About the role:
While primarily remote, this role requires occasional visits to the Bristol office or London.
We are looking for a Principal DevOps Engineer to serve as the technical lead and architect for infrastructure, automation, and deployments. You will define standards and reference architectures, lead complex initiatives across Windows/Linux platforms (with deep expertise in Windows clustering), and own end-to-end reliability—from Infrastructure as Code to release engineering and observability.
