London, UK
Summary: The role of DevOps Engineer involves working in a dynamic environment to support infrastructure and platform engineering tasks. The position requires hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud infrastructure management. The candidate will be responsible for deploying and configuring workloads, managing containerized applications, and ensuring effective communication with non-technical stakeholders. This is a 12-month contract based in London, requiring three days in the office each week.
Key Responsibilities:
- Proven experience in a DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering role
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes - deploying, configuring, and operating workloads in a shared or managed cluster environment
- Experience containerising applications: writing Dockerfiles, managing images, publishing to a registry, and debugging container-level issues
- Strong networking fundamentals: DNS, TLS/SSL certificates, Firewall rules, load balancing, VPNs, and service-to-service connectivity
- Comfort operating in environments where the architecture is still being defined - able to contribute to the decision, then execute once direction is set
- Hands-on experience with RHEL (or equivalent enterprise Linux) - provisioning, hardening, package management (yum/dnf), systemd services
- Experience managing cloud infrastructure, ideally in an enterprise private/hybrid cloud environment
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code or configuration management tooling (eg Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or similar)
- Solid Scripting ability in Bash and at least one higher-level language (Python preferred)
- Experience with monitoring and observability tooling (eg, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar)
- Strong incident diagnosis skills - able to work from vague symptoms to root cause using logs, metrics, and reasoning
- Comfortable working with AI-generated or AI-assisted codebases: reading, extending, and debugging solutions without a full traditional authorship history
- Clear written and verbal communication - able to translate infrastructure complexity for non-technical stakeholders.
Key Skills:
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or similar
- Shell Scripting
- Python Scripting
