DevOps Engineer

Remote-first, and the Azure DevOps environment is yours to own.

You would be joining an infrastructure engineering team that has just added six new heads as part of a wider technology transformation, in a DevOps seat where the pipelines, the Terraform modules and the platform standards are yours to shape rather than inherit.

What you get

• £55,000 with an 18% combined pension (you put in 8%, they put in 10%)
• Remote first. The team is spread across the country, gets together occasionally, and any travel is expensed
• Ownership of the Azure DevOps environment: projects, pipelines, repos and access control
• Project and architecture work first, with limited day-to-day operational support
• A blue light discount card, dental and healthcare discounts, and the option to buy and sell holiday

The organisation

My client is a large not-for-profit with a growing Microsoft-stack technology function. The infrastructure engineering team covers cloud, network and workplace engineering, and this is one of two DevOps roles within it.

What you will be doing

• Design, build and maintain CI/CD in Azure DevOps, including reusable YAML pipeline templates and pipeline policies
• Build and maintain Terraform modules and infrastructure-as-code for the Azure estate
• Own the cloud hosting for web and native applications and the data lake platform, including routing, CDN, load balancers and ingress
• Act as the technical lead for infrastructure and DevOps on project delivery, working in Agile product teams alongside architects, analysts and developers
• Assure the quality of what third-party suppliers deliver into the Azure environment

What you will need

• Hands-on Azure experience delivering cloud-hosted applications
• Azure DevOps, including building pipelines and managing repos and access control
• Infrastructure as code in Terraform, or Bicep with a willingness to move to Terraform
• Containers and Kubernetes, ideally AKS
• A solid understanding of networking and routing in Azure
• Able to read code and follow a stack trace in a language such as C#, Java or Node

Useful, not essential

• Azure data services such as Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse or Purview
• Experience assuring third-party technical delivery
• Contribution to security architecture or technical standards
• Azure or architecture certifications
