We are looking for Senior DevOps Engineers to build the automation and orchestration backbone of an enterprise internal developer platform (IDP) we are co-creating with a leading UK financial services organisation.
The platform, built on Port.io, gives the client's engineering teams self-service access to golden paths — cloud landing zones, standard images, pipelines and tooling — through a curated catalogue. Your job is the machinery behind that catalogue: the GitHub Actions workflows and Temporal orchestrations that every self-service action triggers, the reusable pipeline templates that engineering teams consume, and the integrations that connect the portal to the delivery toolchain. These roles form the long-term engineering core of the platform team.
Key Responsibilities
- Workflow orchestration: Design and build the workflows behind self-service actions — GitHub Actions for standard workflows and Temporal for complex, long-running orchestrations — with Port.io as the common trigger.
- Pipeline products: Build and maintain reusable,
versioned CI/CD pipeline templates that engineering teams across the organisation consume as golden paths.
- Toolchain integration: Integrate the developer portal with the delivery toolchain — GitHub, Terraform pipelines, security scanning (Wiz, Checkov, OPA), testing and cost tooling — so quality gates are embedded by default.
- Catalogue automation: Automate the publication, versioning and lifecycle of catalogue items, including the contribution workflows through which other teams add capabilities to the platform.
- Reliability: Own the operational quality of the orchestration layer: monitoring, error handling, retries and idempotency for platform workflows.
- Engineering standards: Set and uphold standards for workflow code — review, testing, documentation — and mentor mid-level engineers across the distributed team.
- Collaboration: Work day-to-day with the platform and back-end engineers in Portugal and India, an
