Requirements

Proven experience in a site reliability, DevOps, platform, or production engineering role, operating systems a business depends on.
Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g. Python, PowerShell, Bash).
Comfortable working in both Windows and Linux environments.
Willingness to work shifts: the team works a rotating early/late weekday pattern, with occasional weekend work some participation in an on-call rotas.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (e.g. GitLab) and deployment orchestration platforms (e.g. Octopus Deploy).
Experience with configuration-management and automation frameworks (e.g. Ansible).
Experience building and tuning monitoring and alerting (e.g. Checkmk, Elasticsearch/Kibana, Grafana, Prometheus).
Strong troubleshooting instincts and root-cause discipline - not satisfied until the class of problem is fixed, not just the instance.
Strong communication skills - able to convey technically complex subjects clearly to developers and partner teams.
Understanding and practical application of security models (e.g. RBAC) and certificate management.
A working understanding of the infrastructure layer - compute, networking, storage, identity - and how software behaves on top of it.
B.S. in a technical discipline or equivalent experience.

Help run the production estate day to day: deployments, platform operations, capacity, certificates, and health checks across environments and tenants.

Operate the monitoring and alerting stack.
Own safe delivery to production: design and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitLab and deployment orchestration in Octopus Deploy.
Build and productionize the team's tooling with CI, tests, and documentation as standard.
Act as the bridge between development teams and the infrastructure teams.
