Lead DevOps Engineer

the opportunity to contribute to emerging platform initiatives, including work that supports AI enablement across the engineering organisation. This is a high-impact role with real scope to influence how engineering works at Liberis! What you'll get to do in the role: Own and evolve the service template library for .NET, Node.js, and Python — covering project scaffolding, dependency management, containerisation, local dev setup, and production configuration. Templates are generated, not forked, so keeping them current and opinionated matters. Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates in GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps, covering build, test, security scanning, and deployment — consistent across stacks and reusable across teams. Define and ship observability standards: structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting integrated into service templates so every new service is production-ready from day one. Work hands-on with Datadog, incident.io, and/or GCP/Azure-native logging and monitoring tooling to build the platform-level observability layer teams plug into. Contribute to our thinking on a potential Azure-to-GCP migration — helping assess what changes for developer tooling and service templates and building proof-of-concept work that informs the decision. Partner with product engineers to understand where developer experience breaks down — slow pipelines, confusing templates, missing runbooks — and fix the root causes, not the symptoms. Lead technical decisions on platform tooling: evaluate new tools, write ADRs, and drive adoption of improvements across multiple engineering teams. Mentor engineers in the Cloud Platform team and act as a go-to resource for product engineers getting to grips with platform tooling. The interview process: Screening call with Chess (Internal Recruiter) (30 mins) Video interview with the Hiring Manager (45 mins) In person code pairing interview with a member of Engineering team (1 hour) Video interview with the wider Liberis team (1 hour) What we think you'll need: Proficient in at least one of .NET (C#), Node.js and Python — able to build, configure, and template production-grade services in each. Strong GCP experience (Azure experience is nice to have) Hands-on experience designing reusable CI/CD pipeline templates — GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps — consistent across stacks and teams. Comfortable with containerisation (Docker) and deployment on Kubernetes or Cloud Run. Observability experience with at least one of: Datadog, incident.io, or cloud-native logging and monitoring (GCP Cloud Operations or Azure Monitor). Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform. A proven track record of driving adoption — building things engineers use, writing docs that get read.
