DevOps Engineer
Summary
Build and scale secure AWS-based infrastructure for AI systems, owning CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and containerized deployments while mentoring junior engineers and managing client relationships.
Location: Predominantly home-based, with occasional travel to client sites in London. Ideally based near Bristol, Cheltenham, Manchester
Clearance: SC cleared or clearable
About the client
SR2 is supporting one of our long standing consultancy clients who are on a mission to make the UK the safest place to work online. They deliver highly secure, technically challenging projects for UK Government clients. They invest heavily in their people - regular team socials, an annual company trip, five fully paid training days a year, and genuine career progression.
The role
You'll join a small, fast-paced agile delivery team, taking a leading role across the project lifecycle - from architecture and build through to managing customer relationships. There's a big, brand-new AI project on offer right now, genuinely exciting stuff, but very confidential at this stage. It involves taking a newly designed AI system and implementing/scaling it into a live working environment. It requires standard security clearance so ideally you will be cleared already or happy to go through clearance.
What you'll do
- Build and operate CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code
- Design platform services for deployment, operation and monitoring of containerised products
- Build new infrastructure (not just maintain existing environments)
- Work in public/private cloud, primarily AWS
- Support Agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban), mentor junior team members, manage customer relationships
What we're looking for
- Strong AWS experience essential (AWS-focused, not Azure)
- Solid grounding in security principles and secure-by-design practices
- Experience with CI/CD, containerisation, IaC, testing frameworks
- Comfortable leading design work and mentoring early-career engineers
- Group pension scheme with matched employer contributions
- Private health insurance after probation, with option to add family cover
- Life insurance and personal accident cover
- Health & wellbeing cash plan (dental, optical, physio and more)
- Employee assistance programme
- Cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan, and interest-free PC loan
- Stock purchase plan with company top-up
- Five fully paid training days a year and clear routes for career progression
The role is home based with adhoc travel to London. 2 stage interview happening asap.
