Cloud SRE/DevOps Engineer
Location: London
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) skills to join the Insurance Analytics team at LCP to work on a mission-critical SaaS product used by top insurance firms across the world. InsurSight was launched in April 2020 and is licensed as SaaS to assess over £200bn of non-life insurance business.
DevOps and site reliability are particularly important for InsurSight because the platform uses machine learning to analyse large, complex datasets in the cloud. As a cloud-native application, it relies on many interconnected services working seamlessly together—from data storage and compute to APIs and visualisation. Ensuring the platform is reliable, performant, and scalable across multiple clients is essential—not just for user experience, but also for managing our Azure costs efficiently as our client base grows. As the first dedicated DevOps Engineer for InsurSight, you’ll take ownership of the infrastructure, deployment processes and platform reliability that underpin our product. Although you’ll be the only DevOps Engineer embedded within the Insurance Analytics team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with LCP’s central Platforms team. You'll also work closely with developers, actuaries, data scientists and QA engineers in a highly collaborative environment. Your focus will be on automating infrastructure, improving CI/CD efficiency, setting up and optimising monitoring, and helping the team scale our platform with confidence as we onboard new clients. You'll also lead the effort on load testing, performance tuning, and reliability engineering—ensuring that both our development and production environments are robust, secure and ready to meet demand.
Automating provisioning and management of Azure Batch, Azure Functions, App Service Plans, Cosmos DB, and Storage Accounts.
Setting up and maintaining Single Sign-On (SSO) configurations using Azure AD B2C for new and existing clients.
Optimising and maintaining our CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, ensuring efficient testing and deployment processes.
Ensuring security best practices are followed in cloud configurations and deployments.
Site reliability & performance Engineering:
Setting up monitoring, observability and resolution of site performance using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics and PagerDuty.
Proactively identify and mitigate performance bottlenecks, optimizing Azure Batch, Cosmos DB throughput, API performance, and compute scaling.
Conducting load testing and scalability analysis to ensure our infrastructure can handle user growth.
Conducting root cause analysis post-incident and implementing preventative measures.
Experience in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering roles.
Experience with Azure services (Azure Batch, Azure Functions, App Service Plans, Cosmos DB, Storage Accounts).
Experience writing Infrastructure as Code in Terraform (or equivalent).
Hands-on experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics).
Experience with C# and an understanding of how cloud infrastructure supports .NET applications (.NET 6 / 8).
Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
Experience with performance testing and auto-scaling strategies.
Any experience with Python, SQL and NoSQL database performance tuning or progressive deployment techniques would be highly desirable.
As well as joining a multi-award winning, fun, collaborative, people first organisation where your personal and professional skills will be developed to make you the best you can be, we offer an attractive benefits package designed to promote your overall wellbeing so that you are able to perform to your full potential both in and out of work.
