Lead DevOps Engineer

2 Days Old

Lead DevOps Engineer (Contract) | Outside IR35 | £650/day

A major UK government‑backed scientific organisation is kicking off a major modernisation of its digital & engineering estate - and we’re looking for a hands‑on Lead DevOps Engineer who has led teams, owned platforms, and driven technical direction in secure, complex environments.

If you’ve built high‑assurance cloud/on‑prem platforms, shaped DevOps strategy, and enjoy leading other engineers... this is the role.

✅ What You’ll Lead

  • Driving modern DevOps practices across secure AWS/on‑prem platforms
  • Defining IaC, CI/CD, and platform automation standards
  • Mentoring DevOps/SRE engineers and providing technical leadership
  • Improving reliability, observability, and delivery pipelines
  • Working with security, research, and engineering teams on high‑impact infrastructure

✅ Why This Role?

  • Long extensions common (12–18 months)
  • Modernisation at national scale
  • Real engineering leadership, not maintenance
  • Work that actually matters in UK science & innovation

If you’re a Lead/Principal DevOps Engineer who’s led teams and wants a high‑impact contract, drop me a message.
