Job description

Networking my way through the UK’s DevOps market one pun at a time | Associate Director @ LinuxRecruit

Fancy joining a security SaaS company? We’re not talking about a platform asking your Mother’s maiden name or making you click through 5 pictures of traffic lights. We’re talking about cutting-edge authentication tech; a company that’s navigated the start‑up journey exactly the right way.

This organisation has firmly carved out its niche and is thriving. With an enviable roster of enterprise customers, they’re gearing up for serious commercial, technical and internal growth in 2026, with ambitious targets already in motion.

To support this expansion, they’re searching for a new Head of DevOps to take ownership of their global infrastructure and platform operations. You’ll be taking stock of existing infrastructure and modernising it alongside your distributed team, responsible for cloud architecture, CI/CD, security, scalability, and everything automation. They want someone who’s not just technically exceptional, but innovative. Someone who lives and breathes modern DevOps tooling, practices, and culture.

But this role goes beyond pipelines and platforms. Passion for the mission is essential. You’ll shape the roadmap, elevate engineering standards, and help drive the company’s evolution. You’ll need the mindset of a builder and the vision of a strategist. Someone who understands growth and knows how to lead a team through it.

These opportunities don’t come around often. A senior leadership role with the scope to genuinely influence one of Europe’s most exciting SaaS players. It’s technology, it’s leadership, it’s scaling, it’s strategy… it’s an opportunity too good to overlook.
