Working closely with our Lead DevOps Engineer, you'll gain hands-on experience in automating, deploying, and maintaining development and production environments across both cloud and on-premise platforms. You'll be supported through structured mentoring and real-world projects to build your skills in CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and system monitoring.
Key Responsibilities

• Support the maintenance and improvement of build and deployment pipelines.
• Assist in monitoring application and infrastructure performance.
• Help ensure environment consistency through automation and scripting.
• Learn and use tools such as Azure DevOps, Git, Jenkins, and other CI/CD platforms.
• Shadow and assist with Infrastructure as Code using tools like ARM templates or Terraform.
• Write basic scripts to automate deployment and configuration tasks.
• Contribute to documentation of systems, processes, and configurations.
• Provide basic support for operational issues and deployment queries.
• Participate in team meetings and contribute to technical discussions.
• Build foundational knowledge of cloud infrastructure (e.g., Azure) and virtualised environments.
• Work towards understanding secure deployment practices and DevSecOps principles.

What We're Looking For
Essential:

• Experience in a 2nd line ICT support or similar infrastructure role.
• Exposure to enterprise infrastructure environments (servers, networks, virtualisation).
• Experience supporting Windows environments; some exposure to Linux is a plus.
• Strong communication skills - both written and verbal.
• Good understanding of Windows Server OS and networking fundamentals (DNS, firewalls, routing).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS).
• Basic scripting experience (PowerShell, Bash, or similar).

Desirable:

• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and version control tools (e.g., Git, Azure DevOps).
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, ARM templates).
• Awareness of containerisation technologies (e.g., Docker, AKS).

Why Join Us?

• A supportive environment with structured mentoring and development opportunities.
• Flexible remote working with occasional travel to our London office.
• The chance to grow into a full DevOps role and shape your career in a fast-evolving field.
