DevOps Engineer
Oxford (Hybrid)
What if your infrastructure work directly powered technology that most engineers only read about?
We're partnering with a highly innovative, well-funded deep tech organisation based in Oxford that's building some of the most advanced systems in the world today.
As they scale, they're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help shape and evolve the platform behind it all.
This isn't your typical DevOps role. You'll be working across a mix of cloud-connected and fully isolated environments, tackling unique challenges around deployment, observability, and infrastructure at scale. You'll play a key role in designing how complex systems are commissioned, deployed, and maintained in both standard and highly controlled environments.
What you'll be doing
* Building and automating infrastructure using modern IaC tools
* Developing and improving CI/CD pipelines (self-hosted environments)
* Designing observability across distributed systems
* Supporting deployments across both connected and air-gapped environments
* Contributing to the evolution of a hybrid cloud/on-prem platform
What we're looking for
* Strong DevOps / SRE background in complex environments
* Linux expertise (Ubuntu preferred)
* Experience with Terraform, Ansible or similar
* Solid scripting skills (Python, Bash, etc.)
Bonus points if you've worked with:
* Kubernetes or other orchestration tools
* Observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry)
* Secure or isolated infrastructure environment.
Why this role?
You'll be joining a small but growing team where your work has real impact on cutting-edge technology. It's an opportunity to solve problems that don't exist in typical cloud environments and to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team pushing boundaries every day.
