Lead DevOps Engineer - IFS Nexus Black

IFS Nexus Black builds AI to solve hard problems for the industries that keep the world turning: up on power lines, down on factory floors, and out in the field. Our products — Resolve (field service and predictive maintenance), Flow (production planning), Comply (regulatory compliance) and Reason (analytical reasoning) — are used by technicians and engineers who cannot afford a tool that doesn’t work first time. We pair 40 years of IFS industrial depth with the technical pace of a start-up, and we get results in weeks, not months.

You’ll own and evolve the platform our products run on: secure, highly available, and effective in the ways that matter. This is building platforms, not firefighting. You’ll design the infrastructure and standards that let product teams deploy, operate and evolve services independently — and you’ll set the bar for reliability, security and deployment quality across the organisation.

Design, build and run cloud infrastructure as code with Terraform.

Own the Kubernetes platform — GKE workload standards, deployment models, multi-zone resilience, resource limits and safe failure modes.

Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows that make deploys unremarkable: rolling and canary patterns, rollback in minutes, deployment-related incidents at zero.

Make security the default across infrastructure, pipelines and runtime. Our customers run mission-critical assets; their security teams ask hard questions, and your work is the answer.

Build observability teams can act on — alerts that mean something at 3am, and self-service dashboards so engineers answer their own questions.

Lead and mentor the engineers building on your platform, and work out what they’ll need in six months before they ask.
