Senior Devops Engineer

Location: Cardiff Bay (excellent public transport links)

Working pattern: 3 days in the office + 2 days working from home

A global luxury asset insurer is hiring a Senior Dev Ops Engineer into a 3-person Cardiff team. The company is expanding and this is an exciting time for the business. This role is the Dev Ops lead role so you'll own the infrastructure and CI/CD function end to end.

You're insuring some of the world's most valuable and interesting assets, for a client base that expects a premium experience to match.

The second draw is technical autonomy. The platform was originally built by a third‑party agency, and while it works, the internal team had limited input into the architecture. They’re not married to any of it. If you think a different deployment pattern, a different load balancer setup, or moving compute to ECS Express makes more sense, you make the case and you build it.

It’s a genuine open playground for someone with strong AWS Dev Ops experience and instincts.

• Laravel PHP back end, Vue.js front end
• CI/CD via Bitbucket and Git Hub, deploying containerised applications
• Member-facing dashboard (also used internally)

• Scale. Members log in roughly every 11 weeks for a specific event, concentrating significant traffic into a short window. A proper load balancing and Cloud Front strategy needs designing.
• International expansion. New markets bring latency, data protection and regional compliance considerations into the architecture.

• Design and maintain the AWS infrastructure
• Own the CI/CD pipelines
• Improve reliability, scalability and monitoring
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code best practice
• Knowledge transfer to the wider dev team

• Dev Ops as your primary discipline
• Strong AWS and CI/CD background
• Full-stack awareness (Laravel/Vue useful but not essential)
• Confident articulating technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders
