You can expect to be doing

- Own the design and implementation of DevOps platform capabilities, ensuring alignment to cloud-native, security, and engineering standards
- Define and implement platform standards, including service archetypes, repository structures, branching strategies, and environment topology
- Engineer and optimise CI/CD pipelines with integrated quality gates, automated testing, promotion controls, and release orchestration to enable reliable route-to-live
- Implement secure-by-design DevSecOps controls, including IAM, secrets management, supply chain assurance, and compliance automation aligned to regulatory requirements
- Design and deliver observability frameworks, covering logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and SLO-based monitoring to ensure operational visibility and maintainability
- Build for resilience and scalability, including autoscaling strategies, disaster recovery design, failure simulations, and operational readiness practices
- Continuously improve platform efficiency and developer experience, reducing manual effort through automation, optimising costs, and resolving delivery bottlenecks
- Drive innovation in DevOps practices, exploring AIOps, predictive monitoring, and enhancements to developer productivity across the software lifecycle
- Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, and product teams to translate platform requirements into robust, scalable solutions

We would be looking for the following...

- 15+ years of software engineering experience, with a minimum of 10 years in DevOps or platform engineering roles




- Strong experience in DevOps engineering and platform design, with hands-on expertise in building and operating cloud-native platforms
- Deep knowledge of CI/CD, automation, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC), including Terraform, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and repeatability
- Hands-on expertise in GCP, Kubernetes (GKE), containerisation, and distributed systems
- Strong programming skills (e.g. Java, Python, Go, or similar) with an automation-first mindset
- Strong understanding and practical application of agile engineering practices
- Strong understanding of observability, SLOs/SLAs, and production operations
- Experience designing for resilience and scalability, including DR, capacity management, and performance optimisation
- Robust collaboration skills, working effectively across engineering, architecture, and product teams

It would be great if you also had

- Experience with Harness or similar modern CI/CD and release orchestration platforms
- Strong exposure to DevSecOps practices, including embedding security controls across the SDLC
- Exposure to AIOps, predictive monitoring, or AI-assisted engineering practices
- Experience optimising CI/CD pipelines and release processes for large-scale platforms
- Knowledge of API management platforms (e.g. Apigee X) and enterprise integration patterns
- Experience working in regulated environments, with an understanding of compliance, audit, and data controls
- Familiarity with cost optimisation and capacity planning strategies in cloud environments
