## Description

We are excited to offer a superb opportunity for two new DevOps Engineers to join our expanding Enterprise Engineering team sat within Change Delivery. Our growing DevOps team is focused on supporting platforms, tooling, and applications both in delivery and production, as well as working alongside our software development engineering teams to enable change and support YBS's Enterprise services. These exciting new roles will work on supporting applications that underpin YBS's Transaction Monitoring capability and digital authentication journeys amongst others., 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
