Job Description

We are expanding our highly-skilled development team by adding an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer.

We're building the blueprint for what it means to be a true partner in web and software development.
Our vision is clear: deliver holistic, performance-driven solutions that empower ambitious brands to thrive online.
Inline with our vision we're creating a DevOps function from the ground up, and we're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the charge.
If you're someone who thrives in a high-autonomy role, loves optimising infrastructure for scalability and speed, and wants to influence how DevOps is embedded across a modern agency-this role is for you.

  • Laravel (API and full-stack apps)
  • React & modern JS front-ends

You'll help define the infrastructure strategy, tooling, and DevOps processes that elevate delivery across every client project.

    • DNS, WAF, CDN, and edge caching

  • Automating infrastructure and configuration with Ansible, Terraform, or similar
  • Monitoring and improving performance with tools like New Relic, Sentry, TideWays
  • Implementing high-availability and scalable solutions for LAMP/LEMP stacks
  • Managing secure, repeatable deployments for Magento 2, Laravel, and React apps
  • Championing DevOps culture and best practices across the development team
  • Advising on and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure etc.)
What You'll Need

Must-haves:

  • Comprehensive experience in a DevOps or SRE role, ideally in a multi-project environment
  • Deep experience with web stacks: Nginx/Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, Varnish, Elasticsearch
  • Proven expertise in managing and optimising Cloudflare across DNS, security, performance, and access
  • Experience with Magento 2 infrastructure and deployment
  • CI/CD experience with BitBucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar
  • Security-first mindset around apps, servers, and networks

Nice to have:

  • Kubernetes, ECS, or container orchestration
  • Front-end deployment workflows for React/Next.js/Vite
  • Experience leading or mentoring DevOps processes
  • Experience across multiple simultaneous projects

What You'll Get

  • A rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up -your strategy, your influence
  • Hybrid working with flexible hours
  • Clear technical leadership pathway
  • A values-led agency team that puts delivery quality and long-term client success above all
