DevOps Support Engineer – Contract – Cardiff (Hybrid - 3 days p/week in Cardiff)
£275 pday | 12 months initially - potential long term project
A long-term DevOps contract opportunity for someone with a solid infrastructure background who wants to break deeper into automation and modern DevOps tooling. The rate will tell you that this is not a senior DevOps role – a lot of the work is foundational, admin-level and will suit someone looking to grow into a more automation-focused position over time. If you have an Intrastructure and Scritping background and have an interest in moving toward automation and DevOps please consider applying for this one.
The Role:
-
Support and maintain CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (basic-level work)
-
Script and automate routine tasks (Python, Bash, PowerShell etc.)
-
Work with version control systems (Git)
-
Assist in building scalable infrastructure using Terraform
-
Collaborate with engineering teams on firmware-focused projects (not a software product environment)
You’ll Need:
-
Strong infrastructure or sysadmin background
-
Confident scripting (Python preferred, but Bash/PowerShell fine)
-
Experience with basic version control
-
Exposure to Terraform or interest in learning
-
Comfortable with hands-on support, troubleshooting and setup tasks
Nice to Have:
-
Any experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Nexus etc.)
-
Familiarity with firmware environments rather than software
-
Interest in DevOps and automation as a long-term direction
