We’re looking for a sharp, innovative DevOps Engineer who not only excels in CI/CD practices but also loves to code. You’ll be a key member of our globally distributed team, driving the design, development, and continuous improvement of our CI/CD pipelines and automation tools that empower our software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Design & Develop CI/CD Pipelines: Architect, build, and maintain resilient, scalable CI/CD systems that serve multiple products across diverse environments.

• Collaborate Globally: Partner with cross‑functional teams and technical stakeholders worldwide to assess current DevOps practices, identify gaps, and implement improvements.
• Drive Innovation: Lead technical sessions and workshops with development teams, promoting agile practices and modern DevOps methodologies.
• Document & Educate: Produce clear, comprehensive documentation for CI/CD platforms, ensuring best practices and system capabilities are easily accessible to all teams.

Required Skills & Experience

• Advanced Scripting & Automation: Proven expertise in writing and maintaining scripts with a focus on test‑driven development (experience with Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.).
• Solid Systems Background: A BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields plus experience in system administration or a similar role.
• CI/CD Pipeline: Hands‑on experience with building and managing modern CI/CD pipelines, particularly using tools like Jenkins (including pipeline‑as‑code) or equivalent platforms.
• Collaboration & Communication: Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively across diverse, global teams while clearly articulating technical concepts.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Multi‑Platform Experience: Background in managing heterogeneous environments (Linux, Windows, macOS) in production settings.
• Configuration Management Expertise: Experience using tools such as Puppet or Ansible to enforce state across large fleets.
• Containerization & Virtualization: Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and virtualization technologies (VMware, etc.), including deployment on cloud platforms like AWS.
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Experience with scaling infrastructure‑as‑code practices across hybrid on‑premise and cloud systems.
• Build & Package Management: Proficiency with complex build systems, package management tools, artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), and security scanning.
• Monitoring & Logging: Ability to design and implement effective monitoring solutions, including custom metrics instrumentation and dashboarding.
• Version Control: In‑depth knowledge of version control systems (Git, SVN, Gerrit) and code review workflows.

This position can be based in either our Edinburgh office or London office.
