Our DevOps Specialisms

DevOps Engineers bridge the gap between software development and IT operations. They focus on automating workflows, managing CI/CD pipelines, and streamlining deployment processes. Their work ensures faster, more reliable software delivery, often in cloud-native or containerized environments. Key tools include Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring platforms like Prometheus and Grafana. 

SREs apply software engineering principles to infrastructure and operations problems. Their goal is to create scalable and highly reliable software systems. They focus on service-level objectives (SLOs), incident response, postmortems, and automation to reduce toil. Common tools include Terraform, Python, Go, and observability stacks like ELK or Datadog. 

Platform Engineers design and maintain the internal developer platforms that support continuous delivery and scalable cloud infrastructure. They build reusable components, standardize environments, and ensure developers have the tools they need to deploy efficiently. Technologies often include Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and Backstage. 

Cloud Engineers architect, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure across providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. They ensure scalability, security, and cost-efficiency of cloud environments. Their responsibilities often include cloud networking, IAM, storage solutions, and disaster recovery planning. 

These specialists focus on automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or Chef. They help reduce manual effort, enforce consistency, and improve deployment speed across environments. Their work is critical in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices. 

Integrates security practices into the DevOps lifecycle. They automate security checks, manage secrets, and ensure compliance through tools like HashiCorp Vault, Snyk, and Aqua Security.

Client Testimonials

At Lorien, we pride ourselves on being trusted consultants to both clients and talent alike. Because together we can create a brighter future.

The team at Lorien helped me land a fantastic new role - and set the (very high) benchmark for other recruiters whilst doing so! Maintaining contact throughout, ensuring I had all the knowledge I needed, both professional yet personable and made me feel at ease. And once I started, they got in touch and checked on how I was doing. In these current times where recruiters are inundated, this level of care and service is really reassuring. Thanks again!

Consultant Change Manager

As a Santander contractor I like the prompt support from Lorien which helps me continuing with Santander. I love my job as it gives me much work life balance along with the freedom of work. I am blessed to be in a very good team with supportive colleagues and wish to continue my contract here for many more years!

I have been at Santander for the last 9 months and so far it has been a great experience. What I like most about working here is flexibility and the freedom given to do work. It really gets out the best of an individual when these two things are given. Looking forward to extending my contract here if opportunity allows me.

Working with Lorien has been one of the best experiences when dealing with anyone in the recruitment space. Helpful, provided clear and concise information all with a smile and good humour. Detail on the customers and processes has been spot on and responds to comms with nothing too much approach.
