Senior DevOps / Software Engineer (PHP)

Role: Senior DevOps / Software Engineer (PHP)

Salary: £70,000 per annum (circa)

Location: Cardiff Bay (flexibility around attendance in the office)

Hours: Full time OR Part time options

About the Role

This role sits within an embedded insurance platform serving the luxury goods sector. Following a rebrand and major platform upgrades, their growth strategy centres on global market expansion, adding new consumer product verticals, and integrating next-generation authentication tech. The business is growing and currently does not have sufficient infrastructure workload to justify a full-time DevOps-only function. The role is primarily focused on DevOps and cloud infrastructure.

However, as part of a lean product engineering team, you will also contribute to PHP feature work and technical improvements when required.

This is not a generalist role disguised as a specialism; the DevOps and cloud architecture responsibilities are the primary mandate, and the PHP/Vue.js work is a defined secondary requirement.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

• Review and maintain the AWS infrastructure across core services
• Lead infrastructure implementation for expansion into new territories
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices and architecture decisions

CI/CD & Platform Reliability

• Manage CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket and GitHub to deploy containerised applications
• Monitor and improve platform reliability and scalability
• Support application security and cloud governance

Full-Stack Development

• Deliver feature work in PHP alongside the development team
• Work directly with engineers, product managers, and designers on day-to-day delivery

Experience Required

• Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer or Full-Stack Developer with AWS DevOps responsibilities, in a product-led environment
• Hands-on production experience with AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker
• Working knowledge of Laravel PHP and Vue.js, sufficient to contribute to feature development

Desirable

• Experience with WordPress, Shopify, or Magento

What's on Offer

• Salary: Circa £70,000, dependent on experience
• Hybrid working, Cardiff CF10
• Company pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Employee discounts and subsidised travel
• Sabbatical eligibility after a qualifying period of service
• Casual dress
