Opportunity

You’ll be joining one of our DevOps teams in our R&D department working on the Quantexa Cloud Platform and accompanying solutions, including platforms supporting data‑intensive and AI‑driven workloads. The platform is comprised of a landscape of low‑maintenance, on‑demand, and highly secure environments that host our software for customers and partners. These environments also support a wide range of internal use cases, underpinning the work of our R&D teams.

As aSenior DevOps Engineer, you will:

• Contribute to the evolution and improvement of our cloud‑based platform, with a strong focus on availability, resilience, performance and security.
• Take ownership of significant technical problems and initiatives, driving them through to delivery with a high degree of autonomy.
• Enhance our automation practices, helping reduce operational toil and improve the consistency and reliability of our platform, including the use of modern tooling and AI‑assisted approaches where appropriate.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to strengthen our CI/CD pipelines and optimise build, test and deployment workflows, with an eye on improving overall developer productivity.
• Support the development of cloud‑based product capabilities that customers can integrate into their own DevOps processes.
• Contribute to technical discussions, provide guidance on best practices, and help shape engineering standards within the team.
• Offer informal mentoring and knowledge‑sharing to engineers, supporting the growth of the wider DevOps community.

This role focuses on deep hands‑on technical expertise and the ability to lead complex workstreams, while stopping short of the architectural ownership and broader technical leadership responsibilities of a Lead Engineer.
