DevOps Engineer
Hunter Bond
London (Hybrid)
Salary: Up to £110,000 + Bonus
We're working with an established, global financial technology business, they're hiring a DevOps Engineer to sit embedded within a software engineering team, owning automation, observability and platform reliability across a mixed on-prem and cloud environment - a genuinely differentiated setup in a market where most roles have gone all-in on public cloud.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing and enhancing CI/CD pipelines using current industry best practice
- Building dashboards and alerting to keep production and test environments running smoothly
- Owning service reliability - investigating, resolving, and permanently fixing recurring issues rather than firefighting them
- Writing deployment automation with tools like Helm and Ansible
- Working hands-on with Kubernetes and Kafka as part of platform integration work
- Collaborating closely with development teams and stakeholders to automate their needs early in the delivery lifecycle
What you'll bring:
- Solid hands-on experience (3+ years, 5+ for senior) across Python/shell scripting, Linux, containerisation (Docker/Podman), and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI or similar)
- A track record operating in production environments, with a strong grip on distributed systems and network troubleshooting
- Comfort with Git branching models and configuration management
Nice to have, not essential:
- Kubernetes and Kafka experience
- Experience in a highly regulated environment
- Familiarity with no-downtime/blue-green deployment practices
- iOS/mobile build tooling exposure (Xcode, Swift)
