Role Summary

The Senior Applications DevOps Engineer will play a pivotal part in enabling secure, scalable, and effective software delivery on the Microsoft Azure platform.

Who we want to work with

We are looking for more than just a skilled DevOps engineer for this role - we are looking for someone who will act as a true leader within the team. The nature of our work requires individuals who can navigate ambiguity, make sound technical decisions, and take ownership from idea through to delivery and beyond. This role is not about waiting for perfectly defined requirements or relying on constant direction; it’s about actively shaping solutions, contributing to the direction of the platform, and driving meaningful outcomes. By combining strong communication, healthy scepticism, and product awareness, you will help ensure we build the right things in the right way

- balancing speed, quality, and long-term value. Ultimately, we want someone who doesn’t just deliver code, but who elevates the team, influences decisions, and plays a key role in building a scalable, globally aligned platform.
