Job description

Sparta Global is looking for passionate and committed individuals who want to kickstart a career in technology! You must be willing to complete full-time training in DevOps Engineering and will then be assigned to work in a junior role with one of our trusted client partners as a 'Spartan' consultant.

As a Junior DevOps Engineer you will:

• Collaborate with the development and operations teams to automate the deployment of applications to multiple environments.
• You will be responsible for monitoring the health and performance of systems and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
• You will implement and maintain infrastructure as code to manage and provision resources effectively, while contributing to the development and improvement of DevOps practises and processes.

How it works:

Learn: Complete a period of full-time Academy training when you join Sparta Global. All training is delivered remotely by our team of industry-professional trainers and is paid from day one.

Work: At the successful completion of training, you will become a 'Spartan' consultant and be available for assignment to work with one of our clients as a DevOps Engineer.

Grow: You'll work with our client for up to 24 months, be able to access upskilling, salary increases, and are then available to convert to a full-time employee with your assigned employer.

How to apply:

Our recruitment process is simple and supportive, and we encourage people from all demographics and backgrounds to apply. You do not need to have prior experience of working in tech or studying a STEM subject at a high level.

1. Apply online - Our team of talent coordinators will review your application and invite you to the next stage if you showcase the right aptitude for success.
2. Complete online assessments and a first-stage interview - These assessments are testing your aptitude for learning, not what you know. Show us your potential and then your personality in a face-to-face interview.
3. Final competency-based interview - Demonstrate your collaborative skills, problem-solving abilities, and growth mindset to secure your spot in the Academy.

Person specification:

To qualify, you need to demonstrate some experience or understanding of python or similar technologies. Most importantly, you should have a strong eagerness to learn and grow as a DevOps Engineer.

We're also seeking passionate individuals who align with our values:

• Empathy & Diversity - Integrity, respect, and a commitment to inclusivity.
• Drive - A goal-oriented mindset with a passion for growth.
• Collaboration - A team-focused approach with a desire to build strong relationships.
• Innovation - Curiosity, creativity, and openness to new ideas.
• Flexibility - Adaptability and resilience in a fast-paced industry.

Eligibility:

As a Sparta Global DevOps Engineer, you will be deployed to work with one of our client partners at the completion of your training. For this reason, candidates must be open to relocation/commuting for client site deployments and remote work cannot be guaranteed.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK (British/Irish Citizenship, EU Settled Status, or Permanent Visa Holder) and unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas at this time.
