Foundational DevOps / SRE Engineer – Telecom Security Startup

London / Hybrid

Numi are partnered with an exciting early-stage venture backed by leading global telecoms. They’re on a mission to restore trust in voice communication with next-generation network-native security and AI-powered services. This is a foundational hire – you’ll help build the platform, shape the engineering culture, and have real impact from day one.

The Role

This isn’t pipeline maintenance. You’ll take full ownership of platform reliability, performance, and security, powering mission-critical, low-latency products and AI-driven features.

What You’ll Own

Build and manage cloud infrastructure from scratch with Terraform
Lead Zero Trust security implementation: micro-segmentation, strict IAM, mTLS, immutable logs
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for microservices
Own observability and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
Manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS), real-time data streams (Kafka), and high-performance APIs
Embed compliance into infrastructure (GDPR, PIPA)
Co-own incident response and alerting to maintain 99.9%+ uptime

What We’re Looking For

3–5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering
Terraform / IaC expertise
Strong AWS, Docker, Kubernetes experience
CI/CD pipeline design experience
Observability stack experience
Scripting skills (Python, Go, or similar)

Nice-to-Haves

Zero Trust / mTLS experience
Low-latency / high-throughput systems experience
Apache Kafka expertise
Kubernetes automation tools (e.g., ArgoCD)

Who You Are

A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership end-to-end, thrives in fast-paced, high-impact environments, and handles sensitive data responsibly.
