Job Description:

DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure & Build Systems Focus)

Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: £55,000 – £70,000 + Benefits

We’re working with a growing London-based technology business looking to hire a DevOps Engineer to support and improve their internal infrastructure, build systems, and engineering environments.

This role is focused on hands-on infrastructure and developer tooling rather than purely cloud platform engineering. You’ll be working closely with software engineers to maintain reliable build and deployment environments across on premise and hybrid systems.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting and improving CI and build systems used by engineering teams
• Maintaining and enhancing internal infrastructure across Linux based environments
• Working with developers to troubleshoot build, deployment and environment issues
• Managing and supporting on premise and hybrid infrastructure (including virtualised environments)
• Implementing automation and configuration management to improve reliability and consistency
• Contributing to deployment pipelines and release processes

What they’re looking for

• Strong experience working in a DevOps, Infrastructure or Systems Engineering role
• Solid background in Linux systems administration
• Experience with CI and build tools (Jenkins or similar)
• Experience supporting internal development or build environments
• Experience with configuration management or automation tools (Ansible, Puppet, etc.)
• Comfortable working across on premise or hybrid infrastructure environments
• Scripting experience (Bash, Python or similar)

Nice to have (not essential)

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS or Azure)
• Experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with virtualisation platforms (VMware or similar)

What’s on offer

• £55,000 – £70,000 salary
• Hybrid working (London-based)
• Opportunity to take ownership of internal infrastructure and tooling
• Close collaboration with engineering teams
• Real input into systems, tooling, and technical direction

Why this role is different

This is not a purely cloud-native DevOps role. The focus is on infrastructure, build systems, and supporting engineering teams in a hands-on environment where reliability and practical problem-solving are key.
