DevOps Engineer

Location: Predominantly home-based, with occasional travel to client sites in London. Ideally based near Bristol, Cheltenham, Manchester

Clearance: SC cleared or clearable

SR2 is supporting one of our long standing consultancy clients who are on a mission to make the UK the safest place to work online. They deliver highly secure, technically challenging projects for UK Government clients. They invest heavily in their people - regular team socials, an annual company trip, five fully paid training days a year, and genuine career progression.

You'll join a small, fast-paced agile delivery team, taking a leading role across the project lifecycle - from architecture and build through to managing customer relationships. There's a big, brand-new AI project on offer right now, genuinely exciting stuff, but very confidential at this stage. It involves taking a newly designed AI system and implementing/scaling it into a live working environment.

It requires standard security clearance so ideally you will be cleared already or happy to go through clearance.
