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.

They are seeking an experienced Senior Python Developer to help evolve and extend their platform while guiding technical direction and supporting team development. This role centres on solving real-world problems and making thoughtful technical decisions that balance business impact with engineering trade-offs. You will work closely with Product Managers, Designers, and engineers to take ideas from inception through to production, ensuring we build the right solutions for our customers. You will act as both a senior technical contributor and a product-minded engineer, someone who doesn't just implement requirements but actively shapes them. You will challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and help ensure they are solving meaningful problems in the most effective way. You will contribute to technical strategy by identifying opportunities to improve system reliability, performance, and user experience within their current architecture, while also supporting the evolution of our strategic platform. This role will play a key part in driving the adoption of AI across engineering, leveraging emerging technologies and embedding AI-native workflows to improve how they design, build, and deliver software. This role is predominantly hands-on, with around 20-30% of time on technical leadership: architecture, mentoring, and shaping how the team works. Key Responsibilities Help the team move faster by adopting AI-native workflows and the shift to an agentic development life cycle, without compromising the architectural qualities that make their platform reliable, scalable, and maintainable over the long term. Define guardrails, review practices, and validation gates that hold AI-generated code to our standards for security, reliability, and cost-efficiency (FinOps). These are first-class concerns in agentic pipelines, not afterthoughts. Design, build, and operate software across their platform, applying the same rigour to AI-augmented work as to anything else you ship. Embed deeply with Product and Design from the earliest stages of discovery, using rapid prototyping and iteration to compress the gap between idea and validated solution. Act as feature lead on a rotating basis, taking accountability for the development and delivery of a feature from shaping through to production. This means partnering with Product and Design on the approach, breaking the work down, coordinating the engineers contributing to it, removing blockers, and being the person who knows the state of the feature at any point. Shape platform architecture with an architectural lens, contributing to long-term decisions about how AI tooling, LLM integrations, and human-in-the-loop controls evolve across the stack. Continuously identify and exploit opportunities to improve performance, reliability, and user experience, using observability and analysis to find signals in noisy systems. Navigate confidently across Legacy and greenfield contexts, applying AI tooling pragmatically to modernise where it matters most. Set the engineering standard, demonstrating through your own work what excellent looks like when much of the code is AI-generated. Grow the team's capability and confidence with AI-native practices, coaching more junior engineers to think critically about model outputs, prompt design, and the boundaries of automation. Define and evolve best practices for code quality, testing, documentation, and delivery in a world where much of the first draft is AI-generated. Evolve CI/CD pipelines to incorporate agentic workflows, automated testing, AI-assisted code review, and intelligent deployment gates. About you You're a hands-on senior engineer with a product mindset and the judgement to know which trade-offs matter. You care about business impact as much as engineering quality, and you've been building with AI tools long enough to know how to use them effectively. You'll likely bring: Deep experience building scalable, secure, cloud-based systems, giving you the foundation to confidently guide and validate agentic workflow outputs. Proven ability to work across both Legacy and greenfield codebases, using modern tooling to improve reliability and evolve architecture pragmatically. Strong system design fundamentals across scalability, performance, and distributed systems, including API design (REST, GraphQL). Hands-on experience with observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) and a data-informed approach to system health and reliability. Solid SQL and data management skills, with an appreciation for AI-enabled, data-driven systems. Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker), and DevSecOps practices in modern AI development environments. A pragmatic approach to testing, knowing what to cover, what to skip, and how to use AI to improve efficiency. Experience mentoring engineers and supporting the adoption of modern tools and AI-native workflows. Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly. You'll stand out if you: Ask "what problem are we solving and why?" before reaching for a solution. Act as a genuine partner to Product and Design, shaping the problem, not just delivering against a spec. Balance technical debt and feature delivery with long-term business value in mind. Make confident decisions with incomplete information and thrive in fast-moving, evolving environments. Bring curiosity and hands-on experience with agentic workflows, using them to raise the bar for engineering. Excellent training and career development opportunities exist for the role right candidate. Basic salary £80-110,000 + excellent benefits Based London/hybrid
