Senior DevOps Engineer
Deliveroo
In this role you will own and evolve the core compute, cloud, and IaC platforms used by delivery and restaurant engineers to build at scale. You will work within the Infrastructure team to operate Kubernetes clusters, cloud networking, and self-serve provisioning tools, driving reliability and security. You’ll blend hands-on ops with production-grade automation to reduce toil and enable teams to self-serve environments in AWS. This is a chance to shape scalable infrastructure and tooling that accelerates engineering velocity across a fast-moving, global platform.
