.
  • Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, Argo CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
  • Implement GitOps practices and automate application deployment, configuration, testing, and release processes.
  • Provision and manage infrastructure using Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation, following reusable and version-controlled Infrastructure as Code practices.
  • Design, deploy, and operate containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, preferably Amazon EKS.
  • Improve Kubernetes resilience through effective workload configuration, autoscaling, resource management, health checks, ingress, secrets management, and disaster-recovery practices.
  • Develop automation and operational tooling using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Implement comprehensive observability using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, centralised logging, distributed tracing, alerting, and service-level indicators.
  • Embed security throughout the software delivery lifecycle, including identity and access management, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement, encryption, and supply-chain security.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, deployment, performance, and production reliability issues.
  • Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, and continuous service improvement.
  • Identify opportunities to improve reliability, security, developer productivity, performance, and cloud cost efficiency.

Leadership and Management - 40%

  • Lead, mentor, and develop DevOps, cloud, and platform engineers through coaching, technical guidance, and regular feedback.
  • Establish and maintain engineering standards for cloud architecture, automation, CI/CD, security, reliability, and operational readiness.
  • Plan and prioritise the team's work in partnership with engineering, product, security, and business stakeholders.
  • Provide technical direction while balancing delivery timelines, operational risk, scalability, security, and cost.
  • Review architectural proposals, infrastructure code, automation, and operational processes.
  • Promote a culture of ownership, collaboration, documentation, continuous improvement, and blameless learning.
  • Coordinate incident response and ensure corrective actions are documented, prioritised, and completed.
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, performance management, career development, and capability planning.
  • Communicate technical risks, dependencies, progress, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Champion DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering, and cloud governance practices across the organisation.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
