DevOps/Software Engineer Location: West London – Hybrid Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + benefits We are working with an innovative engineering company developing complex, real-world systems, looking to hire a Software Engineer with strong DevOps/infrastructure experience. This is not a typical DevOps role. The successful candidate will initially take ownership of improving and stabilising existing infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes. Longer term, the role will evolve into a broader software engineering position, contributing to system architecture, tooling, and product development. What you’ll be doing • Take ownership of existing DevOps/infrastructure setup (CI/CD, cloud, deployment pipelines), • Improve reliability, scalability, and developer workflows, • Work closely with engineers to support builds, tooling, and system integration, • Contribute to software development, tooling, and architecture over time, • Help shape best practices across engineering and platform What we’re looking for We are specifically interested in engineers who combine coding ability with DevOps experience. You should have: • Strong programming experience (C/C++, Python, or similar), • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, or Kubernetes, • Solid understanding of systems, tooling, and build environments, • Ability and willingness to be hands-on with infrastructure in the short term, • Interest in moving towards a broader software / systems engineering role Nice to have (not essential) • Experience with embedded systems, hardware, or real-world engineering environments, • Knowledge of Linux systems and low-level debugging, • Experience building internal tools or developer platforms What we’re not looking for • Pure DevOps / platform engineers with little or no coding background, • Candidates focused only on cloud operations or infrastructure support Why join • Opportunity to move beyond DevOps into a broader engineering role, • Work on complex, real-world systems, • Small, highly technical team with real ownership and impact, • Long-term growth into architecture and system design If you’re a software engineer who enjoys infrastructure, or a DevOps engineer with a strong coding background looking to broaden your scope, we’d be keen to hear from you
