Job description

Job Benefits: bonus and benefits

We are currently looking for a mid-level DevOps engineer to step into a specialised website business going through a major period of transformation, moving away from legacy infrastructure, reshaping their DevOps function, and migrating into a modern, microservices-driven architecture.

You’d be joining a collaborative and long-standing engineering team (some Day 1 employees still on board), working closely with the Head of Engineering and a handful of experienced engineers. There’s genuine buy-in from the top to level-up infrastructure and DevOps maturity, and room to shape best practice and culture from day one.

Salary: £80k+ depending on experience + bonus

Location: Hybrid – 1-2 days in-office (Central London). Mondays typically, to encourage team and cross-department interaction.

Techstack:

AWS-first mindset – with deep knowledge of core services (EC2, ECS, RDS, etc.)

IAC – CloudFormation and Terraform preferrably

CI / CD experience (they’re using GitHub Actions, Ansible, and increasingly Terraform for automation)

Experience supporting legacy systems, with an interest in helping migrate towards microservices

Familiarity with monitoring, security, and deployment automation – all seen as equally critical pillars of the role

Why this role?

• Opportunity to grow toward aHead of Infrastructure remit asthe platform evolves

Encouraged debate and discussion on tech direction – digitalisation is a key theme

Open-minded on background – whether you’re coming from a dev-heavy or ops-heavy path, they value engineers who’ve contributed meaningfully to team projects and want to leave a positive footprint.

If you’re a DevOps Engineer looking to get in early and grow with a business that’s serious about evolution, this could be the one.
