Principal DevOps Engineer

2 weeks ago


UK, UK, United Kingdom SEEKR Full time

You're a Lead DevOps Engineer at heart and may have already automated yourself out of a job (or two). But while you like automation, you have learnt over time that you really get a kick out of developing humans and are also talented at communicating and orchestrating big-picture stuff.


Let's take it a little further - does this sound like you?


  • Enjoy leading a team of experienced DevOps engineers.
  • Highly skilled in Azure, Kubernetes, and Terraform for container orchestration, infrastructure provisioning, and management.
  • You are known for your excellent communication and interpersonal skills.


If you answered yes to the previous questions, it may indicate that this job fits you well. However, if you feel a strong yes for the next set of statements, it will almost certainly guarantee it:


  • You'd like to have the opportunity to oversee multiple complex initiatives and help a team of 8 DevOps engineers focus on the right things.
  • You'd enjoy building and developing a team of highly skilled engineers, possibly more technically talented than yourself.
  • You're interested in mastering stakeholder management and applying it in practice.
  • You're looking to carve out a role as a cloud engineering manager in the next 12 months.


We are looking for a Principal who wants to work remotely managing a DevOps team that operates a system used by over 1500 UK veterinary practices to help them deliver the best care to the animals they look after. Beyond its well-established customer base in the UK, the company plans to expand into the US market, where animal healthcare is worth 11 billion dollars.


The software provides a suite of systems enabling appointment management, patient histories, reminders of scheduled follow-ups, customer billing, and supplier integrations for seamless stock management. The company owns it is publicly traded, profitable, and looking to grow. The technical challenges are complex and will become more so until they are all brought under your complete control.


FAQ’s

  • Is it remote the majority of the time? Yes. The company has offices across the UK, but the DevOps team only meets in person if there is a good reason to do so; when they do, the cost of travel is covered.
  • Can I work outside of the UK? No. You would need to be registered for and pay tax in the UK. It is sometimes possible to work for periods outside the UK, but this would be agreed upon with your line manager on a case-by-case basis.
  • What is the salary? £100 000 (10% annual bonus) + benefits
