Job summary

XYZ Reality Ltd in London is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to own our cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices powering the BIM Platform. You will work across Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security and developer tooling on a hybrid basis with 3 days in the London office.

The role focuses on building scalable, reliable infrastructure, tooling and self-service capabilities that enable engineering teams to move quickly and safely.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable in-depth experience in DevOps, Infrastructure or Cloud Engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure.
• Deep experience with Kubernetes, including cluster design, networking, storage, upgrades and troubleshooting.
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code experience using Terraform, ARM templates or equivalent.
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions.
• Strong experience with containers and Docker.
• Experience implementing monitoring, logging, alerting and observability within production environments.
• Good knowledge of infrastructure security, including network segmentation, encryption, secrets management and audit logging.
• Experience building automation and tooling using Python, Go, Bash or TypeScript.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and ownership of production infrastructure and incidents.
• The ability to make pragmatic technical decisions and clearly explain infrastructure trade-offs.
• Strong AWS or GCP experience could also be relevant where you can demonstrate the ability to transfer that knowledge into an Azure environment.
• Experience with high-availability infrastructure, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, AI/ML infrastructure, ETL/data pipelines, FinOps or SOC 2/ISO 27001 environments would be a bonus.
• Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys automating away problems rather than repeatedly solving them manually.
• You’ll be comfortable taking ownership, challenging processes that don’t scale and building the tools and practices that make the wider engineering team more effective.

Responsibilities

• Architect, maintain and evolve our Microsoft Azure infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, ARM templates and Helm.
• Design and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, enabling fast, safe and repeatable deployments.
• Build observability across our infrastructure and services through monitoring, logging, alerting and distributed tracing.
• Improve platform reliability, scalability and performance through capacity planning, autoscaling and resource optimisation.
• Build and maintain disaster recovery, backup and failover strategies.
• Strengthen infrastructure security across areas including network policies, secrets management and platform hardening.
• Establish and improve incident response processes, on-call practices, runbooks and blameless post-mortems.
• Work with our Data team to support reliable and scalable PostgreSQL and MongoDB environments.
• Build self-service tooling, templates and documentation that reduce unnecessary reliance on DevOps.
• Support infrastructure for data pipelines and AI/ML model deployment as our technology continues to evolve.
• Partner directly with developers on deployment, troubleshooting and infrastructure best practices.
