Junior DevOps Engineer (Graduate, Reuters Imagen)

Join the Reuters Imagen DevOps team as a Junior DevOps Engineer. In this role, you will deploy, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain Imagen platform installations across multiple cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• You will onboard new content partners, integrate customer systems with Reuters Connect, and maintain infrastructure as code in Terraform.
• You will also build automation, investigate platform incidents, plan media migrations, document your work, and communicate with stakeholders.
• Deploy, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain Imagen platform installations across multiple cloud environments.
• Onboard new Reuters content partners onto our platforms: configuring ingest pipelines, writing and testing XSLT mappings.

Requirements

• This is a junior role, and we are looking for candidates with a working knowledge of public cloud, SQL, scripting, version control, and structured data formats.
• Maintain and extend infrastructure as code in Terraform, and the CI/CD pipelines that deploy our serverless ingest functions.
• Working knowledge of at least one major public cloud (AWS or Azure) and a genuine interest in learning the other. We use both regularly, and dabble in others
• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases (we use MySQL/MariaDB), enough to read and write queries against a live system
• Clear written and verbal communication, including with non-technical stakeholders, and the confidence to ask questions early
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the discipline to isolate a problem rather than guess at it
• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage several pieces of work and keep people updated on progress
• Scripting ability in PowerShell and/or Python, and the willingness to become comfortable in both
• Version control with Git, and an understanding of branching and pull request review
• Comfortable working with structured data formats — XML, JSON — and calling REST APIs
• This is a junior role. We expect you to have some hands-on exposure to the areas below, not deep expertise in all of them — through a placement, an apprenticeship, a first technical role, a degree, or serious self-taught projects. Curiosity and a methodical approach to problems matter more to us than a complete checklist
• CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions
• Infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform
• XSLT and XPath, or experience transforming data between schemas

Windows Server administration, IIS, and Linux fundamentals

• Networking fundamentals: DNS, TLS and certificates, firewalls, VPNs, load balancing
• Core AWS services: EC2, S3, Lambda, SQS, IAM, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch
• Containers and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS/AKS)
• Monitoring, alerting and log analysis
• Web server configuration (Apache)

Preferred

• An interest in video and media technology — codecs, containers, transcoding and delivery formats. No prior media industry experience is required; we will teach you this side of the domain
