Job Description
DevOps Engineer
Newcastle upon Tyne (On-site / Hybrid)
Up to £80,000 + Package – Permanent
We’re building something special in Newcastle and we need the very best. This isn’t a role for average engineers — we’re only interested in outstanding DevOps talent with elite academic backgrounds (Russell Group or better), proven coding ability, and the hunger to solve big problems at pace.
You’ll be part of a team that sets the standard for technical excellence in the North East, working on complex challenges with real-world impact. If you’ve got the brains, the drive, and the curiosity, this is where you’ll thrive.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing and automating infrastructure and environments at scale
* Owning and evolving CI/CD pipelines that keep delivery fast and reliable
* Building advanced monitoring, diagnostics, and automation solutions
* Working side by side with business users to deliver at pace
* Collaborating with some of the sharpest technical minds in the UK
Experience required
* Strong coding ability in C#, Java, Python or similar
* PowerShell or equivalent scripting expertise
* Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
* Containerisation & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
* CI/CD tooling (TeamCity or similar)
* Monitoring with ELK, Grafana or equivalent
* SQL Server plus Windows & Linux administration
* Minimum 2:1 degree in Computer Science (or related field) — ideally from a Russell Group university
Nice to have
* Atlassian toolset (JIRA, Bitbucket)
* Artifactory, Octopus Deploy
* Static analysis tools (SonarQube)
* Cloud experience (Azure, AWS, GCP)
* VMware and SAN knowledge
Why this is different
* Join a high-calibre team in Newcastle where only the best make the cut
* Work on projects with global significance and real-world impact
* Own technical delivery from day one
* Learn directly from industry-leading experts
* Thrive in a culture that values curiosity, pace, and excellence
if you’re among the best — academically, technically, and personally — this is where you’ll be challenged and rewarded.
