Senior Consultant, DevOps

Who are we? Ensono is a global technology services provider dedicated to helping organizations navigate the complexity of digital transformation. Through Ensono Product, Consulting & Technology, our dedicated consulting arm, we partner with clients to design, build, and modernize digital capabilities across application development and modernization, data platforms and AI, and identity and access management. As we continue to expand our global consulting footprint, we are committed to delivering innovative, high ‑ quality outcomes that enable our clients to move faster, smarter, and more securely. About the role and what you'll be doing: As a Senior DevOps Consultant , you’ll be a key technical contributor in delivering complex projects — combining deep engineering skills with the confidence to work independently within your area of responsibility. You’ll take end-to-end ownership of your deliverables, ensuring they meet high standards of quality, security, and performance, while collaborating closely with colleagues and client teams to achieve project goals. Working within a cross ‑ functional environment, you’ll apply modern DevOps practices to design, build, and optimise solutions that help clients get the most from their cloud platform. You’ll be actively involved throughout the full project lifecycle — from refining requirements and influencing solutions, to delivering working systems and communicating outcomes to technical and non ‑ technical audiences. You’ll also provide guidance and informal mentoring to less experienced engineers, helping to raise capability within the team. When not delivering on a client engagement, you may contribute to pre ‑ sales activities such as analysing technical requirements, working with our bid team, and helping develop compelling proposals. You’ll also have opportunities to engage with Ensono Digital’s internal competencies — sharing knowledge, refining our delivery approaches, and expanding your own expertise.
