About the Role
The DevOps Engineer will play a key role in developing, maintaining, and optimising scalable, cloud-native environments that support Victim Support’s critical technology services, including the containerised WitnessBox application.
In this hands-on role, you will work with AWS and Kubernetes to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure. You will be responsible for building and enhancing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, developing Infrastructure as Code, and improving automation across build and deployment processes.
You will support high availability services that people rely on every day, ensuring systems are resilient, compliant, and aligned with security best practices. Working closely with development, product, service delivery, and security teams, you will help deliver integrated, high-quality solutions and drive continuous improvement across the technology landscape.
About You
You will bring solid experience working with AWS and a strong background in building and optimising CI/CD pipelines. You’ll have a good understanding of cloud security principles and a proactive approach to improving reliability, automation, and scalability.
Experience with Kubernetes and containerised applications is important, alongside familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation. Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools is also desirable.
You will be a strong problem solver with excellent attention to detail and the ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders. A collaborative mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement will be key to success in this role.
You must have the right to live and work in the UK, as this is a UK-based role. This position is subject to a successful Enhanced DBS check and may require additional security clearance (NPPV and/or SC) in the future; you should have been resident in the UK for a minimum of 3 years to meet potential vetting requirements.
