Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

Olatti runs on our own infrastructure, on our own hardware, in UK data centres. That's a deliberate choice: it's how we keep customer data where it belongs and how we keep a real-time product feeling instant. We're looking for a senior engineer to add depth to the team that runs it. You'll work across virtualisation, storage, container orchestration and the automation that holds it all together. Production Kubernetes experience is the single biggest win here; Proxmox and Ceph knowledge close behind. The role is hybrid from our Southampton office - a few days a week with the team, the rest from home, with data centre visits when the work calls for it.

What you'll do

• Operate and improve our Proxmox VE virtualisation estate across data centre sites.
• Own storage performance and integrity: architecture, replication, backups, and recovery procedures that are actually tested.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Ansible and Terraform - the estate should be reproducible, not folklore.
• Run container orchestration day to day and help lead our path deeper into Kubernetes.
• Keep monitoring and alerting sharp, so problems are found by us and not by customers.
• Write things down: runbooks, diagrams and clear proposals for the changes worth making.
• Get hands-on in the data centre when the work calls for it.

What we're looking for

• Five or more years in DevOps or infrastructure roles at modern companies - SaaS or infrastructure-heavy environments ideally.
• Production Kubernetes experience - designing, running and debugging real workloads. This is the biggest win.
• Proxmox experience, especially Ceph and block storage - a close second.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code habits with Ansible, Terraform or similar.
• Linux administration at scale, bare metal and virtual.
• Comfortable in production-critical environments where uptime is non-negotiable.
• UK-based, within reach of Southampton for office days and data centre visits.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Work on a product that genuinely improves how businesses operate.
• Flexible hours and remote-friendly working.
• Real budget and time for professional development.
• A supportive, low-ego team that ships.
