DevOps Engineer (CI/CD & Automation)
Fully Remote – UK (must have permanent right to work in the UK)
£55,000 + 4% bonus
We are recruiting on behalf of a fast‑growing fintech product company who are building secure, reliable platforms used in real‑world financial services.
As their engineering organisation continues to scale, they are looking to add a hands‑on DevOps Engineer who enjoys executing, automating, and continuously improving how software is delivered.
This is not a platform architect or strategy‑only role. It is a practical opportunity for someone with 3–5 years’ experience who can confidently execute within established platform frameworks and make measurable improvements day to day.
The role
Joining a lean, capable DevOps function, you’ll focus on delivery excellence and automation rather than reinvention:
* Designing and building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (hands‑on pipeline construction required)
* Improving build, release, and deployment workflows across a hybrid cloud and on‑prem environment
* Managing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible
* Supporting containerised services using Docker and Docker Compose
* Reducing manual steps and embedding quality and security into pipelines
* Working closely with product engineering teams to enable faster, safer releases
* Maintaining documentation, troubleshooting issues, and refining existing tooling
This is a role for someone who enjoys getting things done and leaving systems in better shape than they found them.
Tech stack & environment
Core experience required:
* ✅ GitHub Actions (designing and building pipelines)
* ✅ Docker & Docker Compose
* ✅ Terraform and Ansible
* ✅ Hybrid cloud + on‑prem infrastructure experience
Areas they can flex on:
* Software engineering depth or statically typed languages
* Tooling such as Vault, Cloudflare, or Cloudsmith
* Supporting polyglot engineering teams
Kubernetes is intentionally out of scope for this role.
Your background
* 3–5 years’ experience in DevOps, CI/CD, or automation roles
* Background in a product-led engineering organisation
* Strong execution mindset — comfortable working within established platforms
* Hands-on pipeline, infrastructure, and operational experience
* Exposure to hybrid environments (not cloud-only)
* Clear communication and a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach
This role will not be suitable if your background is primarily:
* ❌ Kubernetes‑centric or platform‑architecture‑focused
* ❌ Pure cloud‑only with no on‑prem experience
* ❌ Consulting‑only without product company experience
* ❌ Azure DevOps or Octopus Deploy as your main CI/CD tooling
Why this opportunity?
* Fully remote role (UK‑based)
* Join a scaling fintech with a strong product mindset
* Work in a trusted engineering culture with real autonomy
* Competitive salary up to £55,000 plus 4% bonus
* A chance to directly influence how software is delivered at scale
If you are a hands‑on DevOps engineer who enjoys execution, automation, and improving delivery within an established platform, this is a strong opportunity to make impact with a growing fintech client.
