Nice to have

• Experience working in a continuous integration/delivery setting (DevOps) - we go to production every day.
• Experience writing automated testing (unit, functional, performance).

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper.
