Lead DevOps Engineer

We’re looking for a very rounded Lead DevOps Engineer to join an EdTech scale-up in East Wiltshire. Would you excel at running a small DevOps team within an established broader tech team?

Background:

• Great knowledge of Azure and the Microsoft ecosystem.
• Already thinking strategically around CI/CD leadership.
• Cloud architecture & infrastructure ownership.
• Database management & scaling.
• Advanced monitoring & incident response strategy.
• Security & compliance leadership.
• Complex networking & hybrid cloud management (they also use AWS).

What you’ll be doing:

We’re really looking for an expert ability to understand and communicate complex software systems, verbally, textually, and diagrammatically. As well as the ability to ensure it’s communicated appropriately. Open minded to multi-cloud environments (eventually migrating all over to Azure).

You’ll be taking a key role in the ownership of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD strategy, database and storage management, security and compliance governance and strategic collaboration alongside supporting engineering teams, helping them stay connected to all things infrastructure.

Also, you’ll manage a small team of DevOps engineers, provide regular and timely feedback to reports and other members of the department, provide coaching, mentoring and training of engineers throughout the department and of course, participate in recruitment of engineering roles of all types as required as the company grows.

What you’ll get in return:

You’ll join a highly progressive, innovative, and flexible environment in which each team member can genuinely impact success. There’s 5% minimum time allocation for training, Pluralsight, and other tailored training opportunities. A very competitive salary of up to £80K + bonus + more, and the opportunity to continuously grow and develop your career. There’s a hybrid, flexible working environment where you can plan your week to allow for work-life balance, allowing you to work from home a fair part of each month, if you wish to.
