Senior DevOps Engineer (Contract)

Rate: £375 per day (Inside IR35)

Duration: 6 Months

Location: Hybrid (London)

Tech: Terraform & AWS (Kinesis focus)

We are looking for a contract Senior DevOps Engineer for a 6-month project. You will be joining an IT consultancy team working with a major UK insurance and financial services company.

The focus of this role is heavily on Terraform and AWS - specifically getting stuck into infrastructure unblocking, integrations, and pipeline fixes.

Responsibilities

Integrations & Security: Handle connections to systems like Guidewire and Dataiku. Sort out the network, IAM, and data access requirements.
Third-Party Support: Work alongside major global consulting partners to help with environment setups, manage security ticketing, and fix infrastructure issues.
CI/CD & Deployment: Troubleshoot pipeline failures (Artifactory, vulnerability scans) and set up CI/CD for feature-level deployments.
Event Streaming: Provision and maintain Amazon Kinesis (pending final architectural decisions).
Triage & Fixes: Run root cause analysis on platform service errors and loop in the right engineering teams to resolve them.
LLM Setup: Support the AI side by testing model latency, stripping out infrastructure overhead, and handling PTU setup and load testing.
Monitoring: Work with the Ops team and Platform Manager on monitoring and alerting to keep services reliable and highly available (RESCAT-0).
Environment Support: Handle environment provisioning, managing secrets, certificates, and general Terraform readiness.
Voice Architecture: Support fallback voice architecture (Azure Live) if needed.
Enablement & Handover: Build shared components or boilerplates so the team doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, then hand over cleanly to the permanent Ops team.

Requirements

Strong Terraform skills for provisioning and managing infrastructure as code.
Solid AWS experience, ideally with Amazon Kinesis or other streaming tools.
Practical experience troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines and security tooling.
Comfortable working in large, multi-vendor enterprise environments.
