We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Dev Ops Engineer to help modernise and run the core infrastructure that powers one of the UK’s most complex distribution and forecasting networks.
You’ll play a key role in moving us toward a secure, automated, cloud-first future.

In this role, you’ll design, operate, and improve our on prem, cloud, and hybrid platforms. You’ll work closely with engineering, security, data, and service teams to embed automation, strengthen resilience, and deliver high-quality infrastructure services. This is a senior technical role with real ownership — not people management.

We offer a hybrid working model, with a minimum of 2 days a week in our Peterborough office.
