## About the Role

* DevOps or platform engineering experience in defence, aerospace, government or another secure sector
 * Strong on-premises infrastructure experience (this role is mainly on-prem, so a purely cloud background won't suit)

 * Terraform, Ansible, Docker and Kubernetes
 * Scripting in Bash, Python or PowerShell
 * Comfort working to governance and change control
 * Clear, concise communication

## Description

This is a hands-on role in a mainly on-premises environment. The focus is automation: building out Dev, Test and Live environments, and the CI/CD pipelines that move software safely between them within a secure, controlled estate.

 * Design and build Dev, Test and Live environments
 * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in on-prem GitLab
 * Automate provisioning and configuration with Terraform and Ansible
 * Run containerised workloads on Docker and Kubernetes
 * Build DevSecOps practices in from the start: secure configuration, scanning, vulnerability, access and secrets management
 * Set up monitoring, logging and alerting
 * Troubleshoot deployments and support rollback, recovery and disaster recovery
 * Produce the documentation and assurance evidence that secure delivery needs
