DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer – Remote (UK)

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to help us build, scale, and automate the infrastructure behind our digital platforms.

This isn’t just another cloud role. The platforms you’ll help design and run are mission-critical, rapid-response systems that genuinely change people’s lives for the better. Reliability, security, and speed aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re what make the difference when it matters most.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring these services are secure, highly available, and ready to scale, working alongside a talented technical team that values problem-solving, innovation, and continuous improvement.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing and maintaining scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure on AWS
  • Building infrastructure-as-code with Terraform (and Ansible where needed)
  • Working with Docker and container orchestration (ECS/EKS, Helm)
  • Streamlining and optimising CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI)
  • Setting up and managing observability with Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana
  • Automating deployments and improving recovery, redundancy, and capacity planning
  • Supporting Linux environments (Ubuntu/CentOS)
  • Getting involved in incident response and helping us prevent problems before they happen

What we’re looking for

  • Solid background in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering
  • Strong AWS experience (VPC, EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, IAM, Route53)
  • Good knowledge of Terraform and automation tools
  • Hands-on with containers and orchestration (Docker, ECS/EKS, Helm)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI)
  • Familiarity with monitoring tools (Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana)
  • Confident scripting in Python and Bash
  • Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset

Nice to have (not essential):

  • Experience with Azure or GCP
  • Knowledge of networking (VPC Peering, Direct Connect)
  • Exposure to modern backend frameworks (Laravel, Vue.js)

What’s in it for you

  • Fully remote role with flexible working hours (core 9–5:30 UK)
  • Chance to work on life-changing, mission-critical platforms
  • Support for training & certifications to keep you at the top of your game
  • A collaborative, supportive team environment where your input matters

Tech stack you’ll work with

AWS | Terraform | Ansible | Docker | ECS/EKS | GitHub Actions | GitLab CI | Datadog | CloudWatch | Prometheus | Grafana | Linux | Python | Bash

If you’re passionate about automation, thrive on solving complex problems, and want your work to make a genuine difference when it matters most, we’d love to hear from you.
