DevOps Engineer \| Up to £55k \| Remote-first (Manchester, 1x monthly meetup)
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a growing tech company, taking ownership of key infrastructure projects and contributing to a strong, collaborative DevOps culture. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on meaningful greenfield initiatives while developing your technical and leadership skills.
A significant part of this role involves rebuilding parts of the infrastructure and migrating from Bitbucket to GitHub. You’ll play a pivotal role in advocating for scalable, repeatable, and secure platform engineering practices, working closely with development, QA, and SRE teams. You’ll get to blend hands-on technical work with opportunities to mentor and guide others, gaining experience in production operations, incident response, Infrastructure as Code, and modern DevOps best practices.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Lead greenfield infrastructure projects, including Bitbucket to GitHub migration.
Standardise and optimise CI/CD workflows, bringing automation where it adds value.
Collaborate across development, QA, and SRE teams to build secure, cost-effective, repeatable systems.
Mentor junior engineers and share technical expertise across the team.
Document infrastructure, platform tooling, and CI/CD processes.
Help ensure lower environments align with production standards.
Skills \& Experience We’re Looking For:
3–4 years’ experience in DevOps or platform engineering.
Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway).
Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
Understanding of containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
Solid grasp of networking, IAM, and platform security.
Experience with databases (MySQL, DynamoDB, Snowflake).
Comfortable scripting in Bash, Python, or Go.
Collaborative mindset, strong communication, and interest in mentoring and knowledge sharing.
This is a hands-on role with real influence, ideal for someone ready to take ownership of infrastructure projects, work in a collaborative DevOps culture, and grow their leadership capabilities.
Salary: Up to £55k (depending on experience)
