Senior DevOps Engineer


Oxford(Hybrid)

£72,500 + 20% Bonus


I’m working with a world-leading biotech company, to hire a Senior DevOps Engineer. This is a great opportunity to join a highly technical, cross-functional engineering team working across cloud infrastructure, DevOps, observability, and business-critical platform integrations. The environment is heavily AWS-focused, with strong investment in automation, security, and scalable architecture.


This role would suit someone with a strong DevOps/Platform Engineering background who enjoys improving deployment processes, infrastructure reliability, security, and cloud operations within a modern engineering environment.


The Senior DevOps Engineer will:

  • Design, build, and support scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform and GitLab CI/CD
  • Drive DevOps and DevSecOps best practices across cloud platforms and deployment processes
  • Improve observability, monitoring, and platform reliability across customer-facing systems
  • Perform troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and production support within complex cloud environments
  • Bring strong AWS experience across services such as Fargate, Lambda, CloudFront, EventBridge, and SQS, alongside experience with Terraform, CI/CD, and cloud security principles
