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 and just as the title says it brings together development and operations so that organisations can create stable, repeatable platforms for product deployment.

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

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be collaborating 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.

We're not expecting you to be an expert right away - that's where our award-winning Academy comes in. We're experts in building skills and confidence in a fun and supportive environment that will not only challenge but develop you into a confident and capable consultant.

What We're Looking For
