Working Arrangement: 1 Day Per Month Onsite
Salary: Up to £125k (Realistic £110–120k)
Let’s cut through it. This isn’t a “keep the lights on” DevOps role.
This is a platform-shaping, culture-driving, reliability-owning Tech Lead position. You’ll be the person who ensures the engine never stalls.
Powering 50+ websites and 10 mobile apps, this digital ecosystem operates at serious scale. The infrastructure behind it? That’s where you come in.
The Mission
We’re looking for a DevOps Tech Lead to own the cloud platform, drive operational excellence and build a squad that delivers infrastructure properly.
You’ll spend around 30% hands‑on (because leaders who code earn respect), and the rest shaping strategy, mentoring engineers and pushing standards higher.
This is about:
* Rock-solid Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
* Mature CI/CD pipelines & GitHub workflows
* Building a true DevOps / SRE culture
* If uptime, automation and elegant infrastructure matter to you - you’ll feel at home here.
What You’ll Own
* Lead a high-performing DevOps / Platform squad
* Design and scale Azure infrastructure
* Guide incident management & root cause analysis
* Elevate CI/CD and release strategies
* Embed a culture of automation, accountability and security
* You won’t just respond to incidents, you’ll design systems where incidents become rare.
What You Bring
* Proven experience leading DevOps or SRE teams
* Strong Terraform & IaC in production
* CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions or similar)
* Strong communication across tech & non-tech stakeholders
* Zero‑trust / secrets management
* Event‑driven systems & distributed architecture
* CDN & performance optimisation knowledge
* You think strategically, You execute practically and you hold the bar high.
The Perks (And They’re Proper Perks)
* Monthly peer recognition with potential double pay for a month
* Staff discount across all group brands
* Onsite state-of-the-art gym with full shower facilities
* Discounted gym memberships across multiple UK locations
* 24/7 wellbeing support including counselling & financial/legal advice
* Real progression in a business that backs ambitious leaders
And here’s something different - once a year you’ll spend time on the frontline of the business to understand how your platform impacts real-world operations. That perspective shapes better engineering decisions.
Why This Role?
Because you’re not just another DevOps engineer. You’re someone who:
* Wants influence.
* Wants ownership.
* Wants scale.
* Wants to build systems that don’t wobble under pressure.
This business moves fast, it rewards bold thinking and it backs leaders who step up.
If you’re ready to take full ownership of platform reliability and build something that genuinely operates at scale.
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
