About the role

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and helpful DevOps Engineer to join our tech team in order to enable technical excellence.

We’re a pragmatic team here at Superscript; we host on Heroku and Netlify and don’t have K8s in our stack. Our continuous pipeline is fully automated, and we release code to production multiple times a day.

This role’s mission is to make our engineers as happy as possible. You will be building a platform to make our developer experience a joy and our code to run in production like a well oiled machine.

  • Creating and maintaining internal tooling
  • Interacting with teams and engineering leadership to find pain points
  • Ensuring our CI/CD practices are the best they can be
  • Keeping up to date with the latest trends in software engineering and DevOps
  • Meeting and exceeding our internal and partner SLA’s
  • Balancing tech direction and business value

  • Appreciation for our tech stack: Laravel, Heroku, Netlify, Event Sourcing
  • Passionate about empowering engineers and developer experience

  • Experience with AWS (Heroku and Netlify a big plus)
  • Knowledge or when (and when not) to use Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes
  • The ability to create simple solutions for complex problems

In return, we offer you:

  • A competitive salary and the ability to grow your career at the UK’s leading insurtech 🚀
  • An amazing team and founders, supportive board and investors 🤗
  • 25 days holiday - so there’s plenty of time for work, rest and play 🏖
