DevOps Development Engineer

Build and automate cloud infrastructure that supports meaningful application modernisation

Develop your cloud engineering expertise in a collaborative Agile delivery team

Hybrid 80% homeworking and 20% from Stratford upon Avon

At NFU Mutual, you’ll join an Agile cloud engineering team that builds infrastructure solutions in response to business demand. Working from designs created by cloud specialists, you’ll turn agreed designs into working solutions and help modernise applications that have moved from on premises infrastructure to the cloud.

You’ll configure, develop, test and integrate cloud infrastructure, working with colleagues across technical, application and project teams. You’ll contribute through agile methodologies, strengthen automation, and help improve resilience, security and cost efficiency.

You’ll also interpret solution designs, support detailed technical design, apply new tools and approaches, document the handover of platform components into business as usual operations and help resolve live technical incidents and system problems.

Beyond the day to day technical delivery, you'll be joining a supportive team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced cloud specialists, deepen your engineering expertise and play a meaningful role in NFU Mutual's cloud modernisation journey. Whether you're building on existing Azure experience or bringing transferable knowledge from another cloud platform, you'll be supported to develop your skills and grow your impact over time.

However, we understand how important a positive work-life balance is, so to help you give your best, we offer great facilities when you want to be in an office environment and support to work up to 80% of your hours from home.

You’re a hands on cloud engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and turning designs into reliable working solutions. You bring an analytical approach, close attention to detail and the confidence to challenge established thinking constructively. With a strong learning mindset, you adapt as priorities change, take ownership of your contribution and work effectively within a technical team while supporting customers.
