The DocOps Engineer will bridge the gap between content and technology within our UX Content team. In this role, you will be a centralised technical expert, responsible for managing our content repositories, optimising documentation workflows, and ensuring the scalability and efficiency of our Help system. You will focus on providing technical support, driving innovation, and automating our processes to enhance quality and consistency.

• Acting as a technical liaison with IT, DevOps, and Engineering teams.
• Helping us to evolve our documentation practices by exploring new tools, methodologies, and "Docs as Code" principles, and by championing the integration of AI‑driven solutions to innovate our documentation pipelines.

• Automation and Scripting: Proficiency in PowerShell is a key requirement. You must have proven experience developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting scripts to automate complex tasks.
• Version Control Systems: Advanced knowledge of Git, including branching strategies, merging, and resolving complex merge conflicts. Familiarity with Bitbucket is essential.
• Web Technologies: A strong understanding of XML, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
• CI/CD Pipelines: A solid understanding of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) concepts and experience with their application in workflows. Experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins.
• Problem‑Solving and Analytical Skills: The ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to tools, workflows, and content.
• Process and Workflow: A drive to improve quality and efficiency through technical solutions, familiarity with Jira for workflow management, and an understanding of software development processes.

• Experience in a "Docs as Code" development environment.
• Knowledge of content management systems or specialised documentation tools like MadCap Flare.
• A background in creating or supporting technical documentation within a software development environment.
• Knowledge of search solutions like Coveo, including an understanding of indexing strategies and query pipelines.
• Experience contributing to AI adoption strategies, including identifying opportunities to streamline workflows and establish best practices for AI‑assisted processes (AI pipeline skills).
