  • Active, or recently active, SC or DV clearance (essential)
  • Strong experience with cloud platforms (Like AWS) and production environments
  • Deep hands‑on experience with IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and Kubernetes/Docker
  • Confidence designing and operating secure CI/CD pipelines, using Git and modern DevOps practices
  • Practical experience with databases, APIs, programming/scripting languages, and a range of operating systems

Tech we commonly use
  • Terraform - CloudFormation - CDK
  • AWS - Kubernetes - Docker
  • Git - CI/CD - GitOps
  • Elasticsearch - MongoDB - relational DBs
  • Python - Go - Bash

Why join Gemba?

We’re guided by four core values that make Gemba a great place to work:
  • Our people are our most important asset, and we prioritise their needs.
  • We succeed and fail as a team, not as individuals.
  • We do the right thing and we do the thing right.
  • We keep an unwavering focus on the customer’s needs.

Away from our values, Gemba offers an excellent and comprehensive package to our Gembans, including great salaries, meaningful perks, a culture of truly rewarding and celebrating success, amongst many other core benefits like flexible pensions and PMI.


As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we recognise, and studies confirm, that often underrepresented candidates in the workplace are less likely to apply to roles unless they meet all skills and experience of the position.

At Gemba we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, therefore we make sure that our recruitment and selection processes never discriminate based upon age, race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, or pregnancy, and actively welcome applications from all groups.
