  • DevOps exposure: i.e. containerization, continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD).

The salary

We expect to pay from £50,000 - £80,000 for this role. But, we’re open-minded, so definitely include your salary goals with your application. We routinely benchmark salaries against market rates, and run quarterly performance and salary reviews.
