Azure DevOps Engineer (Jenkins, Helm, Kubernetes)
Eastleigh, Southampton (Hybrid/Remote)
£55000 - £65000 + 10% Bonus

This role cannot offer any VISA Sponsorship and requires a minimum of 5 years commercial experience working with Azure DevOps (it is NOT an AWS position).

Your new company
I've been retained to recruit a DevOps Engineer (Azure DevOps/Jenkins) for an award-winning financial services business in the South East. With thousands of employees in the UK, your scope to influence will be huge.

You can work remotely within the UK in this role, visiting their Southampton head office around once a month. With this in mind, you must be located within 100 miles/2 hours of Southampton.

Your new role
This is an amazing opportunity and the ideal time to be getting involved within a Financial Services company where software is a profit maker, not a cost. They are an online business first, so tech has always been key.

You'll work as an Azure DevOps specialist within a cross-functional Agile team, contributing to the SW Dev lifecycle. This is not a Cloud Infrastructure DevOps role; instead, it is heavily focused on the Application side, looking after the everyday management of application build, release, and deploy aspects to deliver faster and safer continuous high-quality software to the business.

You'll be trusted to take ownership of creating and maintaining existing CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins & Azure DevOps) to meet build, test, release, deploy, and security requirements, as well as running the software release management process. They deploy every day, and experience working with Helm Charts within Kubernetes is important for the role, as is Automation for release environments.

Engineers here aren't dictated to; you're encouraged to challenge the status quo, to suggest enhancements, and to tackle technical debt head-on. This team is growing continuously at a time when redundancies are prevalent elsewhere. There are progression opportunities to Senior, Principal, and Tech Lead, with movement through these levels based purely on performance.

What you'll need to succeed
We are looking for 5+ years commercial experience in DevOps roles working with Azure (this is not an AWS position or environment). You must have strong experience creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and will have excellent Docker & Kubernetes (k8s) skills. You should have good Helm Chart experience within Kubernetes too.

Nice to haves include GIT, Selenium, and of course the deeper suite of Azure tools (App Services, Azure Functions, etc.). Communication and stakeholder engagement are an integral part of this role; you must be fluent in English to apply for the role.

What you'll get in return
Working here, you'll join a thriving team working on an enterprise-level solution. There is great flexibility in working hours, and it's a hybrid/remote role. They are offering up to a 10% annual bonus, 9% pension match, private medical cover, 27 days holiday (+ bank holidays), and access to a flexible benefits platform to really fine-tune what works for your lifestyle.
