Senior DevOps Engineer

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone. 

LUSH Digital offers a range of exciting online and in store experiences for our customers. Developers of many disciplines are responsible for creating and developing new innovations in technology, as well as providing and maintaining a global digital estate across multiple platforms and devices. 

We love open source! The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is always our first port of call when a requirement for a new tool comes up. Whenever we can, the code we produce is made public for all to use.

Overview:
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will join a collaborative team dedicated to evolving our global digital infrastructure. Your focus will be on building and refining the tools that empower our engineering team to reliably deploy, monitor, and scale their applications. 

A key strategic priority for LUSH Digital is our transition away from big-tech reliance; you will play a pivotal role in this journey by researching, scoping, and implementing open-source solutions that enhance our independence and development velocity. We are looking for a proactive engineer passionate about automation, reliability, and modern cloud-native practices to help shape the future of our platform.
