Senior DevOps Engineer (AKS / Kubernetes)

Contract, 3 months (initial) Remote (UK hours), Outside IR35

We're hiring a senior DevOps engineer to join a small, sharp engineering team building serious infrastructure in the payments space.

You'd work as an embedded part of that team, not a standalone consultant handing work back over the fence.

There's an existing proof-of-concept Azure cluster in place. Your first job is to validate it, then harden and complete it, and take ownership of the platform going forward.

What you'll be doing:

Completing and maintaining an Azure (AKS) cluster and its GitOps pipeline.
Hardening security through Azure Managed Identity and proper secrets handling.
Owning the MSAL gateway and Databricks authentication flow.
Validating the current POC, recommending improvements, and implementing them.
Writing the documentation that supports handover and ongoing maintenance.

What we need from you:

Strong hands-on AKS and Kubernetes experience at senior level.
Solid Azure identity work (Managed Identity, MSAL, secrets).
GitOps experience.
Comfort picking up someone else's build, assessing it honestly, and improving it.
Someone who slots into a team, their repos, their equipment, their ways of working, and gets on with people.

Shape of the work:

Immediate start, though we'll consider people on short notice periods.

Intense for the first 6 to 8 weeks, then moving into ad-hoc, burst-style support across the 3 month term.

UK working hours. Fully remote. You'll work closely with the team's technical lead.

If that's you, apply and we'll move quickly.
