DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer
Location: Remote (UK-based preferred) with occasional international travel
A new client for us who are really cool, they're a specialist security software business building high-performance video management and monitoring platforms used in demanding, real-time environments worldwide. Their systems operate in critical and security-sensitive settings, where reliability, resilience, and performance are non-negotiable.
They're a small, highly capable engineering team working on complex, mission-critical software. As they continue to scale, they're looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to help strengthen their infrastructure, streamline deployments, and support global implementations.
You'll play a key role in owning and improving their deployment and infrastructure landscape as well as:
  • Design, manage, and optimise Docker-based deployments
  • Maintain and monitor virtualised environments
  • Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines and GitHub workflows
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and error-tracking tools
  • Support deployments of modular software platforms
  • Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, and performance issues
  • Work closely with software engineers to improve reliability, security, and performance
  • Support on-site installations and system commissioning when required
  • Create and maintain clear technical documentation for internal use
  • Develop and evolve automation roadmaps for DevOps and deployment processes
Travel Requirements: This is a remote-first role, however occasional international travel will be required to support customer deployments and system installations. A valid passport is essential.
Skills & Experience:
I'm looking for someone with strong hands-on experience in many of the following areas:

  • Issue and project tracking tools (e.g. Jira or equivalent)
Desirable Experience
  • Infrastructure-as-Code concepts and tooling
  • Video streaming or video management systems
  • CCTV or surveillance deployments
  • Networking fundamentals (VPNs, firewalls, routing)
  • Messaging technologies (e.g. MQTT or similar)
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work autonomously
  • Comfortable working directly with clients, integrators, and project stakeholders
Tech Environment
  • Back end: TypeScript (Node.js), Golang
  • Front end: React
  • Virtualisation: Proxmox
  • Containers: Docker, Kubernetes
  • CI/CD & Source Control: GitHub / GitHub Actions

  • High level of technical ownership and influence
  • Collaborative, focused, and experienced engineering team
  • Competitive salary with growth opportunities in a scaling business
