to GBPhighly competitive + benefits

This role addresses how an engineering company deploys the software component of their automated robotic systems for client companies. Deployment is virtualised, containerised, and automated via Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and may be cloud-based or on-premises. Hence, this role extends beyond DevOps and CI/CD into architectural and security considerations.

You will have:
• A good degree in a technical subject from a Russell Group or equivalent university, backed by strong A-level grades.
• Extensive prior commercial experience in platform engineering within a secure, virtualised, containerised environment using IaC, both cloud and on-premises.
• Strong knowledge of AWS / Azure; extensive experience with Terraform and Ansible; good scripting skills in bash or similar.
• Good communication skills (written and verbal in English) and a collaborative approach.

Additional experience in the life sciences, consultancy, or client/stakeholder engagement, requirements capture, robotics, or electronics is beneficial, as is more extensive knowledge of security considerations.
