Python in one hand, infrastructure-as-code in the other? Come automate a plant at serious scale.

Our client is a market leader in the financial and trading space, right in the middle of a DevOps transformation. You'll build the real-time APIs and back-end integrations that turn desired state into actual state across a huge, highly automated F5 and Infoblox environment — making infrastructure-on-demand a reality. Ideal for a Python developer who's automated a network, compute or middleware plant (Ansible modules or Terraform providers a real plus) — or a network/compute engineer who's been scripting low-level config and wants to go all-in on automation.

You'll

  • Build automation for certification and plant management with Python and Ansible
  • Extend and integrate APIs to deliver infrastructure-on-demand
  • Automate lab-based testing for new hardware and software certification
  • Work with stakeholders to design well-architected solutions that meet real business needs

You bring

  • Strong automation experience with Ansible, Python, shell or similar
  • F5 LTM & GTM expertise — TMSH, iControl and iRules
  • Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, BGP, HTTP, SSL) and you're at home on Linux
  • Knowledge of distributed web applications and their underlying infrastructure Bonus points for Infoblox, Cisco/Arista, containers and virtualisation, other languages, or vendor certifications.

On offer £90,000, fully remote in the UK after a 4–6 week London onboarding, and a genuine DevOps culture working on critical infrastructure at scale.
