We’re supporting a fast-growing SaaS business that’s scaling organically, having just passed £1m ARR and aiming to double that over the next 12–18 months. Their platform has grown steadily alongside the business and underpins a busy field engineering operation. They now need a DevOps Engineer to take full ownership of the infrastructure, replacing a part-time consultant.
This is a hands‑on role where you’ll bring structure, set standards, and lay the foundations the team needs for the next phase of growth. You’ll take ownership of systems end‑to‑end and be trusted to shape how the platform scales.
The Role
* Own, run, and improve the AWS infrastructure that powers the platform.
* Act as the bridge between development teams and live operations, ensuring smooth and reliable delivery.
* Automate deployments, monitoring, backups, and disaster recovery.
* Take a structured approach to systems architecture, defining best practices for scalability, reliability, and security.
* Grow into a leadership role as the business scales, with the opportunity to build and manage a small team.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM) and hybrid environments.
* Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform (or CloudFormation).
* Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support efficient delivery.
* Monitor system performance, reliability, and security.
* Oversee failover, backup, and disaster recovery strategies.
* Collaborate with the security lead to meet modern cyber standards.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience as a Senior DevOps Engineer in AWS environments.
* Hands‑on experience with AWS core services (EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM).
* Strong experience with Terraform or CloudFormation for Infrastructure as Code.
* Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
* Confident with scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
* Experience with monitoring tools (CloudWatch, New Relic, or similar).
Why Join?
* Full ownership of infrastructure, looking to move into serverless tech.
* Be part of an organic growth story, shaping systems for the next stage of expansion.
* Culture of low churn, team socials, and company‑wide strategy days to keep everyone aligned.
* Strong leadership team backing and willingness to invest in the right people early.
Hybrid: 1 day every 2 weeks in office with flexible remote working.
