Senior DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps Engineer | AWS, Terraform, ECS | Global Sports Performance Tech Trusted by Thousands of Elite Teams

• Salary: £70,000 - £80,000 + 15% equity bonus
• Location: London, hybrid, 3 days a week in the office

I'm working with a global sports performance technology business that's hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer into its London platform team. Their cloud platform brings together video, wearable data and athlete information for coaches, sports scientists and athletes across thousands of elite teams, and they build it with those clients rather than for them.
You'll join a mature team of five spread across London, Australia, Bulgaria and the US. It's a flat structure, with everyone reporting into the Principal DevOps Lead, and this is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. You'll own the AWS estate, the Terraform and the CI/CD pipelines, and the estate is modern with very little legacy, so the focus is on improving what's there and shaping what comes next.
What They're Looking For:

• AWS: deep expertise, including cloud security and compliance
• Terraform: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) at scale
• Amazon ECS
• GitHub Actions
• Senior DevOps, SRE or platform background, leading technical decisions
• Problem solving: you question how things are done and bring solutions

What You'll Work With:

• CI/CD pipelines built for fast, safe, repeatable delivery
• Observability: logging, monitoring, alerting, SLOs and SLIs
• Vulnerability and infrastructure scanning in the pipeline
• Agent deployment across the estate

Nice to Haves:

• Kubernetes (K8s)
• AppSec: security built into build and deploy pipelines
• Ansible
• SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or PCI-DSS
• Regulated industries such as healthcare or fintech
• Hybrid estates: data centre and on-prem alongside cloud
• Serverless or AI-driven operations

Why Join / Projects?

• You'll own the cloud infrastructure end to end, and within a year you'll be driving how the next generation of the platform is built.
• You'll set the standards, with reusable IaC patterns that every engineering team uses to deploy services.
• You'll lead the move to a security-first platform, embedding automated AppSec controls and scanning into the pipelines to protect athlete and video data.
• Your work supports some of the most successful teams and athletes on the planet, whether you follow sport or not.
• The process is three stages: an intro call, a technical interview with a Terraform code review exercise, and a final round with leadership.

Employee Benefits:

• 15% equity bonus, vesting annually
• 25 days annual leave
• Private medical
• Work from anywhere in the world for 4 weeks a year
• Generous paid maternity and paternity leave
• Hybrid working, 3 days a week in the London office

If this sounds like your kind of role, apply and I'll give you a call to talk it through.
