Infrastructure DevOps Engineer

Infrastructure DevOps Engineer // Manchester // Up to £60,000 🚀 Want to take ownership of infrastructure that handles over 25 billion requests every month? I'm working with a Manchester tech startup building the infrastructure that powers web data collection, automation and AI agents. They're operating globally across 195+ countries, and they're now looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to take ownership of their infrastructure as the business scales. This isn't a role where you'll just be managing cloud services. You'll be building, improving and owning the systems that the engineering team relies on every day. What you'll be doing: - Taking ownership of Kubernetes clusters across bare-metal and cloud environments. - Building and improving CI/CD pipelines so engineers can deploy quickly and reliably. - Managing monitoring, observability and infrastructure performance. - Owning SOC 2 processes, incident reporting and infrastructure security. - Troubleshooting infrastructure issues and participating in on-call support. - Making technical decisions around how the platform scales as the company grows. What they're looking for: - Commercial experience running Kubernetes clusters in production. - Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices. - Solid Linux and networking fundamentals. - Experience with self-hosted infrastructure, rather than solely managed cloud services. - Understanding of SOC 2, incident management and on-call responsibilities. - Someone proactive, curious and comfortable taking ownership in a small team. Bonus points for: - Experience with Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry. - Knowledge of Go, Python, Ansible or ArgoCD. - Experience with bare-metal infrastructure, BGP or IP networking. - Personal infrastructure projects. Why join? 🚀 Real ownership: Take responsibility for the infrastructure and influence technical decisions. 🌍 Interesting scale: Work on systems processing billions of requests every month. 📈 Profitable and growing: Join an established, bootstrapped business with strong commercial traction. 🤖 AI infrastructure: Help build the technology supporting the next generation of AI agents and automation. 🌱 Career growth: Join a small engineering team with further hiring and expansion planned.
