We’re making a key hire into our DevOps function here at Cubiq.

We are a specialist Tech and Engineering recruitment partner. We work across sectors like DevOps, ML, AI, ERP, aerospace, defence and clean tech, helping companies find skilled people quickly and effectively. With over 15 years of experience and a strong delivery record, we focus on building long‑term partnerships and connecting great talent with growing teams.

Why Cubiq?

• Outputs over inputs - We trust our team, you’re brought on because you’re capable of growing a desk your way. We don’t micromanage or push pointless KPIs
• High‑conversion BD - It’s not a cold‑call approach. People come to us for insight, and it’s a very collaborative sector
• It’s a growing market - Cloud‑native engineering continues to expand, we’ve had a brilliant 2025 so far in the DevOps area. Budgets are healthy, and talent demand is constant
• You’ll have expert support - from those who know the market inside out

The Role & Market

We’ve built a strong reputation in the DevOps, MLOps, and Cloud Engineering space, through trusted partnerships and a genuine interest in the market. We want to be known for being informed, transparent, and hands‑on, whether that’s building out engineering teams, sharing insight with hiring managers, or supporting long‑term talent strategies, and how we operate is defined by that.

The DevOps community is packed with knowledge sharing and collaboration, and where teams are built on curiosity and trust. You’ll be working alongside James Husher, who leads our DevOps practice and is widely recognised in the industry, regularly receiving public endorsement from clients and candidates. You’ll work closely with him to grow out a high‑demand market offering around an already warm customer base.

What are we looking for

What you’ll do

• Focus on technical hiring across DevOps, Cloud, Platform, and Site Reliability Engineering
• Build relationships with hiring managers in SaaS, Consultancies, end users and more
• Deliver full 360 recruitment (sourcing, BD, closing, and ongoing account management)
• Work alongside a team with strong traction and established credibility in the space
• Contribute to scaling a specialist desk with the support of a highly experienced and supportive Manager

Benefits

• Highly established and recognised brand to leverage
• A super‑experienced & driven team to learn from
• Warm clients in DevOps and its related markets
• Commission structure up to 30% (Paid monthly)
• Annual Holiday allowance (increasing by 1 each year)
• Clear progression route to Directorship
