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.

\n
• Integrations & Security: Handle connections to systems like Guidewire and Dataiku. Sort out the network, IAM, and data access requirements.
\n
• Third-Party Support: Work alongside major global consulting partners to help with environment setups, manage security ticketing, and fix infrastructure issues.
\n
• CI/CD & Deployment: Troubleshoot pipeline failures (Artifactory, vulnerability scans) and set up CI/CD for feature-level deployments.
\n
• Event Streaming: Provision and maintain Amazon Kinesis (pending final architectural decisions).
\n
• Triage & Fixes: Run root cause analysis on platform service errors and loop in the right engineering teams to resolve them.
\n
• LLM Setup: Support the AI side by testing model latency, stripping out infrastructure overhead, and handling PTU setup and load testing.
\n
• Monitoring: Work with the Ops team and Platform Manager on monitoring and alerting to keep services reliable and highly available (RESCAT-0).
\n
• Environment Support: Handle environment provisioning, managing secrets, certificates, and general Terraform readiness.
\n
• Voice Architecture: Support fallback voice architecture (Azure Live) if needed.
\n
• 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.
\n

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