The Senior Dev Ops Engineer is a senior member of the Engineering function, responsible for leading the infrastructure, tooling, and practices that enable Causeway’s product and platform engineering teams to build, ship, and operate software reliably and at pace.

The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure. The Senior Dev Ops Engineer partners directly with product and platform teams to design and own the CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and operational standards that underpin Causeway’s SaaS products. This is a hands‑on engineering role, with the expectation to build systems as code, influence architectural decisions, establish engineering standards, and treat infrastructure with the same rigour applied to software.

The Senior Dev Ops Engineer provides technical leadership across the Dev Ops discipline, supporting and mentoring other engineers while driving improvements in platform reliability, developer experience, security, and cost efficiency.

• Lead the design, build, and maintenance of cloud infrastructure using infrastructure as code (IaC), owning Terraform modules, configuration management, and environment consistency across development, staging, and production.
• Manage and evolve the Kubernetes-based container platform, including cluster architecture, configuration, workload scheduling, autoscaling, and namespace governance for product and platform services.
• Own the cloud networking, identity, and secrets management configuration that underpins secure, multi‑tenant SaaS delivery.
• Contribute to and influence the design of the platform architecture alongside Software Engineers and Architects, ensuring infrastructure decisions align with product scalability, security, and reliability requirements.
• Evaluate and introduce tooling and platform capabilities that improve the speed, safety, and quality of software delivery across engineering teams.
• Identify and address technical debt within the infrastructure and platform estate, establishing clear improvement roadmaps and priorities.

• Lead the design and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines that allow engineering teams to deliver code to production frequently, safely, and with a high degree of automation, covering build, test, security scanning, and deployment stages.
• Work closely with software engineers to reduce friction in the development lifecycle, shortening feedback loops, improving local environment parity, and making deployment a routine, low‑risk activity.
• Define and maintain branching strategies, environment promotion workflows, and release standards in collaboration…
