Description
Dev Ops Engineer
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team at The Dock, where you’ll play a key role in shaping scalable, secure, and high-performing engineering environments.
You’ll work across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, automation, and observability, helping teams deliver reliable, production-ready solutions.
This is not a pure operations role—you’ll contribute to engineering decisions, bringing a strong focus on reliability, repeatability, and pragmatic delivery.
You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, architects, data scientists, and product teams, owning key technical components such as cloud environments, networking layers, repositories, and developer tooling—ensuring alignment with best practices and internal standards.
This role suits someone with a growth mindset, who actively explores new technologies, shares knowledge, and communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What You’ll Do
Design, build, and maintain secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab CI)Develop and manage cloud-native infrastructure using Infrastructure as CodeDeploy and operate containerised workloads (Docker, Kubernetes)Implement monitoring, logging, tracing, and health-check frameworksCreate reproducible environments to support consistency and engineering qualityEmbed security across the lifecycle (DevSecOps) – secrets management, vulnerability scanning, dependency managementManage network access and security across systems, including VPNs and firewalls, ensuring compliance with internal standardsContribute to technical decision-making, clearly communicating trade-offs, risks, and improvementsDrive continuous improvement of development practices and code qualityLeverage AI tools to automate workflows, improve delivery, and support documentationWrite clean, maintainable, well-tested code
What You Bring
Hands-on experience working in DevOps within agile delivery environmentsStrong understanding of cloud platforms (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP also relevant)Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g.
Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep/ARM)Practical knowledge of containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS/EKS/GKE)Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automationSolid understanding of networking, distributed systems, and secure API designFamiliarity with monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworksAbility to script in Python, Bash, or PowerShellUnderstanding of authentication and authorisation conceptsExperience identifying and resolving security vulnerabilities (CVE)Comfortable contributing to planning, estimation, and sprint delivery
We welcome engineers from a variety of backgrounds who demonstrate impact, ownership, and continuous learning, rather than focusing on a fixed number of years of experience.
Nice to Have
Experience leading workstreams or mentoring othersRelevant certifications (Azure, DevOps, Kubernetes)Exposure to GenAI/LLM infrastructure (e.g.
vector DBs, embeddings, orchestration)Experience with secrets management (Vault, Azure Key Vault) and secure-by-design practicesInterest in system design, architecture, and modern software patterns
