Job description

Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy, recognised for delivering impactful and innovative technology solutions across UK government departments. Our work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens.

We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference. Our teams work at the forefront of innovation, helping organisations transform and deliver high-quality, scalable solutions that truly matter.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who can own infrastructure end-to-end — from designing greenfield SaaS environments to supporting on-premise deployments. This role requires deep AWS expertise, working knowledge of Azure, and the maturity to act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for infrastructure-related client engagements. You'll be expected to bring ideas to the table, not wait for a backlog — identifying gaps, proposing solutions, and driving them through to implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Greenfield SaaS infrastructure: Design, build, and maintain infrastructure from the ground up, following cloud-native and scalable architecture principles.
• On-premise deployments: Plan, deploy, and support on-premise infrastructure for clients with hybrid or non-cloud requirements.
• Cloud platforms: Architect, provision, and manage infrastructure primarily on AWS, with working proficiency across Azure services for cross-cloud or client-specific needs.
• Cost optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize infrastructure spend — implement cost governance practices (right-sizing, reserved instances/savings plans, auto-scaling policies, resource cleanup, tagging strategies).
• Client SPOC: Act as the Single Point of Contact for infrastructure matters in client engagements — leading technical discussions, managing expectations, and translating client requirements into technical solutions.
• Best practices: Proactively identify infrastructure risks, inefficiencies, and technical debt; recommend and implement best practices across security, reliability, scalability, and automation.
• Automation: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automated deployment workflows.
• Observability: Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure high availability and rapid incident response.
• Security & compliance: Own the security and compliance posture of infrastructure (IAM policies, network security, patching, backup/DR strategies).
• Collaboration: Work with development, QA, and product teams to ensure infrastructure supports application and business needs.
• Documentation: Maintain architecture diagrams, runbooks, and standard operating procedures for internal and client reference.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps/Infrastructure engineering experience.
• Strong, demonstrable expertise in AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, IAM, Lambda, ECS/EKS,
• Proven experience setting up greenfield SaaS infrastructure from scratch.
• Experience with on-premise infrastructure deployment and management (physical/virtual servers, networking, hybrid connectivity).
• Strong grasp of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or similar).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/ECS).
• Solid understanding of CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to drive cost optimization initiatives with measurable outcomes.
• Strong scripting ability (Bash, Python, or similar) for automation.
• Working knowledge of networking, security fundamentals, and cloud compliance frameworks.

Soft Skills & Working Style

• Self-starter — comfortable identifying problems and driving solutions without waiting for direction.
• Strong client-facing communication skills; confident acting as a technical SPOC in external engagements.
• Ability to translate technical decisions into business impact (cost, risk, timelines) for non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable owning ambiguity in greenfield environments where processes may not yet exist.
• Strong ownership mentality and accountability for infrastructure uptime and cost.
• Good at balancing rapid delivery with long-term maintainability and best practices.

Nice to Have

• Relevant certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator/Architect).
• Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architecture design.
• Exposure to FinOps practices or tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, CloudHealth, etc.).
• Prior experience in a client-facing or consulting-style engineering role.
