I'm looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a digital-first organisation operating high-volume ecommerce and customer-facing platforms. This role sits within a Digital Operations environment and focuses on
production stability, reliability, and operational excellence, rather than pure greenfield build work.
You'll play a key role in keeping live platforms running smoothly, monitoring systems, resolving incidents, and working closely with development teams to prevent issues before they impact customers. It's a hands-on role for someone who enjoys ownership, investigation, and improving how things run day to day.
Responsibilities
Own monitoring and support of production environments across ecommerce and digital platforms
Manage production SSL certificates, encryption keys, and CDN services (e.g. Cloudflare or Akamai)
Proactively monitor logs and performance metrics, identifying issues before they escalate
Investigate incidents, perform root cause analysis, and raise clear actions into development backlogs
Work closely with development teams to resolve incidents and improve platform reliability
Support daily order processing systems, resolving failures or anomalies that affect customer experience
Run and contribute to post-incident reviews, feeding improvements back into operations
Support and contribute to automation across monitoring, alerting, and deployment
Help embed DevOps best practice and continuous improvement across the team
Experience / What you bring
Hands-on experience in a DevOps, operations, or platform support role
Strong understanding of production monitoring, log analysis, and incident management
Experience managing SSL certificates, key rotation, and production security controls
Background supporting ecommerce or high-availability digital platforms
Familiarity with ticketing / backlog tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps
Experience working with CDN platforms such as Cloudflare or Akamai
Strong problem-solving skills and clear communication when handling incidents
Desirable
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)
Scripting or automation experience (Bash, Python, PowerShell)
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code
Knowledge of containerisation (Docker and/or Kubernetes)
