Apto Solutions
Pembroke Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 3BA, UK
Who this is for
An early-career engineering role inside Operate, our managed service. Security or observability background — either is welcome.
You have been working for eighteen months to three years in a hands-on technical role — a platform team, a SOC or security engineering team, an MSP or MSSP, an infrastructure or DevOps team, a vendor’s support or professional services desk — and you are looking for your first move. You have had your hands on something that runs in production and matters to somebody. You want to go deeper, faster, in a smaller business where the work you do is seen. This is not a graduate scheme and it is not a helpdesk. It is a real engineering seat with real customers, real supervision and a clear path up.
The Role
This is a hands-on engineering role inside Operate, our managed service. You will help run customer telemetry platforms day to day, improve them, and contribute to the platform that lets us run them well. You will do this as part of a small engineering pool, with a senior engineer checking your work before it reaches a customer and a line manager who is accountable for your development.
Operate has two shapes and you will work in both.
Operate Core is always-on. It is continuous ownership of a customer’s platform — health, ingestion, data quality, alerting, upgrades, capacity. There is no handover and no final deliverable. The platform is ours to keep healthy for as long as the customer is ours. Success is measured in the absence of surprises and in the platform being demonstrably better in six months than it is today.
Operate Attach is sprint-based improvement. A customer has a defined problem — noisy alerts, a data source that will not normalise, ingest costs running away, a detection gap, a migration — and we take a scoped block of work and fix it. Attach has a start, a shape and an end. It sits on top of Core, for the same customers, with the same engineers.
Alongside that you will take a share of professional services delivery: shorter, project-shaped engagements that are usually how a customer first meets us.
What You’ll do
Everything below is done with supervision at first and with increasing independence as you show you can carry it. We will be explicit with you about where that line is and how it moves.
Day-to-day health of customer platforms.
Ingestion pipelines, data quality, alerting, licensing and capacity, upgrades and patching. You will start by owning a slice of a named customer estate, and you will be expected to notice problems before the customer does.
Incident and problem work.
Triage, diagnosis and resolution — and then the harder part, which is the root cause and the permanent fix so it does not come back.
Content and configuration.
Detections, dashboards, parsers, normalisation, alert rules, pipeline routing — built properly, peer reviewed, version controlled, documented.
Attach sprints and PS work.
Taking a defined piece of a scoped improvement, delivering it, and being able to show what changed.
Automation.
If you do something manually three times, we expect you to want to automate the fourth. Most of our platform tooling started as an engineer being annoyed by something.
Documentation and runbooks.
Your own, to a standard, every time. Undocumented work is unfinished work.
What this role is NOT
Being clear about this matters as much as the role definition itself.
It is not a SOC analyst seat.
You are not sitting in a queue triaging alerts against someone else’s runbook. You help build and run the platform that the analysts depend on.
It is not a service desk or first-line support role.
You will talk to customers about technical matters, but the work is engineering, not ticket handling.
It is not a data science role.
We work with very large volumes of machine data, but the work is systems and operations engineering, not modelling or statistics. Python and dashboards are not the same thing as running a platform.
It is not a graduate scheme.
We paused our graduate hire to open this role instead, because we want someone who has already spent time in a production environment and knows what it feels like when something breaks at an awkward hour.
It is not a project role with a finish line.
Core has no end date. If what you enjoy is shipping a thing and walking away, you will find the continuous half of this job frustrating.
Who we are looking for
We are indifferent to whether your background is security or observability. Either one is a good starting point, and the interesting work at Apto sits where the two meet — the same telemetry usually has to serve both a security question and an operational one. What we need is depth in one and genuine curiosity about the other
Experience we’re looking for
Roughly eighteen months to three years in a hands-on technical role. We care much more about what you have actually done than about the number of months attached to it, and we know that at this stage most of what you have done was somebody else’s decision. That is fine. We are looking for the shape of it.
You have had your hands on a telemetry, SIEM, observability or monitoring platform that was running in production — not only in a course or a home lab. You have onboarded a data source, tuned an alert, applied an upgrade, or been the person who had to work out why the data stopped arriving.
You have carried something over time rather than only delivering a task and moving on — a set of alerts you looked after, a customer estate you knew well, an on-call rotation, a service that was yours to keep healthy.
You are comfortable in Linux, in at least one query language, and you have written scripts that did something useful. Python is what we mostly use; anything credible is a fine starting point.
You have automated or fixed something real and you can show it. A script, a repo, a before-and-after number, a description concrete enough for us to ask sensible questions about.
You can write. A clear runbook, a readable incident note, a straight message to a customer. This is a customer-facing role.
