As aDevOps Engineer, you will play a key role in defining and advancing the DevOps strategy across the organisation. Acting as a technical authority, you will partner closely with engineering, product, and architecture teams—both onshore and offshore—to implement best-in-class DevOps practices and evolve a modern, serverless AWS platform.

You will have significant influence over tooling, architecture, and ways of working, helping to mature the DevOps function and embedding reliability, security, and automation at scale.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise across DevOps and cloud engineering
  • Influence architectural and technology decisions, particularly within AWS serverless ecosystems
  • Design, build and evolve robust CI/CD pipelines to support rapid, reliable software delivery
  • Partner with development teams to ensure solutions are scalable, resilient, and production-ready
  • Champion reliability engineering practices, including monitoring, alerting, and incident response
  • Drive high availability and operational excellence through proactive troubleshooting and optimisation
  • Define and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Immutable Infrastructure standards
  • Lead and contribute to design reviews, architectural discussions and code reviews
  • Establish strong security practices, ensuring systems and data are protected by design
  • Mentor and support engineers, fostering collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement
  • Stay ahead of emerging DevOps and cloud technologies, introducing improvements where valuable
What We’re Looking For
  • Significant experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering roles within cloud-native environments
  • Strong software engineering background, preferably with hands-on development experience
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
  • A pragmatic, collaborative approach with excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • A platform-engineering mindset, with deep understanding of trade-offs and designing for failure
  • Strong, hands-on AWS experience, including: Lambda, DynamoDB, AWS SAM
  • Solid networking and security knowledge, including VPCs, security groups and VPNs
Technologies You’ll Work With
  • AWS Cloud Services & AWS Developer Tools
  • JavaScript / TypeScript & Node.js
  • SQL
  • Git
  • Docker & ECS
  • Serverless Framework
  • Developer security platforms

This is a senior-level opportunity to shape platforms, influence engineering standards, and play a central role in delivering high-quality, cloud-native solutions at scale.

If you’re ready to lead, influence, and build the future of DevOps, we’d love to hear from you.

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
