Job description

Job Title

Deployments Support & Automation Engineer

Summary

The Deployments Support & Automation Engineer supports the deployment of releases for our Self-Service products, such as Kiosks and Auto Bag Drops. Releases are built by a dedicated R&D team; this role takes those releases and deploys them safely into customer environments across frontend, middleware and backend components.

Around 70% of the role is deployments and the change management that goes with them, from receiving the request through to implementation. The remaining 30% is automation: alerting, monitoring and deployment scripts that make deployments faster and more reliable.

Key Responsibilities

Deployments (70%)

• Deploy R&D releases, upgrades and fixes for Self-Service products (Kiosks, Auto Bag Drops, etc.) across frontend, middleware and backend components.
• Carry out pre-deployment checks and post-deployment verification to confirm products are working before handover.
• Roll back deployments when needed and work with R&D to resolve deployment issues.
• Coordinate deployment windows with customers, sites and internal teams, including out-of-hours where required.
• Keep deployment runbooks and documentation up to date and hand over knowledge to support teams.

Change Management and Admin

• Receive and work through requests (RITMs) from customers and internal teams.
• Prepare change requests (CRs), including implementation, test and rollback plans.
• Review change requests raised by other engineers for quality and completeness.
• Implement approved changes and close them off with the right records.
• Handle change and admin work on behalf of other engineers so they can stay focused on technical delivery.

Automation (30%)

• Build and tune monitoring and alerting for Self-Service products.
• Write and maintain deployment scripts and pipelines to make deployments consistent and repeatable.
• Automate routine operational tasks and reduce manual effort.

Support and Troubleshooting

• Troubleshoot deployment and production issues and resolve them or elevate to R&D.
• Support high severity incidents and be available on the standby roster.
• Assist with environment setup for new projects, including AWS infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

About The Ideal Candidate

• 2 to 5 years' experience in deployment, DevOps/SRE/Platform or application support.
• Experience deploying and supporting applications in production environments.
• Good understanding of change management (ITIL) and working with RITMs and change requests.
• Scripting skills (PowerShell & Python) for automation and deployments.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and alerting.
• Experience with AWS and Windows and Linux environments.
• Kubernetes experience is a strong advantage.
• ITIL or AWS certifications are a plus.
• Organised, detail-focused and able to work with minimal supervision.
• Clear communicator, comfortable working with R&D, customers and teams across time zones.
