Role: DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer – AWS
Location: Nottingham / Hybrid (Remote but in the office once / twice a month)
Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 + 10-15% Bonus (overall minimum package is over £80,000!)
There’s certainly no shortage of positions within Cloud, DevOps, SysAdmin, Platform or Site Reliability (SRE) vacancies right now, you’ve probably scrolled past a dozen or so already!
With technology seeing a massive surge of interest over the last few years, everyone is crying out for the heroes who can implement solutions that we mere mortals could never hope to understand.
But why would you join this company in particular?
Well, apart from excellent benefits, a competitive salary (up to £55,000 per year), and a level of support, progression, and development that is basically unmatched by all others in their market, they can offer you the one thing that really counts: the chance to create something truly unique!
With a brand that extends across the globe, it would be fair to say that this is the company that provides the FinTech solutions that power everything else when it comes to FinTech. They create solutions that power the way the entire western world views finance.
You’d be joining a team of around a dozen platform engineers in one of a few teams, helping to mentor the more junior guys and working closely with your senior colleagues to guide the deployment of complex cloud systems.
You’ll be a proficient DevOps Engineer but a few things I’ll be looking for are; a software focus with shell scripting exp e.g. Bash or an OO language such as Python / C# etc, Configuration automation tools (Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt, Cloud formation, Terraform etc), building automation and CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as Rundeck, Jenkins, Octopus Deploy, Kubernetes, TeamCity etc. Although you’d be mainly working with AWS, they’re a multi-cloud organisation so you’d get exposure to Azure, GCP and (soon) Alibaba along the way.
They’re a big organisation, so this may not be the best place for people who want to shy away or hide in the corner. You don’t have to be the life of the party, but if you’re comfortable in your own skin and don’t mind sharing duties and explaining things to stakeholders from time to time, you’ll be just fine.
The nuts and bolts are available in more detail, but these are the key highlights! If you think you’re made of the right stuff and find out more, get in touch!
