Fully Expensed Cloud/DevOps Certifications | Training | Technology | Culture

Like the sound of the above? If the answer is a resounding 'yes' then why not give this ad a quick read.

I am managing a DevOps Lead position on behalf of one of the world's leading Banks to be based out of their technology hub in Manchester (10 minutes from Piccadilly and Victoria). The organisation are in the midst of a multi-year Cloud and Digital transformation project, with the core focus being improving the way their customers experience their products.

This role is therefore huge, with a key strategic element due to their ever-growing DevOps/CI/CD culture.

The role will see you work across numerous pillars within the business, liaising with stakeholders (both technical and non-technical) whilst acting as an SME for all things DevOps and Automation. This role requires somebody with a genuine passion for technological innovation and is an excellent opportunity for somebody to help shape a technology roadmap for one of the most recognisable organisations in the world.

But enough about the company and enough about the role. This, like any good advert, should be about you and what you need to bring to the table in order to progress this application.

So rather than simply copying and pasting the JD, I have highlighted the key criteria you need to hit:

• Cloud Technologies:First and foremost, you need proven experience working with one of the major Cloud providers, with preference given to candidates with strong experience in AWS.
• Containerisation Tools:Experience with Docker, Kubernetes or Rancher would be preferred.
• Configuration Management & CI/CD: Commercial experience working with Jenkins, Chef, Puppet, Ansible and TeamCity is also desirable.
• Linux Experience: Proven experience working with Linux & Red Hat.
• Mentoring & Coaching: Finally, due to the fact this is a Lead Engineer position, proven experience mentoring and coaching others is desired.

In return, you will benefit from a competitive base salary (between £60,000 - £80,000 DOE) alongside a non-contributory pension (10%), annual discretionary bonus, private healthcare and flexible working hours.

So if this advert has been short enough to make you think 'I want this job' then why not apply? To do so, please use the following...

2020 looks to be another big year for DevOps. By 2023, experts expect the DevOps market to triple in size compared to 2018. This brings a lot of positives: Cutting edge technology, New certifications and Variety. However how many opportunities can offer all 3 to a competitive standard? This role working with an award winning digital consultancy can.

The roles are part of an ongoing recruitment drive with a focus on building a strong DevOps team, but importantly a DevOps culture throughout the business. You will be tasked with working on client site with various members of the business to deliver digital solutions on an enterprise level. In terms of clients, you will work closely with public sector clients such as Ministry Of Defence, HMRC, Ministry of Justice and The Home Office.

Cutting Edge Technology:
My client prides themselves on being able to use cutting edge technology to deliver ground breaking solutions. To do so they look to use the right tool for the job. This could be working with hybrid cloud platforms in AWS and Azure whilst using Kubernetes and Terraform. As a consultant you will be given the appropriate training and upskilling to work effectively on client site.

New Certifications:
Within your first 6 months you will look to achieve 3 certifications:
Kubernetes Administrator
AWS/Azure Certified DevOps Engineer
AWS/Azure Certified Developer

Variety:
No one wants to be stuck on the same support work for months on end. That's why as a consultant, no two days will be the same. However there are a few responsibilities that will remain consistent. Working on: CI/CD pipelines, Cloud Architecture, Containers, Automation and Configuration Management.

But enough about the company and the role. This, like any good advert, should be about you and what you need to bring to the table in order to progress this application. The two fundamental concepts of DevOps are continuous Integration and continuous delivery. Therefore my client has highlighted the following skills to facilitate CI/CD.

Containerisation - Experience with Docker is essential. Experience with Docker Swarm/Kubernetes is a plus but not essential.

Cloud - AWS/Azure

Configuration Management Tools - Experience using at least one of the following: Puppet, Chef, Terraform, Ansible

Leadership/Stakeholder management - Managing large scale teams whilst working closely with C-Level stakeholders.

In return, you will benefit from a highly networked and very flat structured organisation. This means that people with an Entrepreneurial self-managed approach can really contribute to the strategic direction of the practice and be heard. In terms of package, my client can offer a competitive salary (between £60,000 - £95,000) alongside a non-contributory pension (6%), private health care and 1 Day remote work.

The Palatinate Group is a UK-based leisure and holiday specialist based in Farringdon, London and Brighton.

The Tech team works on software for all aspects of selling holidays including websites, online booking functionality, third-party API integrations and systems for our call centre and product contracting teams.

Our technology team consists of 20 developers with a mix of on-site and remote workers. We use many different technologies and languages, generally favouring Ruby on Rails on the backend but we have systems integrations in Python and Go, and we are always exploring new frontend technologies making heavy use of Elm for interactive client side applications. All of our infrastructure is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, and we use BigQuery extensively to analyze data from the majority of our systems.

Our team has an agile mentality, and the users of our software are heavily involved in all aspects of the work on our systems. Our work involves a mix of greenfield and legacy work, but don’t let this scare you off ? we believe in investing in the long-term health of our projects.

About the Role

As a member of the SpaBreaks website team you will pair program on features and improvements across a range of customer-facing websites and API services.

The team consists of developers, designers and product experts, all working to support the needs of the business and customers while actively modernising the website's design and technical foundations.

Your time will be spent on server-side development in Ruby, occasionally dipping into infrastructure and client-side programming. Typical tasks for the team span multiple systems at a time, hosted on different platforms, in our own as well as third-party code.

What you will do

• Write code with an eye for continuous improvement through refactoring
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to other team members and review the work of peers
• Act as point of contact for technical issues for specific work streams within a project
• Act as point of contact for technical issues for production incidents
• Implement product features working as part of a cross-functional team using agile methodologies
• Champion and drive ongoing technical improvements in application architecture to build and design scalable systems
• You build it, you run it - you will not only be part of building applications but also in operations, checking and observing that the application runs well in our production environments
• Contribute to Sprint planning and feature slicing, balancing product requirements, technical needs and project risk

About you

We are looking for a talented senior software developer who will be part of a team that will shape the delivery of features on SpaBreaks by focusing on exploring, identifying, evaluating,building and promoting the right technology, tools and processes.

What we value:

• Open to constructive feedback
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Self motivation and willingness to learn and share
• Passion for improving quality and processes
• An excellent pair programmer and a TDD practitioner
• Able to collaborate with our stakeholders to make sure we’re always working on the right things

Core technical competencies:

• Solid understanding of object-oriented and functional style programming paradigms
• Solid understanding and application of test driven development
• Demonstrable experience with CI/CD
• Demonstrable experience working with Git
• Demonstrable understanding of software engineering principles such as SOLID, domain driven design, etc.

Other desirable experience:

• Familiarity with Javascript, Webpack, Docker, Tmux
• Familiarity with distributed concepts
• Experience working on e-commerce platform
• Exposure or familiarity with Kubernetes, Google Cloud, Contentful

Our benefits include:

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• £1k per year training/conference budget
• Friday afternoons for training and non-project work
• Choose your own development tools (e.g. IDE, OS, etc.)
• Great travel and partner discounts across the group
