One of the most annoying elements of job seeking is wading through the constant drivel online, consisting of badly written job ads, uninspiring LinkedIn activity and recruiters who think Apache relates to a military-grade attack helicopter.

So I wanted to 'go against the grain' and write something short, snappy and hopefully interesting enough to make you want to apply. Let's see how that goes...

An innovative and progressive IT Consulting Firm in Leeds (5 minutes from the station) is looking to recruit a Principal DevOps Engineer to come in and act as the lead on a number of Cloud-focused transformation programs. The role will be hugely autonomous, with the opportunity to help shape their Cloud/DevOps strategy whilst also getting involved in delivery management and leadership.

The organisation in question are hugely successful, with a diverse set of customers (Financial Services, Banking, Utilities, Public Sector etc.) and a commitment to delivering E2E Cloud projects on an enterprise scale. Simply put... these guys know what a good technology division looks like and their long-term goal is to create a centre of excellence for Cloud & DevOps.

Sound like something you'd like to be involved in?

If the answer is a resounding 'yes' then read on...

Your responsibilities in this role would be varied, encompassing the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) with specific focus on the delivery of solutions and platforms using the latest Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP) in a fully Agile environment, including Scrum, TDD and CI/CD.

As a Principal DevOps Engineer, you would be tasked with providing a high-level of technical leadership, getting involved in the line management of Engineers as well as E2E Cloud Architecture. Moreover, your role would invole hands on engineering using a range of core DevOps tools/technologies including containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher), CI (Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity), cloud (AWS, Azure) and source control management (Git, SVN, Nexus).

In return, you would be joining an organisation that genuinely invests in its employees. They offer fully expensed certifications (think Cloud/DevOps), personal/tailored training budgets and the opportunity to attend some of the largest tech conferences globally (e.g. Dreamforce, Microsoft Ignite, AWS Re-Invent) fully free of charge! Moreover, the company offer flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely, so don't be put off by the word 'Consultancy!'.

So if you like the sound of this role and have (hopefully) enjoyed reading my ad then give me a shout! I can be contacted via the following:

• Mobile:
• Office Line:
• Email:
• LinkedIn: 'Liam Haghighat'

Anything discussed will remain 100% confidential and fully compliant with GDPR

Head of Engineering - Software
Essex

Help drive and deliver the technology strategy of a leading creative business in the heart of Essex.

No 'save yourself the commute to London' clichés needed for this role, it's just an out and out corker in its own right, the fact it's based in Essex is merely a bonus for anyone based locally.

You'll be responsible for the day to day running of a sophisticated engineering function, home to the development, design, QA, DevOps and project delivery teams. Provide technical leadership, implement and drive innovative strategies and methods, and help to develop and maintain the overall technology roadmap.

This role reports in to the board, you'll have an overall duty as part of the senior leadership to help define and deliver the future vision of the company, by filtering that down through the Engineering team, showing innovation qualities, and facilitating overall success and

We're looking for someone who is a confident people manager, who can provide support and lead by example. You'll ideally have a strong software engineering background, with significant hands on development skills. This role will sit above the hands-on coding duties, but you'll need to be in-touch with the latest emerging tools and technologies. The engineering function build and deliver sophisticated cloud SaaS based solutions, so an experience of this would be essential for any prospective applicants.

Here's a look at the current tech stack to give you a flavour of the environment:
o Front-End: AngularJS, Angular, JavaScript, TypeScript, Karma, Jasmine, React.js, Node.js
o QA: Selenium, Protractor, Cucumber, Browser Stack,
o Backend: C#, .Net, .Net Core, xUnit, WebAPI, MVC, SQL, ORM,
o UE4: C++, Python, BluePrints,
o Cloud: AWS: EC2, ECS, S3, SNS, SQS, CloudWatch, Route53, CloudFormation, lambda
Azure: WebApps, CosmosDB, Blob Storage, ServiceBus, Functions, webjobs
o DevOps: Docker, Git, SonarQube, Jenkins, Azure DevOps

I've been fortunate to work with this company for several years and it's very clear to see just how important this hire is to them. If you are interested in a role where you're able to lead an already established and successful engineering function, but also have the opportunity to implement and push change of your own, then I'd be really excited to hear from you.
