Role Description

We are looking for a contract Development Operations Engineer (DevOp) to help us with this, ideally someone who has used Terraform to deliver infrastructure as code, but also someone who can help to build tooling standards. We need someone who is passionate about building repeatable services within AWS, that goes beyond just deployment and extends to a knowledge of configuring the right tools required to drive efficiency, and who drives automation. You will be used to driving predictable, and repeatable results that will delight our customers. As a DevOps Engineer, your role will be integral in managing our AWS-based infrastructure and automating our operational processes. Your responsibilities will span across AWS cloud service management, CI/CD pipeline integration, domain purchasing, SSL certification management, DNS updating, and creating relevant documentation.

Key Deliverables.

An ideal candidate will have 5+ years' experience in DevOps (or platform management) and will have a strong understanding of platform frameworks using EC2, Kubernetes, and serverless technologies as well as the delivery of infrastructure as code. Ideally you will have had significant exposure to the deployment of tooling used to manage, monitor, and maintain cloud environments and will have experience of instrumenting applications and infrastructure.

In addition to this we are looking for someone who has experience of building tooling integrations to optimise workflows and drive the performance of operational and development teams. The position requires strong technology skills, and you must be able to collaborate effectively with a group of high performing architects, engineers & managers that work within the client's broader operating divisions. You should be able to evidence where you have been successful in a similar role and be willing to provide examples at interview.
