We build products and services that solve real problems at scale. Our infrastructure handles millions of requests daily, supports distributed teams across time zones, and meets reliability standards our customers depend on. Were scaling our infrastructure capabilities, and this role reports directly to our Infrastructure Lead with autonomy over deployment strategy and infrastructure design. The focus is on building resilient systems, automating repetitive work, and making infrastructure a competitive advantage—not firefighting incidents or managing inherited legacy systems. This is a part-time contract role, remote within EU time zones, with an advertised annual pay range of £50,000–£60,000.
