What we are looking for

• Strong commercial experience in a DevOps, platform, cloud or site reliability engineering role.
• Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure in a production environment.
• Experience with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD, Git-based workflows and automated deployment practices.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes or a comparable container orchestration platform.
• Good scripting skills and confidence troubleshooting Linux, networking and application infrastructure issues.

What is on offer
