2843 IT & Software Developer jobs in the UK
Requirements
Must:
- Proven experience operating production systems on a major cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) with solid cloud fundamentals (networking, IAM, storage, compute, HA/DR).
- Hands-on IaC with Terraform (modules, state, CI validation, policy checks).
- Strong CI/CD skills in GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins (runners/agents, reusable workflows, secrets, matrix builds, artefact management).
- Containers & orchestration: Kubernetes administration knowledge (controllers, scheduling, ingress, autoscaling, troubleshooting) and experience with EKS/AKS/GKE and/or ECS/ACI.
- Observability: Practical use of New Relic and Grafana to define metrics/traces/logs, tune alerts, and drive SLOs.
- Scripting & automation: Proficiency in Python and Bash; experience with boto3 or equivalent SDKs.
- Incident management: Exposure to production incidents, on-call participation, and post-incident review practices.
- Clear communication, stakeholder partnership, and a bias to automate, document, and simplify.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Jenkins that deliver zero-touch, repeatable releases with quality gates, automated tests, and policy-as-code controls.
- Model cloud resources using Terraform (workspaces, modules, registries, drift detection) to enable composable, reviewed changes across environments.
- Stand up and operate container platforms — Kubernetes (incl. EKS, AKS, GKE), ECS, and Azure Container Instances (ACI) — including cluster lifecycle, node pools, autoscaling, ingress, service mesh, and backup/restore.
- Instrument services and infrastructure with New Relic, Grafana (incl. Loki/Tempo where applicable) and cloud-native telemetry; define SLIs/SLOs, build actionable dashboards, alerts, and runbooks to drive fast MTTR.
- Apply SRE practices (error budgets, change management, resilience testing), right-size resources, and use cloud provider tooling for security/cost posture.
- Participate in a fair, documented on-call rota; lead or contribute to incident handling, communication, post-incident reviews, and corrective actions.
- Embed IAM least-privilege, secrets management, image/provenance scanning, and guardrails into pipelines and Terraform modules.
