Role description
We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on on-premise and
private data center infrastructure to join our UK team, working closely with our DevOps
Technical Lead in Copenhagen.
This role is heavily oriented toward managing and modernising our private data center
environments, while also supporting our AWS footprint. You will bridge development and
operations, ensuring reliable CI/CD processes, secure and robust infrastructure, and
operational excellence across primarily on-prem systems with supporting hybrid cloud
components.
The ideal candidate has deep experience operating traditional infrastructure (networks,
servers, storage, virtualization), combined with strong DevOps practices such as
Infrastructure as Code, pipelines, automation, and monitoring.
Responsibilities
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using TeamCity, Octopus
Deploy, and Git-based workflows.
• Manage, maintain, and optimise private data center environments, including
networking, virtualization, operating systems, and security controls.
• Support and enhance our hybrid infrastructure spanning on-premise and AWS
components (cloud is supplementary, not primary).
• Drive adoption of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and Configuration as Code
practices for on-prem and hybrid systems.
• Ensure system reliability, scalability, and security through automation, monitoring,
and strong operational processes.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure and application issues in production
on-prem environments.
• Collaborate closely with the DevOps Technical Lead and cross-functional teams
(developers, QA, operations, ITOps).
• Implement and maintain disaster recovery, backup, and high-availability strategies
for private data center workloads.
• Advocate for best-practice DevOps principles, with particular focus on modernising
and automating traditional infrastructure.
Qualifications & Experience
Required
• 5+ years hands-on experience with on-premise or private data center
infrastructure (critical requirement).
• Strong background in Linux/Windows system administration in traditional server
environments.
• Experience with networking, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, virtualization
(VMware/Hyper-V) or similar.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and Configuration as Code.
• Proven experience with CI/CD tooling especially TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, and
Bitbucket.
• Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or PowerShell).
• Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
• Solid understanding of security/compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC2, PCI
DSS).
Preferred but not required
• Hands-on experience with AWS services in hybrid setups (IAM, networking,
compute, storage).
• Familiarity with containers/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Other skills
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting mindset.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across distributed teams.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to operational excellence.
Education & Certifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Preferred: AWS DevOps/Solutions Architect, CKA/CKAD, or relevant
security/compliance certifications.
