Role
Who you are
- Extensive experience designing and managing scalable, multi-cloud environments across GCP and AWS
- Advanced expertise in Terraform for infrastructure as code
- Proven experience leading cloud migration projects, including on-premises to cloud transitions and hybrid infrastructure
- Deep expertise in Kubernetes, including optimising and managing containerised workloads at scale
- A track record of tackling complex tech debt, driving critical upgrades and risk mitigation with a business-focused approach
- Strong understanding of modern DevOps practices including automation, observability, and CI/CD pipeline management
- Experience working in high-growth environments where tech stacks change quickly and priorities shift
- We are open-minded about background, and we care more about how you think and operate than whether your CV maps perfectly to the list below
- Proactive and hands-on. You identify what needs doing and get on with it
- Commercially aware. You make infrastructure decisions with business impact in mind, not just technical elegance
- Curious about where the DevOps and AI space is heading and keen to bring that thinking into your work
- A strong communicator who can work effectively across engineering and non-engineering teams
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to prioritise well when everything feels urgent
What the job involves
- As Senior DevOps Engineer you will own the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of our cloud infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform and AWS
- You will work across a genuinely varied brief: multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes cluster management, cloud migration, CI/CD, and tackling the kind of legacy tech debt that accumulates in a fast-growing business
- This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape how we build and operate infrastructure at scale. You will work closely with engineering, product, and IT teams, and you will be expected to bring both technical depth and a strong point of view on what good looks like
- You will also be someone who keeps a close eye on how AI is changing the DevOps landscape and brings that thinking into how we work
- Architect and deploy robust, multi-cloud systems across GCP and AWS, ensuring scalability, reliability, and strong performance
- Lead cloud migration projects, including on-premises to cloud transitions, hybrid solutions, and infrastructure automation across multiple sites and providers
- Build infrastructure that scales with rapid business growth, including integrating and automating diverse tech stacks acquired through new market expansion
- Manage Kubernetes clusters, optimising containerised workloads through provider-managed services and continuously improving efficiency and reliability
- Establish and evolve best practices for CI/CD, infrastructure as code using Terraform, and system performance monitoring
- Lead critical upgrades, patching, and infrastructure clean-up to de-risk legacy systems and strengthen our technical foundation
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve infrastructure challenges proactively and independently
- Keep pace with AI-driven developments and emerging DevOps tooling, bringing relevant innovations into how we operate
- Work closely with engineering, product, and IT teams to align infrastructure goals with business needs
- Communicate clearly about infrastructure decisions, trade-offs, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Contribute to a culture of shared ownership, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence across the team
- Our tech stack:
- Cloud: Google Cloud Platform and AWS
- Infrastructure as code: Terraform
- Containerisation: Kubernetes across cloud and on-premises datacentres
- Product stack: Ruby on Rails backend, React frontend, some Clojure services
- CI/CD: in active development and improvement

Our take
Board Intelligence has been helping boards to make smarter, faster decisions for more than two decades, and it has been turning that knowledge into software since 2008. With thousands of users engaged on its platform, BI works with FTSE 100s and large privately-owned companies, as well as public sector and government departments.
The company's product is smart board report packs supported by its AI tool Lucia, which helps to evaluate the balance of board reports. It also offers a secure portal for board pack distributions and has its own advisory consultancy arm. BI's mission is definitely ambitious, and it will need full support from the up-and-coming young generation of board members to favour the adoption of its smart board packs.
In 2024, it sold a majority stake in its company to K1 Investments off the back of a doubling of valuation over 3 years. With international support behind it, and an impressive client list including the likes of John Lewis and ITV, Board Intelligence is an established presence with ample opportunity for future success.
