Job Description:

DevOps/Software Engineer
Location: West London – Hybrid
Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + benefits

We are working with an innovative engineering company developing complex, real-world systems, looking to hire a Software Engineer with strong DevOps/infrastructure experience.

This is not a typical DevOps role.

The successful candidate will initially take ownership of improving and stabilising existing infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes. Longer term, the role will evolve into a broader software engineering position, contributing to system architecture, tooling, and product development.

What you’ll be doing

• Take ownership of existing DevOps/infrastructure setup (CI/CD, cloud, deployment pipelines)
• Improve reliability, scalability, and developer workflows
• Work closely with engineers to support builds, tooling, and system integration
• Contribute to software development, tooling, and architecture over time
• Help shape best practices across engineering and platform

What we’re looking for

We are specifically interested in engineers who combine coding ability with DevOps experience.

You should have:

• Strong programming experience (C/C++, Python, or similar)
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, or Kubernetes
• Solid understanding of systems, tooling, and build environments
• Ability and willingness to be hands-on with infrastructure in the short term
• Interest in moving towards a broader software / systems engineering role

Nice to have (not essential)

• Experience with embedded systems, hardware, or real-world engineering environments
• Knowledge of Linux systems and low-level debugging
• Experience building internal tools or developer platforms

What we’re not looking for

• Pure DevOps / platform engineers with little or no coding background
• Candidates focused only on cloud operations or infrastructure support

Why join

• Opportunity to move beyond DevOps into a broader engineering role
• Work on complex, real-world systems
• Small, highly technical team with real ownership and impact
• Long-term growth into architecture and system design

If you’re a software engineer who enjoys infrastructure, or a DevOps engineer with a strong coding background looking to broaden your scope, we’d be keen to hear from you.
