Job Description

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

Are you an elite-level DevOps professional ready to take ownership of the technical direction and execution of a cutting-edge platform? We are seeking a Staff DevOps Engineer to join our Platform Engineering and Services Team (PEST). In this high-impact role, you will be the central technical authority, responsible for designing, building, and scaling our Internal Developer Platform (IDP). If you are a visionary who treats infrastructure as a core product, thrives on solving the most ambiguous technical challenges, and has a passion for pushing cloud-native boundaries—including leveraging AI for next-level automation—this is your opportunity to drive systemic change across the entire engineering organisation.

(We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the confidence gap. You don’t have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role.)

We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work.

For the Staff DevOps Engineer, the challenge isn't just maintaining systems—it's treating reliability and velocity as architectural products. If the idea of engineering 'rainbow deployments' for A/B testing, migrating thousands of containers with zero downtime, and using AI to auto-generate IaC excites you, then you belong here. This role offers the scope, complexity, and autonomy required to move beyond incremental change and truly redefine what high-performance infrastructure means for a modern software organisation.

There’s access to the tools to support your personal development with programmes on our dedicated learning platform. As well as support for your mental health with access to counselling.

We’ll match what you put into your pension up to five per cent. And pass on a tax-free sum that’s four times your basic salary with our life assurance policy, with the option to increase it to ten times through our flexible benefit scheme

Our salary sacrifice car scheme gives you the option to buy a brand new, fully insured, and maintained car for a convenient fixed monthly amount taken from your gross salary (after 6 months service).
