About the role
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join the GCC infrastructure team. You will work on the design, implementation, and maintenance of on-premises infrastructure that supports government-sector services — systems where reliability and security are non-negotiable.
The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure and software delivery. You will work closely with developers and engineers to build and maintain the platform stack they depend on: Linux systems, containerised workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and the automation that ties it all together.
You will own Infrastructure as Code practices (e.g. Terraform and Ansible), and take responsibility for the full system lifecycle — from environment provisioning through to production operations and incident response.
Key Responsibilities
• Design, implement, and maintain the on-premises infrastructure platform — compute, storage, networking, and the services layer
• Own Infrastructure as Code end-to-end
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) and internal tooling
• Architect and operate containerised workloads using Docker and Podman
• Design zero-downtime deployment strategies and DR runbooks with defined RPO/RTO targets
• Troubleshoot at depth — Linux kernel, network stack, container runtime, resource contention
Qualifications
• 4+ years owning production systems in a platform or infrastructure engineering role — not just contributing to them
• Strong Linux administration: OS builds, system hardening, automated provisioning, performance tuning
• Solid understanding of the services layer: database clusters, web services, proxies, IAM, monitoring, logging
• Hands-on Terraform and Ansible experience in live environments
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Container experience with Docker and/or Podman in production
• Scripting and programming skills — Python and Bash for automation and tooling
• The ability to work closely with software developers — translating infrastructure capabilities into something useful for them
• A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field — or demonstrable equivalent experience
Nice to have
• Kubernetes for container orchestration
• Experience with on-premises virtualisation platforms (VMware vSphere/ESXi, Proxmox, or similar)
• Exposure to security hardening practices — CIS Benchmarks, CVE patching, secrets management
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack
• Understanding of network fundamentals in on-premises contexts: VLANs, firewalls, DNS, and load balancers
Benefits
• Competitive remuneration package with a 13th salary
• Annual bonus based on company and individual performance
• Provident Fund
• Group Medical coverage rates
• Continuous learning and development opportunities
• Increasing annual leave allowance (up to 25 days a year)
• Wellbeing days off / Complimentary days off
• Friday afternoon off during summer
• Paid sick leave allowance
• Company events
• Paid maternity and paternity leave
• Wedding & New baby gifts
