Building a Connected Community in the Tech Industry
The Opportunity
We’re working with a fast-scaling data insights platform that helps some of the world’s most well-known brands tap into new digital economies. From virtual events to immersive environments, their product is helping global businesses navigate how they show up and drive revenue in these emerging spaces — and their engineering team is at the heart of that.
They're now looking to hire a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to own and evolve the infrastructure behind a high-scale, data-rich platform used by global enterprises.
If you're excited about shaping the reliability, scalability, and security of a rapidly evolving tech product, this role puts you in the driver’s seat.
Why Join?
* You’ll own the AWS and Kubernetes stack end-to-end and make key architectural decisions.
* Work directly with experienced engineers in a highly collaborative environment.
* Build mature infrastructure and deployment pipelines from the ground up — not just maintain legacy code.
* Be hands-on with SRE, observability, and security in a business scaling fast.
Your Impact:
* Manage and improve a cloud-native infrastructure (AWS) with Terraform and Kubernetes (EKS).
* Lead CI/CD architecture and implement best practices (GitHub Actions).
* Optimise the performance, reliability, and security of core systems, including databases (RDS, MongoDB, Elasticsearch).
* Drive monitoring, alerting, and incident response workflows using tools like Grafana and Prometheus.
* Enhance internal developer experience through automation, tooling, and productivity improvements.
* Help guide the platform toward SOC2 compliance with a focus on IAM, secrets management, and network security.
* Mentor a DevOps engineer and help shape platform strategy as the company scales.
What You'll Bring:
* Proven experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles within production environments.
* Deep knowledge of AWS and strong hands-on skills with Terraform (advanced).
* Solid experience managing Kubernetes workloads and clusters.
* Strong scripting ability (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
* Hands-on experience improving CI/CD pipelines (ideally with GitHub Actions).
* A mindset focused on automation, scalability, and reliability.
* Bonus if you’ve worked within compliance frameworks like SOC2 or ISO.
Required Skills:
* Proven experience in a DevOps, Site Reliability, or Platform Engineering role managing production systems in a cloud-native environment.
* Extensive hands-on expertise with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including services such as EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, and VPC configuration.
* Advanced proficiency with Terraform for managing complex infrastructure as code, including best practices for modularisation and reusability.
* Strong practical knowledge of Kubernetes in production, including cluster provisioning, scaling, security hardening, and workload orchestration.
* Demonstrated ability to design, implement, and optimise CI/CD pipelines, ideally using GitHub Actions.
* Solid understanding of monitoring, logging, and alerting systems, with experience implementing observability using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and CloudWatch.
* Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash, or Go) for automating infrastructure tasks and operational workflows.
* Experience managing and tuning databases and data services (such as PostgreSQL via RDS, MongoDB, or Elasticsearch) from an infrastructure and availability perspective.
* Strong understanding of security best practices across infrastructure, including IAM, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and network security controls.
* A collaborative and pragmatic mindset, with a passion for automation, reliability, and continuous improvement.
* Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers, with the ability to guide and share knowledge effectively.
* Bonus: Familiarity with SOC2 compliance or other security frameworks in production environments.
* Competitive salary in the £80,000–£100,000 range, plus discretionary annual bonus
* Office-first hybrid model, with a modern Central London HQ and flexibility for remote working days
* Learning & development budget for courses, certifications (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), and industry events
* Mentorship and career progression opportunities, including potential to move into leadership or principal engineering roles
* Choice of high-spec hardware and development tools, including MacBook Pro or equivalent
* 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and a fully paid company-wide break over the Christmas period
* Regular team lunches, monthly socials, and company off-sites
* Private healthcare plan, including mental health support and virtual GP access
* Commuter benefits including a cycle-to-work scheme and season ticket loan
* The opportunity to join a high-growth, well-funded scale-up working with some of the world’s most recognisable global brands
