There is significant scope for learning and development, as well as the chance to contribute to how we do things with new and innovative approaches.

You will

• Work with your team to iterate on platform services from inception and design, through deployment, operation, and refinement.
• Develop and improve tooling for our cloud platform in support of our data, IOT and product development teams
• Support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and launch reviews.
• Implement security best practices throughout our cloud platform and ensure that effective management of risks is undertaken
• Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health.
• Join our On-Call rotation (once you are fully onboarded).

You have

• 1-4 years of experience working in software engineering or Dev-Ops roles or equivalent demonstrated development experience
• Experience programming with Python or a similar scripting language
• Experience with AWS cloud
• An understanding of Unix/Linux operating systems and containerisation
• Knowledge of software development processes including CI/CD
