About the Company:
Our client is a fast-growing Manchester-based scale-up with a global reputation for helping Financial Services firms manage risk through cutting-edge archiving and supervision solutions. Their platform captures and monitors all digital communications—whether it’s emails, MS Teams conversations, or iMessages—to ensure businesses stay compliant with regulations, avoiding costly fines like the $3bn issued by the SEC in 2023.
Their mission is simple: to allow firms to communicate freely and confidently, with the knowledge that all communications are monitored and flagged in real-time for non-compliance. Having recently secured significant investment from a US growth equity firm, they are now poised for the next stage of rapid expansion, and they’re looking for top talent to help take them to the next level.

Data Sovereignty: Choose any location for storing your data to comply with procurement and storage regulations.

SaaS Platform: Utilise an intuitive platform to access all archives, complete with full-text search, analysis, and reporting features.
Search & Download: Easily search for and download archives straight from the platform.
Responsibilities:
Lead and mentor the DevOps team, focusing on SRE and SIP.
Ensure smooth production platform operations, monitoring, and Linux administration.
Manage AWS services, CI/CD workflows, and infrastructure as code with Terraform.
Collaborate with software teams to enhance developer experience and address security.
What You Bring:
Expertise in cloud and DevOps, with strong leadership and mentoring skills.
Deep knowledge of AWS, Bash, Python, and potentially JavaScript.
Proven experience in hiring and building effective engineering teams.
Strategic thinking and exceptional communication skills.
