DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer Opportunity (Relocation and Sponsorship provided)

About the company

Trust in SODA is partnering with a fast-growing deep-tech scaleup working at the frontier of next-generation computing. They build high-precision hardware and software that research labs and technology companies around the world rely on. It’s an environment where serious engineering meets cutting-edge science, and where your work directly supports breakthrough R&D.

About the role

You’ll join a growing DevOps team that spans FPGA, embedded systems and high-level software, and you’ll be hands-on from day one. The team owns CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and helping engineering teams across the business adopt modern DevOps practices. There’s a substantial backlog and real scope to shape how things are done.

This is a technical role with a broad remit. Most of your time will go on building and maintaining pipelines and infrastructure. You’ll also be the person who helps other teams improve how software is built, tested and delivered.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines across FPGA, embedded and software projects
• Automate build, test and deployment workflows to cut manual effort and improve reliability
• Improve infrastructure reliability, scalability and monitoring
• Work with a modern toolset covering containers, infrastructure-as-code, cloud (GCP) and virtualisation
• Define and apply secure DevOps practices and contribute to compliance frameworks
• Build governance and change control into fast-moving development workflows
• Partner with engineering teams to drive DevOps adoption and continuous improvement
• Contribute to backlog management and help define ways of working as the team scales

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years in a DevOps or infrastructure engineering role
• Strong background in CI/CD pipeline design, build automation and deployment workflows
• Hands-on experience with containerisation (Podman, Docker or similar)
• Infrastructure-as-code experience with tools such as Ansible or Terraform
• Cloud experience, ideally GCP
• Solid Linux and scripting skills
• Working knowledge of security, compliance and governance in a DevOps context
• Strong communication skills and a service-oriented mindset. You’re as comfortable unblocking a team as you are fixing infrastructure.

Nice to have

• Virtualisation experience (libvirt, QEMU, KVM)
• Familiarity with FPGA toolchains and embedded development workflows
• Experience driving DevOps adoption or cultural change within engineering teams
• Background in an R&D-driven startup or scaleup (semiconductor, hardware, scientific instrumentation)
