About the role

Ready to automate, innovate and make a real impact? Do you want to build reliable, scalable systems that make a real difference to millions of people? Do you want to work at a certified B Corp with an inclusive and learning culture as part of a diverse team of great people? If so, Opencast could be the place for you. We’re a growing tech consultancy that creates user-centred solutions with purpose for our clients in government, healthcare and purpose-driven businesses. Working in DevOps, you’ll build and maintain the systems that let teams respond quickly to needs. You’ll work on high-impact projects, helping to build reliable, scalable systems. We align work to industry-recognised roles such as Build & Release Engineer (BRE), Platform Engineer (PLE) or Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) and, where needed, to more specialised areas such as security, cloud hosting, infrastructure or networking. The Role At Opencast, we love to keep things simple, and we love automation. It’s not the same as your standard DevOps Consultant job. Depending on your client’s needs, you’ll take on a range of roles. These will include: • Taking the lead on responding to outages, triaging issues, balancing stakeholder priorities/concerns, and keeping communication channels open with all parties. • Developing, and implementing continuous deployment solutions that help our clients to deliver software faster and more efficiently. • Collaborating with our clients to understand their ways of working and will have an enthusiasm to learn new tools and technologies as needed. • Contributing within Opencast communities. • Ensure that work is carried out in accordance with Opencast's quality, environmental, and information security policies and procedures, as well as applicable customer policies, standards, and procedures while working on client. We care about building things right. We believe in good DevOps practices and keeping things simple. We want to support you as much as we can on interiorising our approach to DevOps engineering and you supporting others. We are proud consultants who combine our own experience and approach with our company values. We are comfortable with new tech. We are empowered, cloud native, vendor agnostic DevOps engineers. We are empathetic, patient and care about quality. We know when to pick our battles and how to manage expectations. We are humble, inclusive team players that listen and collaborate, with zero egos! We’re always willing to teach and help others (inside or outside of our team). And we’re always willing to learn. It’s a varied job that keeps you super technical and excited. Requirements This role involves weekly on-site work, and you’ll be required to travel regularly to client locations across the UK. We’re looking for people who value in-person collaboration, enjoy building strong relationships, and are passionate about delivering solutions that make a real difference for our clients. Due to the nature of this role, you must either hold active Security Check (SC) clearance or be eligible and willing to undergo the clearance process.   SC clearance is granted in line with UK Government security vetting requirements. Typically, applicants must have UK citizenship and have lived continuously in the UK for at least the past five years, with no single absence exceeding 28 consecutive days. Nationality and immigration status may also be considered as part of the vetting process. We are unable to progress applications from candidates who do not meet these requirements. If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility criteria, we encourage you to review the guidance or discuss this with us before applying. We’re looking to welcome new team members for multiple roles from June 2026 onward. If you’re inter
