About This Role

By utilising DevOps, businesses deliver systems faster, cheaper, and without sacrificing high quality. It is an environment, a philosophical mindset, and a real-world framework that brings together development and operations to create stable, repeatable platforms for product deployment.

To become a DevOps specialist, you need both technical and soft skills to seamlessly integrate with multiple teams. Engineers use tools to deploy infrastructure as code, create automation, test platforms during deployment, and hook in monitoring systems for rapid, up-to-date reporting.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will collaborate with development and operations teams to automate application deployment across multiple environments. You will monitor system health and performance, troubleshoot issues, and maintain infrastructure as code to manage resources effectively. You will also contribute to refining DevOps practices and processes.

We’re not expecting you to be an expert right away — that’s where our award-winning Academy comes in. We focus on building skills and confidence in a fun, supportive environment that develops you into a confident, capable consultant.

What We're Looking For

Demonstrable ability in Python or similar programming languages. A passion for technology and eagerness to learn advanced programming skills.

Our Values

• Empathy and Diversity: Integrity, respect, and a commitment to inclusivity.
• Drive: Goal-oriented mindset with pride in exceeding targets.
• Collaboration: Team-focused approach, fostering positive relationships.
• Innovation: Curiosity, creativity, and openness to diverse ideas.
• Flexibility: Adaptability and composure in changing environments.

Candidates must be willing to relocate post-training for deployment to client sites across the UK. Remote working cannot be guaranteed. Eligibility to work in the UK is required (British or Irish Citizenship, EU Settled Status, or Permanent Visa). We do not sponsor visas or accept Graduate/PSW Visas.

Why You Should Apply

Our environment nurtures your talents and skills. Hard work and progress are tangibly rewarded through performance reviews every six months, with opportunities to increase earnings twice a year. Your efforts and achievements are recognized and rewarded.

Additional Benefits

• 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Birthday leave
• Pension, eye care, death in service cover, cycle-to-work scheme, season ticket loan
• Employee assistance program
• Annual personal development budget
• Access to alumni and community networks
• Opportunities to be brand ambassadors
