DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer (CI/CD & Automation)

Fully Remote – UK (must have permanent right to work in the UK)

£55,000 + 4% bonus

We are recruiting on behalf of a fast‐growing fintech product company who are building secure, reliable platforms used in real‐world financial services.

As their engineering organisation continues to scale, they are looking to add a hands‐on DevOps Engineer who enjoys executing, automating, and continuously improving how software is delivered.

This is not a platform architect or strategy‐only role. It is a practical opportunity for someone with 3–5 years’ experience who can confidently execute within established platform frameworks and make measurable improvements day to day.

The role

Joining a lean, capable DevOps function, you’ll focus on delivery excellence and automation rather than reinvention:

• Designing and building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (hands‐on pipeline construction required)
• Improving build, release, and deployment workflows across a hybrid cloud and on‐prem environment
• Managing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible
• Supporting containerised services using Docker and Docker Compose
• Reducing manual steps and embedding quality and security into pipelines
• Working closely with product engineering teams to enable faster, safer releases
• Maintaining documentation, troubleshooting issues, and refining existing tooling

This is a role for someone who enjoys getting things done and leaving systems in better shape than they found them.

Tech stack & environment

Core experience required:

• ✅ GitHub Actions (designing and building pipelines)
• ✅ Docker & Docker Compose
• ✅ Terraform and Ansible
• ✅ Hybrid cloud + on‐prem infrastructure experience

Areas they can flex on:

• Software engineering depth or statically typed languages
• Tooling such as Vault, Cloudflare, or Cloudsmith
• Supporting polyglot engineering teams

Kubernetes is intentionally out of scope for this role.

Your background

• 3–5 years’ experience in DevOps, CI/CD, or automation roles
• Background in a product-led engineering organisation
• Strong execution mindset — comfortable working within established platforms
• Hands-on pipeline, infrastructure, and operational experience
• Exposure to hybrid environments (not cloud-only)
• Clear communication and a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach

This role will not be suitable if your background is primarily:

• ❌ Kubernetes‐centric or platform‐architecture‐focused
• ❌ Pure cloud‐only with no on‐prem experience
• ❌ Consulting‐only without product company experience
• ❌ Azure DevOps or Octopus Deploy as your main CI/CD tooling

Why this opportunity?

• Fully remote role (UK‐based)
• Join a scaling fintech with a strong product mindset
• Work in a trusted engineering culture with real autonomy
• Competitive salary up to £55,000 plus 4% bonus
• A chance to directly influence how software is delivered at scale

If you are a hands‐on DevOps engineer who enjoys execution, automation, and improving delivery within an established platform, this is a strong opportunity to make impact with a growing fintech client.
