Infrastructure DevOps Engineer // Manchester // Up to £60,000
Want to take ownership of infrastructure that handles over 25 billion requests every month?
I’m working with a Manchester tech startup building the infrastructure that powers web data collection, automation and AI agents.
They’re operating globally across 195+ countries, and they’re now looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to take ownership of their infrastructure as the business scales.
This isn’t a role where you’ll just be managing cloud services. You’ll be building, improving and owning the systems that the engineering team relies on every day.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking ownership of Kubernetes clusters across bare-metal and cloud environments.
- Building and improving CI/CD pipelines so engineers can deploy quickly and reliably.
- Managing monitoring, observability and infrastructure performance.
- Owning SOC 2 processes, incident reporting and infrastructure security.
- Troubleshooting infrastructure issues and participating in on-call support.
- Making technical decisions around how the platform scales as the company grows.
What they’re looking for:
- Commercial experience running Kubernetes clusters in production.
- Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
- Solid Linux and networking fundamentals.
- Experience with self-hosted infrastructure, rather than solely managed cloud services.
- Understanding of SOC 2, incident management and on-call responsibilities.
- Someone proactive, curious and comfortable taking ownership in a small team.
- Experience with Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry.
- Knowledge of Go, Python, Ansible or ArgoCD.
- Experience with bare-metal infrastructure, BGP or IP networking.
- Personal infrastructure projects.
Real ownership: Take responsibility for the infrastructure and influence technical decisions.
Interesting scale: Work on systems processing billions of requests every month.
Profitable and growing: Join an established, bootstrapped business with strong commercial traction.
AI infrastructure: Help build the technology supporting the next generation of AI agents and automation.
Career growth: Join a small engineering team with further hiring and expansion planned.
You’ll be working from their office in Manchester City Centre.
