Senior DevOps Engineer

Company: Weuc
Apply for the Senior DevOps Engineer
Location: Southampton
Job Description:

We are a real time communications company that runs on our own infrastructure. We are looking for a senior engineer to add depth to the team that runs it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operate and improve our Proxmox VE virtualisation estate across data centre sites.
  • Own storage performance and integrity: architecture, replication, backups, and recovery procedures that are actually tested.
  • Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Ansible and Terraform – the estate should be reproducible, not folklore.
  • Run container orchestration day to day and help lead our path deeper into Kubernetes.
  • Keep monitoring and alerting sharp, so problems are found by us and not by customers.
  • Write things down: runbooks, diagrams and clear proposals for the changes worth making.
  • Get hands on in the data centre when the work calls for it.

Qualifications

  • Five or more years in DevOps or infrastructure roles at modern companies – SaaS, telecoms or infrastructure-heavy environments ideally.
  • Production Kubernetes experience – designing, running and debugging real workloads. This is the biggest win.
  • Proxmox experience, especially Ceph and block storage – a close second.
  • Strong infrastructure-as-code habits with Ansible, Terraform or similar.
  • Linux administration at scale, bare metal and virtual.
  • Comfortable in production-critical environments where uptime is non-negotiable – business communications can’t go down.
  • UK-based, within reach of Southampton for office days and data centre visits.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Real infrastructure at real scale – your own hardware, not just someone else’s cloud.
  • Hybrid working from our Southampton office.
  • Professional development and career growth opportunities.
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment.
