Job description

What you tell your friends you do

"DevOps is about connecting code to production. I help build secure, reliable infrastructure, automate delivery, and keep systems running smoothly under pressure."

What you will really be doing

• Build, deploy and operate cloud infrastructure using networking, containerization and infrastructure as code to take Aize’s products from idea to production.
• Improve developer tooling, automation and internal platforms, with clear documentation and maintainable code that helps teams work efficiently.
• Strengthen reliability through monitoring and observability, helping teams detect and resolve issues early.
• Apply security and compliance practices throughout infrastructure and delivery pipelines.
• Create clear documentation and maintainable, production-ready code.
• Collaborate with developers, SREs, DataOps, and other stakeholders to deliver effective solutions.

How you will be doing this

• You’ll collaborate openly with teammates and stakeholders, communicate clearly, and contribute positively to team dynamics.
• You’ll break work into manageable tasks, clarify requirements early, and keep others informed about progress or potential delays.
• A big part of your role is learning, improving, and automating. You’ll investigate problems, debug effectively, participate in code reviews, and ask for help before getting stuck in unnecessary rabbit holes.
• Take ownership of your work, deliver what you commit to, and look for ways to improve the systems, processes and developer experience around you.

What we are working on

Our team is building an Internal Development Platform that helps Aize teams get started and stay productive, with the freedom to create and manage the resources their services need.

An MVP is already used by most of our development teams, and we’re now making it easier to use, more flexible and more automated, with clearer documentation and plug-and-play components such as Terraform modules. As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll help develop and operate the platform while building your experience in cloud infrastructure, networking, security, observability, and DevSecOps practices.

Who we think you are

• You are humble, open, collaborative, and constructive in how you work withothers.
• You have experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, software development, or a related field, with a solid understanding of networking, containers, security, infrastructure as code and observability.
• You’ve worked hands‑on with cloud platforms, ideally Azure, and tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, AKS and Terraform.
• You’re comfortable with Python or Bash, Linux, Git, CI/CD and GitOps.
• You write clear, maintainable code and infrastructure, understand automated testing, and can contribute to unit and integration tests.
• You take ownership, break work into manageable tasks, set priorities, and communicate progress or challenges early.
• You’re comfortable debugging, taking part in code reviews and giving constructive feedback.
• You’re collaborative and open to learning, understand how your team contributes to Aize’s goals, and take responsibility for your continued development.

Nice to Have

Database knowledge, cloud security experience, Azure Networking, and experience contributing to internal platforms or developer tooling.

Tech Stack

Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, AKS, Terraform, Python, Bash, Linux, Grafana, Prometheus, Git, GitLab CI/CD, and GitOps.

Team

You’ll join a DevOps team distributed across the UK and Norway, consisting of a Software Development Manager, a Tech Lead, and DevOps Engineers with varying levels of experience. You’ll work closely with teammates across locations, contribute to team initiatives, share what you learn, and develop your skills in a supportive environment that values growth and collaboration.

Grounded, human, unstoppable are the values that guide our day-to-day. If that aligns with how you like to work, we’d love to hear from you.

• Money
• Hybrid work and flexible hours
• A MacBook or laptop running Windows, so you can get shit (work) done
