About the Role:

Are you the type of engineer who looks at repetitive manual work and immediately thinks, “There has to be a better way”?

Our client is looking for a DevOps Engineer who is passionate about automation rather than simply managing infrastructure.

  • Build automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, APIs, Azure, CI/CD and cloud integrations.
  • Develop scripts, workflows, and AI-assisted solutions that reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
  • Create documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer to ensure long-term adoption.
  • Continuously improve and support automations based on operational feedback and business needs.

About You:

  • Experience in DevOps, Automation Engineering, Systems Engineering, MSP, SOC or similar technical operations roles.
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, PowerShell or Bash.
  • Experience with Git, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or CI/CD pipelines.
  • Exposure to Azure or AWS cloud platforms.
  • Experience integrating systems through REST APIs and webhooks.
  • A practical mindset with a passion for solving operational problems through automation.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work closely with technical teams.

Nice to Have

  • Terraform, Bicep or Infrastructure as Code experience.
  • Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Defender or Sentinel exposure.
  • AI-assisted automation, Copilot or Azure OpenAI experience.
  • MSP or MSSP experience.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on meaningful automation projects that directly improve service delivery.
  • Be part of a collaborative engineering team focused on continuous improvement.
  • Exposure to modern cloud, DevOps and AI technologies.
  • Clear career progression into Senior DevOps, Automation Leadership or Platform Engineering.
  • Supportive culture with ongoing professional development.
