The Role: You will be the lead designer for infrastructure automation, responsible for architecting and delivering Ansible-based solutions integrated into global Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.

• Lead the transition toward fully automated workflows using Ansible, Python, and Go.
• Collaborate with Risk Management teams to ensure designs meet strict Credit, Market, and IT Ops risk standards.
• Modernize Legacy environments, including Mainframe (z/OS) and File Transmission workflows (IBM SFG/SSP).
• Work within an Agile framework to deliver high-quality, documented solutions.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years in an Architectural role focused on Ansible and Jenkins.
• Mastery of Shell Scripting and at least one high-level language (Python or Go).
• Experience with BMC Control-M or Mainframe job execution is highly desirable.
• A "Consultant Mindset"-the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse global stakeholders.

Logistics:

• Location: Sheffield (Hybrid - 3 days per week on-site).
• Type: FTE or Subcon options available.
