About the role

n

At Shift, DevOps isn't a ticket queue. You won't be handed a change request and told to execute it, you'll be one of the people deciding how our cloud infrastructure gets built, secured and kept running. Our engineers carry real decision-making power, not just delivery responsibility, and the problems you'll be solving are ours alone to solve, because our data and decisioning capability is what makes Shift Shift.

n

This is a hands‐on role for someone who wants to own complex infrastructure and security work end to end.

n

What you'll do

n

n




- Lead complex DevOps and security initiatives across Shift's cloud environments, from design through to delivery.
n
- Build, maintain and continuously improve our automated deployment pipelines using DevOps best practice.
n
- Drive security testing, vulnerability scanning and remediation across production, data and operational infrastructure.
n
- Set the standard for security best practice - policies, risk assessments, controls and processes and guide the wider infrastructure team in applying it.
n
- Keep a live watch on emerging security threats and industry trends, and get ahead of risk before it becomes an incident.
n
- Partner closely with our engineering teams to embed security into applications and tooling from the start.
n
- Identify infrastructure and security uplift work that's been queued for too long, and lead it end to end - we'd rather fix things properly once than patch them repeatedly.
n

n

What you'll bring

n

n
- 3-5+ years in a cloud infrastructure or security‐focused technology role.
n
- Strong hands‐on experience with Azure or AWS (IaaS and PaaS) - we run on Azure, but robust AWS experience that translates across is welcome.
n
- Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Bash or C#).
n
- Hands‐on experience with Docker and Kubernetes, with working knowledge of Helm.
