You'll be given the tools and support to accelerate your career. The exposure here is huge and you'll often be part of Products and Services that are the first of their kind, working with cloud and automation technologies like; AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and Jenkins.
You'll be part of a team that champion DevOps culture within our organisation, owning the platform, CI/CD pipelines and automating findings to make us more efficient. You'll become an expert in efficient deployment, designing, building and maintaining core infrastructure and debugging platform issues to ensure smooth running at all times.
You'll be someone that looks ahead of the curve, monitoring for the symptoms of emerging problems, and introducing automation wherever possible. You'll be proactive rather than reactive, and thrive in an environment that is supportive but also offers people autonomy and the opportunity to have an impact on Engineering decisions.
