## Description

We're partnered with a forward-thinking financial services organisation investing in its technology and engineering capabilities. They're looking to appoint a Senior DevOps Engineer who can help build, optimise and maintain the infrastructure supporting important business-critical systems.

This is an opportunity to join an environment where infrastructure performance, security and reliability are essential. You'll be working on systems where availability matters, helping ensure platforms remain resilient, scalable and capable of supporting demanding operational requirements.

You'll take an active role in improving the organisation's DevOps capabilities, developing automation, strengthening deployment processes and enhancing the reliability of production environments. You'll also contribute to infrastructure design decisions, helping implement solutions that support long-term scalability and operational efficiency.

Security will be an important part of the engineering approach. You'll work closely with technical teams to improve infrastructure standards, strengthen deployment practices and ensure environments are built with resilience, stability and security in mind.

This is particularly suited to an experienced DevOps Engineer who wants to move beyond routine implementation work and have a meaningful influence over the architecture, automation and operational performance of important technology platforms.
