DevOps Engineer

We're working exclusively with a major financial institution to hire a contract DevOps Engineer into their engineering team. This is a rare opportunity to own a mission-critical security capability - the last line of defence in the event of a ransomware attack.

Key info:

Location: City of London

Work Type: Contract (Inside IR35)

Hybrid model: 2 days a week onsite

The Role:

You'll design, implement, automate and maintain a largely autonomous cleanroom (Ransomware Recovery) environment, enabling the rapid recovery of affected systems into ring-fenced environments where they can be analysed, cleansed and restored to production. You'll protect and recover both application data and infrastructure configuration data across a large estate spanning Europe and the Americas.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading infrastructural improvements in security, recovery and automation
• Day-to-day support of the cleanroom environment, including incident, problem and change management
• Ensuring systems meet security and vulnerability management standards
• Working across compute, converged, storage, backup and archive environments
• Building and delivering cutting-edge, highly automated recovery solutions in a small expert team

Required skills:

• VMware Cloud Foundation Automation (formerly known as VMware Aria Automation/vRealize automation)

Preferred skills:

• Terraform
• Ansible

What we're looking for:

An experienced, versatile engineer and genuine self-starter. You'll be comfortable operating with autonomy, thrive in a small high-calibre team, and bring tangible value from day one. The scope of this role means you'll continually broaden your skills across multiple technologies - ideal for someone who enjoys breadth as much as depth!
