Why Confluence?

At Confluence, we’ve always been driven by a commitment to innovation, precision, and partnership in the investment data space. Our global footprint now spans multiple countries, giving our employees the opportunity to get exposure to other countries and cultures. And it stands to reason that none of this would have been possible without the hundreds of hard-working employees who work at Confluence.

More about the role & team

We are hiring for a Senior DevOps Engineer to support a major platform transformation.

You’ll join a team modernising a core solution, moving from a legacy environment to a cloud first architecture on Azure.

This role is focused on building and scaling the platform that underpins our applications. You’ll design and optimise CI/CD pipelines, deliver infrastructure as code, and enable developers to deploy and operate systems more efficiently and reliably.

You’ll work closely with engineering teams, but your primary focus will be on automation, infrastructure, and deployment processes, rather than building product features.

You’ll be joining at a point where the DevOps foundations are still evolving, so there is real opportunity to shape standards, tooling, and ways of working.

Why should you apply?

• Build and scale DevOps foundations, not just maintain them
• Cloud first, Azure environment with modern tooling
• High ownership across CI/CD, infrastructure, and reliability
• Work closely with engineering teams on large scale systems
• Opportunity to shape platform standards and practices

What skills and experience do I need to succeed?

Essential requirements

• Experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform essential)
• Experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working with cloud platforms (Azure preferred, AWS also considered)
• Experience with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
• Scripting or coding experience (Python, PowerShell or similar)
• Understanding of security, compliance, and deployment practices
• Comfortable working across infrastructure and development teams

Desirable requirements

• Experience supporting .NET or web based applications
• Exposure to hybrid or enterprise environments (cloud and on-prem)
• Experience with release strategies such as blue green or canary deployments
• Exposure to financial services or data platforms
• Experience with modern cloud architecture patterns
