Job description

As an SME, you will not only be responsible for technical execution but will also provide the architectural foresight needed to maintain service stability and drive process optimisation. You will bridge the gap between complex engineering and business impact, ensuring that all cloud-native solutions are robust, secure, and performant., * Create and manage automated scripts (using tools like Terraform or Ansible) so that complex computer systems can be set up quickly, reliably, and identically every time.

  • Watch for signs that the system is slowing down or running out of space, and fix these issues before they cause a crash or failure.
  • Ensure that security checks are a fundamental part of the build process from the very beginning, rather than an afterthought, to keep data and systems safe.
  • Build and look after the automated "conveyor belt" that tests and moves new software from the developer's desk to the live environment quickly and without errors.
  • Act as a mentor to the wider team, guiding DevOps strategy and influencing the adoption of modern standards across the delivery environment.

Requirements

  • Hands on experience with AWS
  • Solid experience with terraform and Ansible
  • IaC
  • CICD - Advanced experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging stacks, including Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK
  • Strong proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes for application packaging and orchestration.
  • Proven track record of operating as a technical lead or SME within UK Public Sector projects

Candidates must hold active SC Clearance
