What do we need

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer, with a Software Engineering background for our M-Star team. M-Star is modern computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that provides first-principles modelling tools for scientists and engineers, generating predictions that are functionally indistinguishable from measured data.

As the Senior Cloud Infrastructure you will maintain and enhance our cloud-based infrastructure. This role combines DevOps, AWS-based deployment, and IT Security. The engineer should have strong experience managing deployed DevOps systems in the cloud. You will spearhead our ISO 27001 effort and maintain compliance with corporate security requirements.

You will work in a small yet highly effective and efficient specialised team, who deliver world class CFD software to multiple industries including Life Sciences, Chemical Material, Industrial and much more. In this role will work alongside colleagues who have the brightest minds, holding PhDs and who regularly write research papers and speak at conferences. The opportunity to learn is vast!
