Principal DevOps Engineer

Gearset Limited • TRAFFIC • Not Specified, Not Specified, United Kingdom • 2d ago

As a product-driven company founded by engineers, we know the value of a great engineering culture, and we're looking for a Principal DevOps Engineer to join a team built from the ground up on trust, teamwork and tight feedback loops.

As a Principal DevOps Engineer you'll work collaboratively using a pragmatically-chosen modern tech stack (Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, .NET) to help Gearset run a scalable, secure and reliable service, and enable development of the solution to scale with the rapid growth of the company.

We live by our core values, which aren't just nice words - they guide us through day-to-day challenges and are the foundation of how we work together. Our pragmatic approach has allowed us to maintain the ability to release updates to our application multiple times a day, even as we add new features to the product and expand our global footprint.

What's the opportunity for a Principal DevOps Engineer at Gearset?

Be an integral part of building and supporting our multi-tenant infrastructure, running in multiple regions across the globe, all powered by AWS and Kubernetes
Work on critical production infrastructure used by thousands of teams and help us to maintain our excellent reputation for delivering a service with minimal downtime, even when we're making complex changes behind the scenes
Get involved in building and maintaining the automation that allows our engineering team to safely release updates to our product multiple times per day
Continuously improve the security of our infrastructure and our ability to detect and respond to issues
Collaborate with and support teams across the organisation, including developers, designers, data engineers, marketers and salespeople, to make a real difference to our customers

What you'll achieve

Operate and evolve our infrastructure to help scale for an ever-growing user base, and support a team developing our increasingly sophisticated SaaS
Work closely with developers to ensure our application and infrastructure work in harmony, using your expertise and rigour to make sure changes are rolled out safely and smoothly
Lead initiatives to fortify our security measures and keep our customers' data secure
Work with teams across Gearset to deliver infrastructure that supports their impactful work
Contribute your experience and insight to a collaborative, self-directed team with autonomy over its roadmap and practices

About you

Have 5+ years' experience as a DevOps engineer
Have in-depth practical experience working on AWS (VPC networking and security, IAM, EC2, Postgres RDS, S3, EKS)
Have experience running production-level services in Kubernetes and managing and maintaining clusters
Practical experience automating the management of infrastructure with Terraform
Experience in the configuration and running of a CI/CD pipeline
Previous experience supporting the operation of a hosted, multi-tenant SaaS product at scale
Comfortable giving and receiving constructive feedback to make your work even better
Approach your work with pragmatism, prioritising iteration, and delivering value over process and deliberation

Great to haves

Experience with .NET/C#
Experience working in an agile development team with a focus on delivering value early
Experience with building observability and alerting into systems

Salary and benefits (the stuff you'd expect!)

Salary is £78K - £100K (depending on experience)
This is a full time opportunity, working Monday to Friday remotely in the UK
Generous personal development budget for courses, conferences, or whatever is useful to your professional development in the role of up to £1500 per year
Top end hardware provided
25 days holiday plus bank holidays (with the option to buy an extra 5 each year)
Company Pension Plan (matching up to 5%)
Bupa health care
Life Insurance & critical illness cover
Discounted gym membership, as well as a range of health and wellness benefits
Opportunity to join our Long Term Incentive scheme

£78,000 - £100,000 a year
