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 the platform 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 implement infrastructure as code to manage resources effectively. You will also contribute to improving DevOps practices and processes.

We don’t expect you to be an expert immediately—that’s where our award-winning Academy comes in. We focus on building your skills and confidence in a fun, supportive environment to develop you into a confident, capable consultant.

What We’re Looking For

To succeed in this role, you should demonstrate ability in Python or similar. A passion for technology and eagerness to learn advanced programming are essential.

Our Values

• Empathy and Diversity: Integrity, respect, and a commitment to inclusivity.
• Drive: A goal-oriented mindset with pride in exceeding targets.
• Collaboration: A team-focused approach, fostering positive relationships.
• Innovation: Curiosity, creativity, and openness to diverse ideas.
• Adaptability: Flexibility and composure in the face of change.

Why You Should Apply

Our environment nurtures your talents and skills. Your hard work and progress are tangibly rewarded through performance reviews every six months, offering opportunities to increase your earnings twice a year. We also provide:

• 20 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Extra day off for your birthday
• Pension, eye care, death in service cover, cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan
• Employee assistance program
• Yearly budget for personal development
• Access to alumni and community networks
• Opportunities to be brand ambassadors

Joining Sparta Global is an investment in your future, offering diverse experiences and opportunities to develop and earn more. No two career paths are the same here.
