DevOps Engineer

Description
We’re hiring a DevOps Engineer to join our Core DevOps team, building and operating the shared platforms and tooling that support engineering across Benchmark.

You will focus on creating scalable, secure and automated infrastructure, enabling delivery teams to build, test and release software quickly and consistently.

This is a hands-on role with real impact across our cloud platform, CI/CD pipelines and developer experience.
What you'll do

Build and maintain shared cloud platforms and services (primarily Azure)

Develop reusable infrastructure and automation using Terraform and scripting

Create CI/CD frameworks using tools such as GitHub Actions and Octopus Deploy

Enable self-service capabilities so teams can deploy and manage workloads independently

Support Kubernetes clusters, container platforms, networking and identity integrations

Implement guardrails and policies to support security, compliance and scalability

Maintain monitoring, logging, alerting and performance standards across the platform

Identify and resolve bottlenecks in engineering workflows and deployment pipelines

Work closely with engineering teams to improve tooling, reliability and speed of delivery

Support incident triage, including security-related tickets

The knowledge, experience and qualifications you need

Experience working with cloud platforms, ideally Azure

Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred)

Exposure to scripting (e.g. Bash or similar)

Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines

Familiarity with tools such as GitHub Actions, Octopus Deploy or similar

Understanding of modern application stacks (e.g. .NET, C#, React)

Experience monitoring systems, applications and cloud environments

Ability to support and guide development teams on DevOps practices

The base
You'll be based at the Benchmark Head Office, within our Broadlands Business Campus near Horsham in West Sussex but will need to be present across our other offices, including the main Schroders headquarters in London. It has high standards and international reputation, without being in the city: a big, countryside campus means life will feel a little different. 

We support our offices by using cutting edge software and hardware and our spacious campus facilities mean there's a great working environment for the team. With an on-site restaurant, coffee shop and gym, our campus has much to offer. And commuters can relax on our dedicated regular shuttle bus to and from Horsham’s main line train station
