Technical Lead - Kubernetes

£90k - £100k per annum
Full-time

Forget "DevOps" as a buzzword. Here, it’s the atomic engine of their business. Not looking for just another engineer but a Technical Lead to act as the primary catalyst within their Platform Centre of Excellence.

They need a heavy hitting Tech Lead to bridge the gap between high level architectural strategy and elite level, hands-on engineering.

This is a role for the engineer who has outgrown "Senior" and is ready to act as the Technical North Star for some of the most ambitious cloud native projects in the UK.

Don't think it's just a "management only" desk job. They need a leader who still loves the keyboard but has the vision to steer a high performing team.
  • Architectural Authority: You won't just follow the roadmap; you’ll help draw it. You will define the long-term strategy for resilient, hybrid-cloud Kubernetes environments.
  • Hands-on Mastery: From writing complex Helm charts to extending Terraform modules, you’ll be the technical North Star for the engineering team.
  • The "CoE" Impact: You’ll be working within an elite unit, ensuring that the platforms built are secure, powerful, and most importantly empower developers to deliver at lightning speed.


The ideal Engineer thinks in clusters, containers, and code. You’re a systems thinker who spots a weak point before it breaks and automates a solution before it becomes urgent.

  • Scale Experts: You have battle tested experience scaling Kubernetes and a deep love for clean Infrastructure as Code.
  • Technical Mentors: You enjoy the Lead aspect of a role, pairing with engineers, conducting high level reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Purpose Driven Builders: You understand that the best platforms are those that get out of the way and let developers win.


What makes this opportunity unique is the level of investment this company pours into its people. They don't just hire talent; they cultivate it internally.

  • Unlimited Growth: They offer an unlimited training budget. Whether it’s CKA, CKAD, or advanced AWS/Azure certifications, they will back your ambition 100%.
  • Elite Culture: You’ll be joining a team known for "doing things the right way," working alongside some of the sharpest technical minds in the country.
