Role description
Contract DevOps Engineer | Up to £325 Outside IR35 | 3 months (rolling) | Remote, UK
A leading consultancy and software company working on large-scale optimisation projects in the water resources and infrastructure space is seeking a DevOps Engineer to help deliver a key initial 3-month project. This role will focus on building a scalable system for deploying compute-intensive optimisation jobs on a cluster, with automated scheduling, data storage, and API integration.
About the Project
The goal is to create a system that:
• Submits optimisation jobs via an existing API.
• Automatically deploys them on a compute cluster with the requested cores.
• Stores outputs in a big data database for future analysis.
Required Skills:
• Strong experience with Slurm or similar job schedulers.
• Expertise in Docker (Kubernetes experience a plus).
• Big data database design (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Hadoop/S3).
• Proficiency in Python for API integration.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
• Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
On offer:
• Up to £325 Outside IR35 p/d
• Remote (UK)
• 3 months (rolling)
If you enjoy building complex compute systems from the ground up and thrive on hands-on engineering challenges, this project offers the chance to design and deploy a cutting-edge optimisation platform at scale.
• Due to high volume of applicants, not all candidates will receive feedback
