London | Hybrid working | £100k to £105k

A growing online retailer is looking for someone to help modernise a cloud platform that has evolved over the past decade.

The business has built a successful product and strong engineering team, but now wants to take the platform into its next phase. They are looking for a DevOps leader who still enjoys being hands on with the technology while helping a small team level up how they work.

This role sits right in the middle of that transformation.

You will split your time between working with the platform and helping shape how the DevOps team operates. It is roughly a 50 50 balance between hands on engineering and leadership.

The environment is already running in AWS with Kubernetes and Python, alongside MariaDB, MySQL and Postgres. The opportunity is to modernise the platform, improve automation and help shape the DevOps culture as the business continues to grow.

This role would suit someone who has recently stepped into leadership but still enjoys solving technical problems and improving how platforms run in production.

Hybrid working with two days per week in the London office.

If you enjoy improving platforms rather than just maintaining them, feel free to message me and I would be happy to share more details.
