DevOps Engineer

About the Role: Birmingham is famous for its pioneering industrial heritage, and at Khan Cloud Solutions Ltd, we bring that same spirit of engineering excellence to modern cloud infrastructure. We build resilient, enterprise-grade cloud environments that keep businesses running smoothly and securely. We believe that infrastructure management shouldn't be a bottleneck—it should be an accelerator. We are looking for a DevOps Engineer who can take ownership of our deployment automation and system architecture. You aren't just managing servers; you are shaping our continuous delivery strategy. You will bridge the gap between software development and operations, translating complex application requirements into fast, reliable, and secure deployment pipelines. You are the champion for uptime and performance in a room full of developers and project managers.

Why Work With Us?

• The Environment: Our office is situated in Birmingham's vibrant digital hub. We value a workplace that fosters collaboration and focus—think modern setup, fast kit, and high-energy teammates.
• Engineering Culture: We don't need you to convince us that automation matters. We know it does. You will have autonomy over technical decisions from Day 1.
• Modern Tech Stack: We work with AWS, Azure, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. If there is a better tool for the job, we are eager to adopt it.
• Growth: You will have access to training budgets and certification sponsorship (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKA) to keep your skill set ahead of the curve.

Key Responsibilities:

• CI/CD Pipeline Ownership: Design, optimize, and maintain automated release pipelines. Ensure fast, repeatable, and zero-downtime deployments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Provision and scale multi-cloud environments using Terraform and Ansible to ensure consistent configuration management.
• Cloud & Container Security: Containerize applications using Docker and orchestrate with Kubernetes while implementing DevSecOps best practices.
• Monitoring & Observability: Set up proactive logging, tracing, and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to diagnose issues before users ever notice them.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work directly with software engineers to optimize code pipelines and streamline developer handoffs.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience: 3+ years in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or System Architecture in a fast-paced environment.
• Technical Mastery: Deep hands-on knowledge of public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, and IaC tooling.
• Tooling: Proficient with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) and scripting languages (Python, Bash).
• Communication Skills: Professional English fluency is required to collaborate effectively with engineering teams and present technical roadmaps to leadership.
• Mindset: Pragmatic and proactive. You anticipate system bottlenecks early, automate repetitive tasks ruthlessly, and balance rapid deployment with operational stability.

Pay: £55,000.00-£70,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Cycle to work scheme
• Flexitime
• Health & wellbeing programme
