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
