• Ensuring that there is an effective process of continuous improvement
• Mentoring and knowledge sharing with other members of the Engineering team
• Ongoing monitoring of the organisation's application and infrastructure architecture, checking for performance, stability and compliance
• Maintaining all pre-production and production environments
• Maintaining and contributing to the CI/CD pipelines
• Automating all repeatable processes
• Routine maintenance and ad hoc investigation of environmental issues
• Onboarding new tenants of the platform
• Patching and upgrading all the components of the infrastructure

Your Skills

• Excellent understanding and extensive experience with Azure (preferable) or AWS, including services from the Compute, Containers, Database, Networking, Storage, Management & Governance and Security & Identity areas
• Proven commercial experience and in-depth knowledge of managing Kubernetes clusters at scale
• Understanding of container runtimes, including security and performance aspects
• Implementing infrastructure and surrounding components in Terraform
• Monitoring of infrastructure and applications deployed on it
• Experience with tools like Datadog, AppDynamics, Splunk, Sumo Logic, New Relic, Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic
• Building pipelines in tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, Harness
• Scripting in a language like Bash, Go, Python

About you

• Background in application development or system administration.
• You have a start-up mentality and know how to get the best out of the resources you’ve got.
• You have an incredible appetite to learn.
• A proven DevSecOps professional with excellent analytical skills
• Awesome team player.
• Excellent communicator to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Not afraid to ask questions & not afraid to be wrong.
• If you find something broken or out of date, you can't bear to walk-on-by, and will either fix it up on the way through or make sure the right people know about it.
• You understand the value of up-to-date documentation and do not close a non-trivial task as done without having meticulously documented your solution.
• You hate doing things manually via click-ops and endeavour to write everything-as-code.
