? We're Hiring: JFrog Artifactory SME – Remote Contract (UK-based)

We’re looking for a hands-on JFrog Artifactory Specialist to join a fully remote DevOps transformation project for a well-known enterprise in the financial data and technology sector. This is a critical role within a wider initiative focused on improving software supply chain security and developer experience across the business.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit team of platform engineers and DevSecOps consultants supporting enterprise clients through strategic, technical change. The environment is collaborative, delivery-focused, and engineering-led -and we’re looking for someone who’s confident stepping in and owning the platform from day one.

? Location: Remote (UK-based candidates only)

? Contract Type: Inside IR35

? Start Date: ASAP

? What you’ll do:

• Take full ownership of the JFrog Artifactory platform — from administration to long-term improvement.
• Act as the main point of contact between the platform engineering team and internal technical stakeholders.
• Lead zero-downtime upgrades, ensure scalability and security, and champion platform reliability.
• Work closely with DevSecOps and CI/CD teams to embed Artifactory as a key part of the developer platform and software supply chain.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience administering JFrog Artifactory in production environments — ideally with platform ownership responsibilities.
• Comfortable with installations, upgrades, HA setups, and platform performance monitoring.
• Experience with JFrog Xray or similar artifact security tooling (Snyk, Nexus IQ, etc.).
• Strong stakeholder and communication skills — able to act as an SME and trusted advisor.
• Background in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.
• Familiarity with tools like Terraform, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

If you’re someone who thrives in ownership roles, enjoys solving complex platform challenges, and understands how Artifactory fits into a modern DevSecOps ecosystem, we’d love to hear from you.
