DevOps Engineer

We are excited to be working with a fast\-growing, product\-led startup. Built on fairness, transparency, and a strong customer\-first ethos, they’ve already gained serious traction and are now entering a key scaling phase. The business operates a high\-traffic digital marketplace and is moving from a founder\-led, hands\-on engineering approach to a more structured, scalable infrastructure setup. This is a chance to join at a pivotal moment where you can genuinely shape how things are built, run, and improved. **About the Role** This is a hands\-on DevOps / Platform Engineering role focused on reliability, performance, and continuous improvement of a live production system. You’ll work closely with engineers and leadership to take ownership of infrastructure and operations, helping move from reactive processes to a more robust, scalable, and automated environment. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, solving real\-world problems, and building best practices from the ground up rather than inheriting rigid processes. **Responsibilities** * Own day\-to\-day platform reliability, performance, and monitoring * Act as the first point of contact for production issues and incident response * Improve system performance, stability, and scalability through proactive changes * Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability tools * Support CI/CD pipelines and release processes * Manage cloud infrastructure (AWS) and production environments * Identify opportunities for automation and reduce manual operational work * Work closely with engineers to ensure smooth rollouts and fast feedback loops * Contribute to incident reviews and continuous improvement practices * Support integrations, partners, and external data sources where needed\| **Why it’s exciting** * You’ll have real ownership, not just maintaining systems, but shaping them * Join at a stage where your impact is visible and immediate * Work directly with senior stakeholders and influence technical direction * Move a growing platform from “startup mode” to scalable, reliable infrastructure * No heavy bureaucracy just smart people solving meaningful problems * A chance to step into what might traditionally be an “SRE” space without the corporate overhead or rigid definitions **Details** * **Salary: £50,000** * **Location: UK\-based (Remote)** * **Tech: AWS, Linux, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, modern web/mobile stack** * **Experience: Background in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or similar roles** **If this sounds like you, apply below** Whether you come from a DevOps, Platform, or SRE background, if you enjoy building reliable systems, taking ownership, and working in a fast\-moving environment, we’d love to hear from you.
