DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer who lives and breathes observability. This isn't a role where you'll be drawing architecture diagrams from the sidelines—you'll be deep in the trenches, building and operating the systems that keep our platform running smoothly. If you get a kick out of hunting down a tricky performance issue at 2am or feel genuine satisfaction when a well-crafted dashboard lights up with meaningful metrics, we want to talk to you.

You'll own our monitoring, logging, and tracing stack end-to-end—from instrumenting applications to building alerting strategies that actually work. You're someone who believes that if it's not observable, it's not in production.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain our observability platform—metrics, logs, traces, and everything in between


• Get hands-on with infrastructure: deploy services, troubleshoot incidents, and fix things when they break (because they will)


• Instrument applications and services to capture meaningful telemetry data that drives real insights


• Build dashboards and alerting systems that teams actually use—not just noise generators


• Dive into production issues, correlate data across systems, and lead root cause analysis


• Champion observability best practices across engineering teams and help developers instrument their own code


• Automate everything you can: infrastructure provisioning, deployment pipelines, and operational runbooks


• Work closely with SRE and development teams to improve system reliability and performance


• Evaluate and integrate new observability tools and technologies as the landscape evolves

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, or SRE roles—with real production battle scars


• Deep hands-on experience with observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, ELK stack, Jaeger, or similar


• Strong proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation)


• Solid scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, Go, or similar)


• Experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)


• Understanding of distributed systems, microservices architectures, and the unique observability challenges they present


• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows


• Excellent troubleshooting skills—you're the person who doesn't give up until you've found the root cause

Nice to Have

• Experience with OpenTelemetry and vendor-agnostic instrumentation strategies


• Background in building custom exporters, collectors, or integrations


• Familiarity with chaos engineering and resilience testing practices


• Experience with FinOps and cloud cost optimisation


• Contributions to open-source observability projects

The Kind of Person You Are

• You're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in—no task is beneath you


• You thrive in fast-paced environments and stay calm when things go sideways


• You take ownership and see problems through to resolution


• You're curious by nature and constantly looking for ways to improve systems


• You communicate clearly and can explain complex technical concepts to different audiences


• You're pragmatic—you know when to build the perfect solution and when "good enough" ships

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity package


• Flexible working arrangements


• Learning and development budget


• Modern tech stack and the autonomy to make real impact


• A team that values doing things properly over just doing things quickly

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Send us your CV and tell us about a time you tracked down a gnarly production issue—bonus points if it involved creative use of observability data.