You have worked in at least one of our vendor families — Splunk, Cribl, Sentinel, Grafana, Datadog, Elastic, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry — or a close analogue. The specific product is negotiable. Real exposure is not.
If you meet most of this and not all of it, apply anyway and tell us which parts you do not have. We would rather read an honest gap than a padded CV.
The platform work – why this is interesting
Most managed service jobs are the same job with a different logo on the ticketing system. This one is not, because we are building our own platform underneath the service and you will work on it. We have replaced a vendor-licensed telemetry backend with an open-source stack we run ourselves. A base platform (secret ;-)) On top of that sits multi-vendor collection — the pattern that lets us onboard a Splunk, a Cribl or a Sentinel customer without rebuilding it from scratch each time. Beyond that, the vendors are all shipping AI and agentic layers — MCP servers, agentic investigation, cross-vendor gateways — and we already have that work live with a customer. You will get early, hands-on exposure to it while most of the industry is still writing slide decks about it.

Business Change Manager required on a 12 month fixed term contract, to join a large-scale transformation programme within a complex organisation with a significant presence across Scotland and the UK. This is a major transformation initiative covering technology, customer journeys, ways of working and organisational culture. The organisation is investing heavily in modernising how it operate, introducing new technology with the customer experience in mind while supporting its people through a significant period of change. You'll join an established Business Change function and work alongside project teams, senior leaders and a wide range of stakeholders to make sure transformation is successfully adopted and embedded across the organisation. The Company This is a large, complex organisation operating in an environment where technology, operational efficiency and customer experience are becoming increasingly important to its future. The business is going through a significant period of modernisation, with major transformation initiatives spanning new technology, customer journeys, internal ways of working and wider cultural change. With a large and diverse workforce, successfully delivering this transformation will depend as much on how people adapt as it does on the technology itself. The organisation is therefore investing in its internal change capability, moving towards greater ownership of transformation rather than relying heavily on external consultancy support. You'll be joining a comprehensive Business Change team, working alongside experienced change professionals and having the opportunity to contribute to how change is delivered across the wider organisation. The Role You'll help deliver business change across a number of major transformation initiatives, taking responsibility from initial planning through to adoption and embedding. You'll work with project teams and senior stakeholders to understand what is changing, who will be affected and what needs to happen for people to successfully adopt new processes, technology and ways of working. This will involve developing change strategies, assessing impacts, building engagement and ensuring teams are ready for what is coming. Technology is a significant part of the programme, but this isn't purely a technology change role. A lot of the work focuses on customer journeys and how new technology can improve the customer experience, alongside wider cultural and organisational programmes. The team follows Prosci ADKAR and takes an agile approach to change, while also valuing LEAN thinking and continuous improvement. You'll be expected to use structured change management practices while adapting your approach to the needs of each programme. There is also significant stakeholder exposure, so you'll need to be comfortable working with senior leaders, project teams, training specialists and operational colleagues, providing advice and influencing decisions throughout the change journey. Key Responsibilities Lead business change activity across major transformation initiatives from strategy and planning through to adoption and embedding Develop and deliver structured change strategies and plans, using Prosci ADKAR and other appropriate change management approaches Assess the impact of changes across people, customer journeys and technology and identify the support required to transition teams successfully Work closely with project and technology teams to build change activity into transformation programmes from the outset Engage and influence senior stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor throughout the change journey Coordinate communications, engagement, readiness and training activity to help people understand and adopt new ways of working Support cultural and behavioural change programmes alongside technology and process transformation Identify opportunities to simplify and improve customer journeys and ways of working, applying LEAN thinking and continuous improvement principles Monitor adoption and readiness, identifying barriers and taking action to address them About You Proven experience delivering business change across large-scale transformation programmes, ideally with genuine end-to-end ownership Comfortable working across technology, process, people and cultural change rather than specialising in one particular area Strong knowledge of change management methodologies, ideally including Prosci ADKAR, alongside an understanding of project lifecycles and governance Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to work with senior leaders Experience working in complex, operationally critical environments with multiple stakeholders, competing priorities and significant interdependencies Ideally, experience within a regulated industry or another environment where change needs to be carefully managed Comfortable working in an agile environment with an interest in LEAN thinking and continuous improvement Pragmatic and adaptable, with the ability to apply change methodology appropriately rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach They are particularly interested in people who can demonstrate taking complex change through the full lifecycle, rather than experience focused solely on communications, training or one specific stage of a transformation. What's on Offer The role can be based from offices in Aberdeen, Perth, Glasgow or Inverness, with hybrid working available. Around 50% of your time will be spent in the office, with some travel to other UK sites depending on the requirements of the programme. The role is initially offered as a 12 month fixed term contract with a salary between 45,000 - 66,000, alongside a bonus and a comprehensive benefits package.
