• Contribute to platform control plane capabilities (e.g. Kubernetes-based or API-driven approaches)
• Define and manage Azure resources using Terraform, Bicep and declarative approaches
• • Embed security, governance and policy into platform defaults
• Support GitOps-driven workflows and CI/CD pipelines
• Improve observability, reliability and operational readiness

Who You Are

Essential:

• Experience in Azure, cloud engineering, DevOps or platform roles
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience
• Scripting (PowerShell, Bash or Python)
• CI/CD and Git-based workflows

Role: DevOps Manager

Location: Remote - UK-based preferred
Salary: Up to £70k plus benefits

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take full control of the build, release, and deployment landscape for a suite of Java-based enterprise applications.

You ll be the one making sure everything flows as it should-from code commit through to deployment- smoothly, reliably, and without drama.

Pipelines breaking? Fix them.
Builds taking too long? Speed them up.
Manual processes creeping in? Automate them away.

You ll be working closely with developers, QA, and project teams, but this is very much a hands-on role where you ll have the freedom to own the DevOps space and shape how things are done.

The environment you re stepping into is a well-established software house with a strong Java focus. There s a solid foundation in place, but plenty of opportunity to improve, optimise, and modernise how things are done-especially around automation, documentation, and future cloud strategy.

Day to day, you ll be getting stuck into things like:

• Building and refining CI/CD pipelines for Java applications
• Integrating IBM EWM/RTC into automated workflows
• Maintaining and improving scripts that handle server installs and upgrades
• Embedding code quality checks through SonarQube
• Managing Maven-based builds and release processes
• Packaging and deploying applications into Wildfly and SQL Server environments
• Working with engineers to remove bottlenecks in the delivery process
• Documenting everything clearly so nothing lives only in your head

The tech for this mission is:

• Java & Maven
• IBM EWM / RTC
• CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• SonarQube
• InstallAnywhere
• Wildfly & Microsoft SQL Server
• Scripting (Bash, Python, Groovy)

There s also a bit of a what next? element to this role.

If you ve got experience (or interest) in Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), or Infrastructure as Code, you ll have the chance to influence where things go next- particularly as the business looks at evolving its infrastructure.

This is one of those roles where you won t be buried in tickets all day.

You ll have the space to step back, look at the bigger picture, and improve systems properly- not just patch over cracks. If something s inefficient, you fix it. If something s missing, you build it.

You ll need to be someone who genuinely enjoys making systems better. Someone who spots problems before they become problems, and takes pride in clean, reliable, well-documented solutions.

It s a fully remote setup, flexible, and built around trust. No micromanagement, no unnecessary noise just a team focused on building solid software properly.

If you like the idea of owning the DevOps function and making a real impact across how software is delivered, this could be right up your street.

If this sounds like it was made for you, get in touch and let s have a chat about your next move.

This advert will self-destruct in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
