We are looking for an experienced Infrastructure DevOps Engineer to join a specialist engineering team supporting a highly secure, enterprise-scale private cloud environment. This is an initial 5 month contract role but comes with a high probability of long term extensions.

This is a hands-on infrastructure-focused DevOps position, rather than a software development role, where you’ll develop and enhance automation capabilities, improve deployment processes and support the ongoing delivery of business-critical hosting services.

The Role Working alongside infrastructure and engineering specialists, you’ll take responsibility for improving infrastructure automation, maintaining CI/CD pipelines and supporting secure cloud hosting platforms. Key responsibilities include:

• Manage and enhance existing GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop and improve Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Ansible and scripting technologies.
• Automate infrastructure deployments and ongoing operational tasks.
• Work with VMware Aria Automation and Aria Orchestrator to improve infrastructure provisioning.
• Support Linux and Windows infrastructure, including Active Directory.
• Contribute to infrastructure security, system hardening and vulnerability management.
• Maintain technical documentation and support continuous service improvements.

We’re looking for an experienced Infrastructure DevOps Engineer with strong infrastructure automation skills and experience supporting complex production environments. Essential experience:

• Strong infrastructure-focused DevOps and automation experience.
• GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible and scripting, ideally PowerShell.
• VMware infrastructure and automation technologies, particularly Aria Automation and Orchestrator.
• Linux (ideally Ubuntu), Windows Server and Active Directory.
• Infrastructure as Code, GitOps and automated deployments.
• Understanding of infrastructure security, hardening and ITIL change management.
• SC security clearance.

Desirable experience:

• Defence, government or highly secure environments.
• Air-gapped infrastructure, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Packer and Nessus.
• Current DV clearance.

An excellent opportunity to work on complex infrastructure automation within a highly secure and technically challenging environment.
