Newcastle upon Tyne (On-site / Hybrid)

We’re building something special in Newcastle and we need the very best. This isn’t a role for average engineers — we’re only interested in outstanding DevOps talent with elite academic backgrounds (Russell Group or better), proven coding ability, and the hunger to solve big problems at pace.

You’ll be part of a team that sets the standard for technical excellence in the North East, working on complex challenges with real-world impact. If you’ve got the brains, the drive, and the curiosity, this is where you’ll thrive.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing and automating infrastructure and environments at scale


• Owning and evolving CI/CD pipelines that keep delivery fast and reliable


• Building advanced monitoring, diagnostics, and automation solutions


• Working side by side with business users to deliver at pace


• Collaborating with some of the sharpest technical minds in the UK

Experience required

• Strong coding ability in C#, Java, Python or similar


• PowerShell or equivalent scripting expertise


• CI/CD tooling (TeamCity or similar)


• Monitoring with ELK, Grafana or equivalent


• Minimum 2:1 degree in Computer Science (or related field) — ideally from a Russell Group university

Nice to have

• Atlassian toolset (JIRA, Bitbucket)


• Static analysis tools (SonarQube)


• Cloud experience (Azure, AWS, GCP)


• VMware and SAN knowledge

Why this is different

• Join a high-calibre team in Newcastle where only the best make the cut


• Work on projects with global significance and real-world impact


• Own technical delivery from day one


• Learn directly from industry-leading experts


• Thrive in a culture that values curiosity, pace, and excellence

If you’re among the best — academically, technically, and personally — this is where you’ll be challenged and rewarded.
