Job summary

Williams Racing is seeking an experienced DevOps/SRE engineer to design, build and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments. You will contribute to developer tooling, CI/CD improvements and incident response, enabling self-service for engineers and AI-driven workflows.

Responsibilities include deploying Kubernetes clusters, defining IaC patterns, and ensuring security, scaling and reliability.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering or related field.
• Experience with Kubernetes provisioning and lifecycle management (AKS, EKS, on-prem).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Helm.
• Experience with containerisation and orchestration with Docker, Helm and Operators.
• Experience with cloud platforms, including AWS and/or Azure.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions or similar).
• Experience with GitOps workflows, such as ArgoCD.
• Experience with monitoring, logging and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.
• Experience with scripting and automation in Python, Bash or similar.

Responsibilities

• We design, build and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure that our engineering teams depend on every day.
• We work across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments, spanning AWS, our factory edge and trackside deployments.
• We contribute to developer experience tooling that makes the platform self-service for developers, non-developers and AI-assisted workflows.
• We define infrastructure-as-code patterns and improve CI/CD pipelines.
• We contribute to incident response and help teams adopt modern delivery practices.
• We build platform automation that removes toil.
• We deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters across hybrid-cloud and virtualised environments.
• We define and implement best practices around scaling, security, high availability and multi-tenancy.
• We use Terraform, Crossplane and Helm to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
• We build reusable modules and automation that enable teams to self-serve infrastructure without platform team involvement.
• We enable application delivery through GitOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines and Helm-based deployments.
• We contribute to platform tooling, including CLIs, Claude Code skills and MCP server integrations, to support AI-assisted developer workflows.
• We help teams adopt modern delivery practices through tooling, documentation and coaching.
• We contribute to the self-service deployment platform that enables developers and non-developers alike to ship code without deep infrastructure knowledge.
• We operate production workloads with an SRE mindset, measuring reliability, defining SLOs and reducing toil through automation.
• We contribute to on-call readiness, incident response and root cause analysis.
• We apply security best practices for Kubernetes and support audit and compliance requirements.
