Lead DevOps Engineer | Azure, SQL Server, Windows | SaaS Product • Salary: circa £80,000 + Benefits, • Location: Remote-first; monthly all-hands in St Ives, Cambridgeshire Our client is a B2B transport SaaS business that has been building and running operational software for its customers for over 20 years. They have two products used by thousands of clients across the UK, and a tech team of 12 sitting inside a company of around 40. Two development squads work across the two products, and a 3 person infrastructure/DevOps team sits alongside them. Those three engineers know the platform well but have been without a senior technical lead nor complex ‘DevOps’ experience. You'd come in as the most senior person in the infrastructure team, reporting to the CTO and taking on the line management of those three engineers. It's 60-80% hands-on - they're not looking for a pure manager - but you'd also be the one setting direction, defining what good looks like, and challenging how the team deploys and operates its workloads. The environment is Azure-based and in the middle of a meaningful transformation. They started as a lift-and-shift onto Azure VMs and are actively working through a multi-phase refactor: consolidating SQL Server VMs onto Azure SQL, building out disaster recovery, and progressively moving workloads into Kubernetes. One product is already live on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) across two regions, with the plan to bring the second along the same path over time. They also need someone to introduce proper observability and monitoring - knowing when things aren't running, alerting the right people, and building the kind of visibility that lets the team respond rather than react. Non-Negotiables • Azure - hands-on production experience, • Windows Server, • Microsoft SQL Server, • Line management experience, or clear readiness to step into it as you’ll be leading 3 other engineers What You'll Work With • Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) - two clusters across two regions, • Azure SQL - active migration from SQL Server on VM, • Windows VMs and RDP session host infrastructure (being deprecated over the next 12-18 months), • CI/CD tooling and working with the development team, • Observability and monitoring tooling - currently limited; you'd shape this, • Disaster recovery architecture, • MFC C++, .NET services, Angular front-end (context for the broader dev estate) Nice to Haves • IaC experience, • Background in migrating VM-based workloads to cloud-native or containerised architectures, • Azure Monitor, Application Insights, or equivalent observability tools, • Experience in SME or product-led tech businesses Why Join The honest pitch here is ownership. This team hasn't had a senior DevOps lead who could set architecture direction - an external consultant has been filling the gap alongside a team who know the product well but are less sure what best practice looks like for the infrastructure. You'd be the person who defines that. The projects are genuinely interesting: a real Kubernetes migration, active database consolidation, and building observability from scratch in an environment that's been running lean. It's not a greenfield, but the scope for improvement is real and the CTO wants someone to drive it, not just maintain what's there. The team is fully distributed, with people across the country from Brighton to Manchester. The one fixed point is a monthly all-hands day in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, which has a social element alongside the work - recent team events have included an F1 experience in London. If you're further afield, travel and overnight costs are covered. The CTO is in the office Monday to Thursday for those who want more face time, but that's a preference rather than a requirement. Employee Benefits • 24 days holiday plus bank holidays, • Life assurance, • Pension, • Death in service Lead DevOps Engineer | Azure, SQL Server, Windows | SaaS Product

Job Title: Firmware Technical Lead - Medical Devices and Quality Systems Location: Cambridge Salary: We know salary transparency matters. While we can’t list a figure on this advert, the client is genuinely flexible and open to shaping the package around the right person. The salary on offer is genuinely competitive Employment Type: Permanent Working Arrangements: Onsite working If you’ve ever wanted your firmware leadership to directly influence patient safety, this is that role. A Cambridge engineering organisation is building a new life‑sustaining wearable medical device from the ground up. Their hardware platform already ships globally in high‑volume consumer products; now it’s being engineered into a regulated medical device for the first time. They’re hiring a Firmware Technical Lead to define the architecture, development lifecycle, and quality systems that will underpin the entire product line. Why this role matters Most senior roles in medical firmware are about maintaining legacy systems. This isn’t. You’ll be joining a small, newly formed medical devices team at the moment everything is being defined: architecture, coding standards, IEC 62304 processes, verification strategy, toolchain, documentation, and cross‑functional quality alignment. You get the rare combination of: • A true greenfield mandate — set the firmware architecture, development standards, toolchain, and real‑time strategy, • Deep engineering support — established hardware, electronics, controls, and algorithms teams behind you, • Ownership of quality systems — shaping how IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and cybersecurity requirements are implemented across firmware The device itself is demanding: closed‑loop sensing and actuation, dose‑critical safety logic, fault tolerance, multi‑year power budgets, IEC 60601, IEC 62304 Class C software, and secure connected delivery. If you thrive in high‑integrity environments, you’ll feel at home. What you’ll lead: • Define and own the firmware architecture for a life‑sustaining wearable devic, • Lead technical decisions on structure, standards, toolchain, and development processes, • Establish and maintain an IEC 62304‑aligned lifecycle (V‑model, traceability, verification, static analysis, unit testing), • Partner with Quality and Regulatory to ensure alignment with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, and cybersecurity standards, • Drive risk management activities and contribute to regulatory submissions (MDR, FDA), • Mentor engineers as the team scales — starting with a hands‑on build phase, evolving into technical leadership, • Champion robust documentation, design reviews, and continuous improvement across the firmware function What you’ll bring • Several years of embedded firmware experience on a medical device that shipped under IEC 62304, • Strong embedded C (and some C++) with deep experience in low‑power, real‑time, bare‑metal or RTOS development, • Solid understanding of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and safety‑critical engineering principles, • Experience defining or maturing firmware processes, standards, and quality systems, • Confidence to set direction where process doesn’t yet exist — and the judgement to know what matters now vs. later, • A genuine motivation to build medical technology that directly impacts patient safety Nice to have • Experience with medical device development, • FDA or MDR submission involvement, • Static analysis tools (MISRA, Coverity, Polyspace), unit testing frameworks, CI for embedded, • Cybersecurity for medical devices (FDA premarket guidance, IEC 81001‑5‑1), • Secure boot, OTA updates, cryptographic key management The trade‑off The compensation is competitive for Cambridge, but the real draw is the influence: shaping a greenfield medical device inside a stable, well‑resourced engineering organisation. If you want to build something you’ll be proud to point to in five years, this is that opportunity.
