Containers & Platform Engineering

• Build, manage, and optimise containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, supporting both development environments and production deployments.
• Support the adoption and evolution of container orchestration practices across squads, helping teams move confidently to modern, cloud-native deployment patterns.
• Contribute to platform tooling and shared services that reduce friction for development teams and promote self-service infrastructure provisioning.

Monitoring, Observability & Support

• Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions across production and pre-production environments, ensuring issues are detected and surfaced quickly.
• Provide proactive support for production environments, responding to incidents, performing root cause analysis, and implementing preventative measures to avoid recurrence.
• Provide off-hours support for mission-critical issues as required, contributing to on-call rotations and maintaining agreed service levels.
• Produce and maintain runbooks, operational guides, and documentation to support consistent incident response and knowledge sharing across the team.

Continuous Improvement & Collaboration

• Recommend and champion solutions aligned with business requirements, balancing technical excellence with pragmatic delivery.
• Bring a strong continuous-improvement mindset to all aspects of the role - proactively identifying inefficiencies in pipelines, infrastructure, and processes and driving them to resolution.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies alongside the development squads, contributing to sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog refinement using JIRA and Azure DevOps.
• Stay current with emerging cloud technologies, DevOps tooling, and AWS service releases, advocating for adoption where they deliver tangible value.
