Job Description
Senior DevOps Engineer
Nationwide, Hybrid, 50% office attendance where you live within reasonable commuting distance of an NEC SWS office, SC eligibility required
Join us and help shape the future of mission-critical applications across large national public service systems. We’re seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to join a talented team of experts dedicated to delivering secure, scalable, and high-performing solutions.
The role offers the opportunity to contribute across major national programmes, spanning justice and probation, national licensing, and beyond. It is well suited to an engineer who wants real technical influence, enjoys helping teams succeed, and wants to play a meaningful part in developing the next generation of large-scale public-sector services.
What You’ll Do
Take ownership of cloud infrastructure from provisioning through to day-to-day operations, working closely with our Solutions Architect on significant changes.
Use Infrastructure as Code as the default for everything, maintaining and improving our setup as the infrastructure evolves.
Keep our CI/CD pipelines fast and reliable. When something breaks or slows down, you investigate and fix it properly rather than patching around it.
Monitor environments to track performance, uptime, and resource usage. Responding and troubleshooting any issues that might arise.
Stay curious about what is happening in the industry. If there is a better way to do something, we want to hear about it. Bring ideas, run spikes and make the case. We’re open to changing how we work when there is a good reason to.
Work closely with wider teams to understand needs and provide DevOps solutions.
Qualifications
What We’re Looking For
Several years running cloud infrastructure in production on AWS. Experience with Azure is a bonus.
Knowledge of Terraform (Teragrunt is a bonus) beyond the basics. You’ve managed complex estates, written reusable modules, and worked across multiple environments.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and ArgoCD in a production context.
Ability to write Python or Bash to automate.
Experience with CI/CD (CircleCI is a bonus) at a level where you have created pipelines, not just used them. You understand the security considerations and have thought about deployment from a risk perspective.
