Senior DevOps Engineer

My client is a fast-growing, VC-backed Tech company building an all-in-one platform redefining how commercial property works. Early-stage but well-funded, moving fast, and now bringing in senior engineering talent to level up their infrastructure.

The Role

A high-ownership contract position where you'll be the sole DevOps engineer in the business. You own the AWS environment end-to-end — not just keeping the lights on, but actively improving security posture, tightening pipelines, and driving the company toward ISO 27001 certification. Full autonomy, real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning and improving the AWS infrastructure — reliability, cost-efficiency, and sensible architecture

• Writing and maintaining Terraform to keep all cloud resources codified and version-controlled

• Building out and refining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions

• Driving security forward — access controls, secrets management, practical policies for ISO 27001

• Evaluating and introducing tooling to improve speed and reliability across the dev workflow

• Acting as the primary point of contact when infrastructure issues arise

What They're Looking For

• Expert-level AWS and Terraform — non-negotiable, this is the core of the role

• Strong CI/CD experience, specifically GitHub Actions

• Proven experience working toward ISO 27001 or similar security standards

• Comfortable as the sole DevOps person — full ownership, no hand-holding

• Clear communicator who can explain infrastructure decisions to non-DevOps colleagues

• Kubernetes experience is a plus

• Start-up mindset — practical, keeps it simple, avoids over-engineering

What You Get

• Full ownership of a greenfield infrastructure improvement project

• Real influence at a well-funded company on a strong growth trajectory

• Remote working environment
