Full description

Senior DevOps Engineer (AKS / Kubernetes)

Contract, 3 months (initial) Remote (UK hours), Outside IR35

We're hiring a senior DevOps engineer to join a small, sharp engineering team building serious infrastructure in the payments space.

You'd work as an embedded part of that team, not a standalone consultant handing work back over the fence.

There's an existing proof-of-concept Azure cluster in place. Your first job is to validate it, then harden and complete it, and take ownership of the platform going forward.

What you'll be doing:

  • Completing and maintaining an Azure (AKS) cluster and its GitOps pipeline.
  • Hardening security through Azure Managed Identity and proper secrets handling.
  • Owning the MSAL gateway and Databricks authentication flow.
  • Validating the current POC, recommending improvements, and implementing them.
  • Writing the documentation that supports handover and ongoing maintenance.

What we need from you:

  • Strong hands-on AKS and Kubernetes experience at senior level.
  • Solid Azure identity work (Managed Identity, MSAL, secrets).
  • GitOps experience.
  • Comfort picking up someone else's build, assessing it honestly, and improving it.
  • Someone who slots into a team, their repos, their equipment, their ways of working, and gets on with people.

Shape of the work:

Immediate start, though we'll consider people on short notice periods.

Intense for the first 6 to 8 weeks, then moving into ad-hoc, burst-style support across the 3 month term.

UK working hours. Fully remote. You'll work closely with the team's technical lead.

If that's you, apply and we'll move quickly.
