What Will You Do❓

  • Own and improve the reliability, scalability, and day-to-day operability of our production platform.
  • Design and evolve deployment workflows that make shipping safer, faster, and morepredictable for engineering teams.
  • Improve our Kubernetes workloads and surrounding runtime concerns - configuration, secrets handling, resource usage, resilience, and environment consistency.
  • Raise the bar for observability: make failures easier to detect, debug, and learn from through pragmatic monitoring, alerting, and instrumentation.
  • Partner closely with application engineers to improve developer experience, reduce toil, and remove infrastructure bottlenecks that slow delivery down.
  • Operate with autonomy: identify operational risks, propose sensible improvements, and follow through without needing to be managed.

Who Will Excel❓

  • Experience supporting PHP/Symfony application estates or similar service-oriented web platforms.
  • Experience with Cloud SQL / MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, or similar managed data and messaging components.
  • Background working across a mixed estate of legacy and modern services, where incremental improvement matters more than greenfield purity.
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform or similar).
  • Cost optimisation, capacity planning, or performance tuning experience in a production cloud environment.
  • Experience improving internal developer platforms, golden paths, or self-service tooling for engineering teams.

What We Offer You❗

  • Curated career progression planning with formal yearly reviews and informal check-ins along the way.
  • Encouragement to grow into a Feature Development Lead.
  • A competitive salary.
  • Ample time to learn new concepts - including paid development and business-related conferences.
  • Fully remote working, no commuting expenses.
  • Flexible work hours. We'll need you around for a 10am stand-up; otherwise you work as and when it suits you.
  • 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), with an additional day per year of service.
  • Regular all-company socials and quarterly team socials.
  • A team that genuinely likes learning and shipping together.
