Senior Software Engineer

Senior CI/CD Software / Platform Engineer (Highly Specialised Role)

Fully Remote (UK Only)

This is not a typical DevOps or Software Engineering role.

We are looking for a true CI/CD specialist, someone who has built enterprise-scale delivery platforms from scratch, not just maintained or configured pipelines.

The Opportunity

You’ll be joining a high-performing engineering team responsible for global-scale delivery pipelines for a major enterprise programme.

The focus is on:

  • Designing and building CI/CD platforms used across multiple teams globally
  • Creating reusable, standardised pipeline frameworks
  • Embedding security, governance, and best practices directly into delivery workflows
  • Enabling engineering teams to self-serve high-quality pipelines at scale

This is platform engineering for CI/CD, not general DevOps.

What We’re Actually Looking For

You must have hands-on experience in:

  • Building CI/CD platforms from scratch (not just contributing to existing ones)
  • Deep expertise with GitHub Actions, including:
  • Custom actions (ideally in TypeScript)
  • Reusable workflows
  • Organisation-wide pipeline frameworks
  • Designing developer tooling and self-service platforms
  • Implementing secure-by-default pipelines (OIDC, secrets management, permissions)
  • Standardising CI/CD across multiple teams / repos / business units

What Doesn’t Fit

This role is not suitable if your experience is primarily:

  • Full-stack or backend engineering with “some CI/CD”
  • Basic pipeline setup (e.g. Jenkins jobs, simple GitHub workflows)
  • DevOps focused on infrastructure rather than developer experience + delivery platforms

Tech Environment

  • GitHub Actions (core platform)
  • TypeScript / Node.js
  • Cloud: Azure / GCP
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / CDK)
  • Kubernetes / containerised environments

Why This Role?

  • Work on enterprise-scale engineering problems
  • Build platforms used by hundreds of engineers globally
  • Influence how software is delivered at scale, not just contribute to it
  • Join a consultancy focused on high-impact, outcome-driven engineering

Why Apply?

If you’re someone who:

  • Gets frustrated by poorly designed pipelines
  • Enjoys building systems that other engineers rely on daily
  • Wants to own and shape how software is delivered at scale

This is one of those rare roles where your work directly impacts how an entire organisation engineers and ships software.

If this sounds like you, please apply online and have a short summary of the CI/CD platform/s you’ve built from scratch (what you designed, who used it, and the scale).
