This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where you'll help shape and evolve our internal developer platform, enabling teams across the business to build, test and deliver high-quality software with confidence.

If you're someone who enjoys automation, continuous improvement and working with modern cloud technologies, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Designing, building and supporting our internal developer platform
• Developing and improving infrastructure-as-code capabilities to create consistent, repeatable environments
• Maintaining and enhancing CI/CD tooling and build automation frameworks
• Supporting deployment automation and helping teams deliver reliable releases to production
• Working closely with development teams to improve scalability, performance, security and reliability
• Identifying opportunities to automate manual processes and improve developer experience
• Championing cloud engineering best practice, security and operational excellence

What we’re looking for

• Strong software engineering experience with .NET and/or PowerShell
• Hands-on experience working within Agile and DevOps environments
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Azure
• Experience designing secure, compliant cloud infrastructure
• Infrastructure-as-code expertise using Bicep, ARM Templates, Terraform or similar tools
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Knowledge of tools such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, TeamCity, Jenkins or Octopus Deploy
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Understanding of SQL Server and NoSQL technologies such as Cosmos DB or RavenDB
• Exposure to secure development practices including SAST, SBOM generation and vulnerability scanning

At System C, you'll work alongside talented people who care deeply about making a difference. We foster a supportive environment where people can bring their authentic selves to work, learn new skills, take ownership and grow their careers.

We offer:

• Flexible benefits and wellbeing support
• Private healthcare and pension options
• Learning and development opportunities
• Recognition through our Values Awards
• A collaborative culture built around teamwork, accountability, continuous improvement and integrity

At System C, we believe great work happens when flexibility and collaboration come together. All our roles are offered on a hybrid basis, with colleagues spending a minimum of two days each week in the office to connect, create, and grow together. (Excludes associate and field-based roles).

We prioritise transparency in our job requirements and selection criteria, ensuring they are based solely on the essentials needed for effective job performance. We consciously avoid assumptions that could skew our perception of a candidate’s suitability for hire.

Our recruitment practices are designed to ensure that no applicant is unfairly disadvantaged by procedures or requirements that disproportionately affect protected groups without being essential for the job.

For every position, we develop a detailed job description and person specification. This approach maintains our focus on the true demands of the role and the skills, experience, and qualifications necessary. During interviews, we involve multiple interviewers where possible to further mitigate unintentional bias, thereby promoting a fair and equitable hiring process.
