Job description

As a DevOps Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to be a hands-on engineer tasked with solving challenges to continually improve the 4-key DevOps measures: lead-time, deployment-frequency, mean-time-to-recover and change-failure-rate. This is achieved through the following deliverables -

  • Monitoring & Alerting: implementing continued enhancements to drive improvements for MTTD and MTTR
  • Automating Release Management: automating (CI/CD), integrating and automating non-functional testing to accelerate deployment-frequency and lead-time
  • Monitoring Error Budgets: operational oversight of SLOs and identifying actions to maintain. Independently identify service hotspots and trends, proposing strategies to improve
  • Operational Service: part of production support rota for the tribe, alongside development engineers. Contributing to blameless post-mortems and implementing root cause fixes.
  • Automating Toil: remove the manual tasks required to operate the product
  • DevSecOps Champion: automate and integrate security testing into the deployment pipeline and vulnerability management
  • Provide Segregation & Assurance: the independence of the role allows to take on tasks where segregation is required (e.g. the final deployment to production) and provide the necessary oversight on release quality
