Job description

DevOps Engineer

London, UK – 3 Days a Week Travel to office

Contract Role (Inside IR35)

SC Eligible or Active SC Candidates

Role Requirements

You will need to have a strong DevOps background, and experience in adoption to public cloud. You must follow a good development lifecycle, be able to communicate with both technical and less technical colleagues and be able to document both design and handover documentation with high quality.

It’s essential that you have the right technical skills, with Cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub and Terraform key for this role. A mindset which prefers to automate will be essential too.

You will need to interact with project managers, so you should be willing to review project plans, represent the team and be willing to challenge in a constructive way should the need arise. Through the project you will work alongside other teams, such as Cyber Security, Testing and the Application Team.

You must be familiar with good change control processes and be an advocate for these within the team.

We do not expect new joiners to have skills across all the technical areas we are looking towards, but we do want you to enjoy learning and will support you to fill technical gaps.

The job will work on flexible hours, but you would be part of a Monday-Friday support rota so at times your working hours may be more rigid. Along with other team members, you will also be part of a 24 / 7 on-call support rota.

If you are a passionate and results-focused Lead Cloud Engineer with expertise in Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub, and networking, we encourage you to apply for this challenging and rewarding position. Join our team and contribute to the success of our cloud strategy.
