The business is a global leader in their market operating across 90 countries with £6.5bn group revenue (FY 2025). They're building out their digital innovation capability to support tens of thousands of IoT devices deployed globally. This is a permanent, position reporting to the IT Operations Manager, offering a competitive salary plus bonus. The role is UK-based with remote/hybrid flexibility.
You'd be joining their digital innovation team, responsible for automating and managing cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines for IoT firmware/application deployments, and ensuring reliable operations of IoT systems across multiple regions. Key responsibilities include designing/maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automating build/test/deployment processes, managing version control for multiple development teams, implementing cloud infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.), managing optimised cloud infrastructure (GCP — they are a Google House), developing/managing IoT devices (LNS, return commands, firmware updates), implementing staged rollout strategies with rollback capabilities, security best practices for IoT device authentication and data transmission, and designing comprehensive monitoring/alerting systems.
They're looking for strong experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or similar), proficiency in GCP with IoT service experience, solid scripting skills (Python, Java, Bash, PowerShell), Infrastructure-as-Code knowledge, understanding of IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/REST APIs), and version control/branching strategies. Desirable experience includes working with LoRaWAN, IoT-specific experience with LNS and managing registers/IoT devices, embedded systems understanding, monitoring tools knowledge (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, CloudWatch), networking/VPNs/security protocols for IoT, regulated/compliance-driven environments, and Agile/DevOps methodologies familiarity.
