The Role 

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Manager who is, first and foremost, a people leader.

In this role, your primary responsibility is the health, performance, and career growth of your engineering team. While you must possess a solid technical background to understand the challenges your team faces, your day-to-day focus will not be hands-on technical work. Instead, you will use your experience to remove blockers, guide decision-making, and ensure your engineers have the environment they need to succeed.

You will act as the bridge between technical execution and business strategy, team budget management, defining roadmaps, and ensuring operational excellence across a complex hybrid (predominantly on-prem and some cloud) estate.

The Team You Will Lead 

You will lead the Infrastructure Solutions team within the wider Technical Operations department. Your engineers are responsible for building the environment, delivering projects as requested by Engineering and Product, and ensuring we remain available, scalable, and secure. They are not responsible for the BAU function of the platforms that is managed by another team within Technical Operations. The Infrastructure Solutions team takes a concept or idea and makes that into a reality within the boundaries and constraints of our platforms. 

You will be managing a team of engineers who individually possess experience in:

• On-Premise Linux systems, Container solutions, Debian packaging, Ansible, data streaming and queuing technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ

• Context Switching is the Norm
• You will rarely have the luxury of focusing on a single task for weeks at a time. You will be required to shift focus multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day, as business priorities evolve.
• Agility over Silos
• Because we are a lean team, we wear many hats. You must be comfortable pivoting from a strategic discussion to an operational challenge without losing momentum.
• Focus Management
• Success in this role requires the ability to maintain high standards while navigating a workload that changes dynamically. This is not a role for those who prefer a slow, singular focus; it is for those who thrive on variety, pace, and solving complex problems in real-time.

As the Senior Infrastructure Manager, You Will:

People Leadership & Talent Development

• Team Management
• Lead, mentor, and motivate a team of infrastructure engineers. Conduct weekly 1-2-1s, manage performance reviews, and handle all aspects of people management.

• Visual Documentation
• Ensure the team produces detailed system design documentation, specifically enforcing the inclusion of visual representations to support understanding. Ability to technologically assess it as a technical editor.
• Hybrid Estate Management
• Ability to oversee the management of both On-Premise and Cloud (GCP/AWS), ensuring high availability across all environments.
• Unblocking Issues
• Act as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues. Your goal is not to fix the issue yourself, but to coordinate the right resources and provide air cover.

General Duties

On-Call DutiesWillingness to participate in the Management On-Call Rotation to support the department and the business (Current frequency: Once every three weeks).Ad-HocCarry out other strategic or technical duties required to support the Director/VP of Technical Operations.

The Opportunity 

The DevSecOps Engineer role has been created to embed security into our engineering, DevOps and cloud delivery pipelines. Working closely with our Development, DevOps, Infrastructure and Security teams, you will engineer, automate and maintain security controls across our CI/CD pipelines, cloud workloads and application lifecycle. 

This position is critical in uplifting our secure by design practices, reducing vulnerabilities, and ensuring our rapidly evolving development environments adhere to best-in-class security standards. (Infosec presentations highlight the explicit gap for DevSecOps capability and security integration into Dev and Cloud projects).

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins or equivalent). 
• Implement automated SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning and secrets management controls. (Referenced in secure development lifecycle expectations.)   
• Work with Development and DevOps teams to ensure secure design principles, threat modelling and secure coding practices are embedded early in the lifecycle. 
• Engineer and maintain tooling for vulnerability management across code, containers, pipelines and cloud workloads. 
• Automate security guardrails across Azure resources, Kubernetes clusters, API gateways, serverless workloads and service meshes. 
• Support and enhance the deployment of security policies (IAM, key vaults, network controls, hardening baselines). 
• Partner with engineering squads to review architecture changes and ensure security requirements are addressed. 
• Contribute to incident response activities where application or pipeline security is implicated. 
• Contribute to uplift of our secure engineering policies, developer training and SSDLC processes. (Supports expectations stated in internal assessments and training docs).

Requirements:

• Experienced in DevOps or platform engineering with a strong security mindset. 
• Hands-on experience with at least one CI/CD platform (Azure DevOps preferred). 
• Good understanding of application security principles (OWASP Top 10, SANS/CWE Top 25). 
• Experience integrating or running security scanners: SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning, IaC scanning. 
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, Helm). 
• Familiar with cloud security (preferably Azure) and container security best practices. 
• Capable of supporting vulnerability management processes and remediation workflows. 
• Ability to collaborate with Software Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Cloud and Security teams. 
• Strong communicator able to translate risk into engineering friendly language. 

Nice to Have:

• Kubernetes (AKS), service mesh, container runtime security. 
• Experience integrating security telemetry into SIEM/SOAR pipelines. 
• Exposure to Zero Trust design principles. 
• Threat modelling and automated security testing frameworks.
