Financial Institutions use Finova to launch products faster, process applications up to 50% more efficiently and reduce operational costs - all while staying fully compliant in a fast-moving market. About the Role: As the Cloud Operations Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operational health, stability, and continuous improvement of the cloud-hosted environments for multiple clients within our product suites. You will bridge the gap between high-level cloud strategy and technical execution, ensuring that our production environments are resilient, secure, and performant. Acting as the primary authority for operational delivery within your remit, you will lead a team of Cloud Operations Engineers. You will maintain high service availability while driving modern practices such as automation, toil reduction, and proactive resilience testing. A core focus of this role is leadership: providing daily mentorship, administrative oversight, and clear career pathways for your team.

Operational Excellence & Service Management: Manage day-to-day capacity, priorities, and workloads to consistently meet availability and performance SLAs. Embed ITIL-aligned service management practices (incident, problem, and change processes) to drive continuous improvement. Team Leadership & Development: Own the capability and growth of your team through formal line management, coaching, and career development. Maintain a high-quality technical wiki and skills matrix to eliminate silos. Automation & Toil Reduction: Eliminate operational waste by identifying repetitive manual tasks and directing Senior Engineers to prioritize automation and self-healing infrastructure. Operational Gatekeeping: Conduct readiness checks on new releases to ensure they meet strict standards for monitoring, documentation, and long-term supportability. Resilience & Security: Facilitate regular Game Days, disaster recovery drills, and coordinate third-party penetration testing and remediation. Lead blameless post-mortems after significant incidents. Escalation & On-Call Management: Act as a senior escalation point for platform/application issues. Manage (and participate in/provide cover for) the out-of-hours on-call rotation for P1/P2 incidents and deployments. Compliance & Audit: Feed into the departmental risk register and coordinate evidence, controls, and documentation required for regulatory and customer audits (e.g., ISO 27001/ISO 9001). FinOps & Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as the primary point of contact for internal/external queries. Collaborate with FinOps/Finance to improve cost transparency, tagging discipline, and resource optimization.

Flexible holiday package Enjoy 25 days paid holiday allowance, plus all public holidays. And, you can rebook any public holidays for a day that aligns with your personal beliefs or celebration calendar. We also offer holiday trading allowing you to purchase or sell your holiday allowance. Company pension scheme With salary exchange, you save on tax and can build a secure future. Employee assistance programme We understand that mental health is just as important as physical health. Access to a 24/7 confidential counselling helpline ensures you have support when you need it. Electric car scheme Get a brand-new electric vehicle with salary sacrifice as a benefit, paid for through your gross monthly pay, saving on Income Tax and National Insurance. Health cash plan Our Health Cash Plan empowers you to prioritise your wellbeing by providing effortless reimbursement for everyday healthcare costs, from dental and optical visits to physiotherapy.

Change & Release Support: Execute approved infrastructure changes following strict security controls. Support delivery teams with automated deployments and troubleshoot failed or degraded CI/CD releases. Database Support: Provide operational support for Microsoft SQL Server (health checks, job monitoring, basic triage, backup verification) and collaborate with DBA teams for deeper optimizations. Monitoring & Observability: Own and optimize monitoring tools (Datadog, CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray) to catch genuine service-impacting issues while reducing alert fatigue.

Role Overview At VoCoVo, our retail communications solution runs on a large estate of Linux-based edge devices, our 'Controller', deployed at customers' premises. These devices are the beating heart of our in store experience, and keeping them reliable, secure and up to date at scale is a serious engineering challenge. As Technical Lead you will report to the Head of Architecture and Platform, with day to day support from a Principal Platform Engineer. You'll lead a newly formed Edge Platform Team responsible for the OS, runtime environment and device management infrastructure that underpins our entire on premise estate. You will own the evolution of our Edge Platform, moving us from our current home grown Debian based OS towards a modern, production grade edge computing platform, including the evaluation and adoption of Kubernetes at the edge and immutable OS images. We will work closely with internal development teams, Platform Operations, Internal Developer Experience and Cloud Applications teams. Your customers are our own engineering teams, and you will split your time approximately 60% on technical leadership and 40% on line management and team building. Please note, to apply for this position you must be based in the UK and have the legal right to work in the UK. This role is largely remote but would require visits to our Oxfordshire or Cheltenham offices approximately once a month for team meet ups/key meetings. What we're looking for Deep, hands on experience with Linux, including system configuration, init systems, networking and storage. Experience working with edge or embedded Linux, including building or maintaining distributions or custom OS images (Debian/Ubuntu based would be a strong plus, but not essential). Cloud native engineering experience, ideally with Go and Kubernetes (controller mechanisms, Kubebuilder), with familiarity in TypeScript being a bonus. Strong hands on experience with container orchestration using Kubernetes in production, ideally with lightweight or edge focused distributions (K3s, K0s, MicroK8s). Experience with image build tooling and immutable OS concepts, familiarity with tools such as Kairos, OSTree is highly desirable. Practical exposure to observability at scale, including metrics, logging, alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) and hands on experience with OpenTelemetry. Experience operating or building infrastructure to manage, monitor and update large fleets of remote devices. Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain platform concepts to engineers, architects and non technical stakeholders. Nice to have skills Experience with OTA (over the air) update frameworks such as RAUC, Mender or SWUpdate. Familiarity with GitOps workflows and tools such as Flux or ArgoCD. Experience working with messaging protocols such as MQTT or Sparkplug IoT. Scripting and test automation experience (Bash, Goss, Serverspec). Experience working with cloud platforms, ideally Azure. Experience delivering solutions in retail or other complex, real world environments. What you'll do Lead the team's technical work on the VoCoVo Edge Platform, from OS image build pipelines through to runtime orchestration and device lifecycle management. Own the evaluation, adoption and rollout of Kubernetes at the edge across our device estate. Drive the evolution of our OS towards maintainable, immutable, production grade edge images. Design and implement secure, reliable OTA update mechanisms for OS and workload delivery at scale. Take ownership of the edge platform's observability, reliability and security, including driving adoption of OpenTelemetry across the edge estate. Contribute to the technical roadmap, researching new approaches and producing demonstrations and proofs of concept. Provide day to day line management for a team of 3-4 engineers, supporting delivery and team wellbeing. Build and nurture a supportive, inclusive and enjoyable team environment where people can thrive. Coach and develop team members, supporting both VoCoVo's goals and individual career growth. Collaborate with the Software Architect and other Team Leads to make and document well reasoned, evidence based architectural decisions. Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks, particularly those associated with operating at scale in real world retail environments. Plan ahead to support the needs of stream aligned teams building on the platform. Conduct code reviews and champion high engineering standards to ensure quality and consistency. Act as a technical sounding board and peer reviewer for other VoCoVo teams. Identify skill gaps within the team and address them through targeted training and recruitment.
