About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Utilise and contribute to Ansible-based deployment automation to facilitate seamless product feature releases, adhering to established TechOps peer-review processes.
Monitor application-level health within the cluster, collaborating with TechOps on incident response and driving post-mortems for engineering-led deployments.
Maintain clear documentation, deployment runbooks, and developer self-service guides to streamline the engineering onboarding and release processes.
Represent Engineering as a key stakeholder in platform design: Collaborate with TechOps to shape engineering self-service workflows, guardrails, and standards.
Standardise application-level configurations: Work alongside TechOps to establish clear engineering standards within the namespaces for ingress, RBAC, namespacing strategy, and secrets management.
Drive phased application migrations: Partner with engineering teams to containerise and migrate existing workloads to Kubernetes, starting with non-critical environments to establish confidence before moving business-critical systems.
Build robust deployment pipelines: Establish CI/CD workflows for Kubernetes-based deployments (using Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD, or similar) with automated guardrails to ensure fast, repeatable, and safe code delivery.
Implement application observability: Set up application-level metrics, logging, and alerting within the namespaces, ensuring engineering teams have the visibility they need to monitor workload health.
Create developer self-service documentation: Document deployment runbooks, manifest templates, and best practices so that engineers can onboard and self-serve safely within the established guardrails.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong interpersonal and communication skills: we're a people-first culture where teamwork is paramount. On highly technical projects with many moving parts, the ability to collaborate openly, communicate clearly, and bring people with you is just as important as technical ability
Strong, demonstrable experience with Ansible: roles, inventories, vault, idempotency, the lot
Comfortable with Docker and Docker Compose in production environments
Understanding of networking fundamentals
Strong scripting ability: Bash and Python
Experience with GitOps tooling: ArgoCD or Flux
Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alertmanager or equivalent)
Ability to think creatively within constraints and plan pragmatically around them: our stack is real-world, not greenfield-perfect, and we need someone who can deliver iteratively, working with what exists today while roadmapping towards the ideal state
A methodical, security-conscious approach
