Salary Glue has been holding things together since 200,000 BC when the Neanderthals created it from birch tree bark.
Glue is the ultimate team player, connecting everything with minimal fuss.
The hiring manager described his DevOps team of four as “the glue that helps their many product teams in a wider 80-person tech team build outstanding products” in sectors like pensions, energy, insurance and football for over a quarter of the top 250 companies in the UK.
He believes in his team, a no-blame or micromanagement culture and giving intelligent people the autonomy to do great work.
They are transitioning from traditional dev and ops to a DevOps / Platform engineering model, taking the lessons from five years using Azure and chipping away to help the business move to an Azure PaaS target architecture.
You’d be a DevOps engineer, developing and supporting reusable platform components that the product developers can self-serve using automated, best-practice Azure tools and techniques.
No two days will be the same; for example, in a recent 24-hour period, the team worked on two product releases, supported a downed service, and modelled the target architecture. So, if you like a variety of projects in different sectors, this could be great for you.
You’ll enjoy a 35-hour working week and a benefits package reflecting the level of fairness and care this company is known for.
On Mondays and Fridays, you’ll work in stunning offices with glorious views of central Winchester. The train station is outside; free food, real coffee machines, and table tennis tables are inside if that interests you.
Lastly, inclusivity is more than just a PR soundbite. For example, they achieved 13 DEI awards in the last five years and their LGBT+, women's, multicultural and well-being networks tackle significant issues and unite their people.
Role – DevOps Engineer
Salary – Up to £60,000 + Discretionary, performance-related bonus.
Headline Benefits – Up to 10% pension, Bupa Private Healthcare, 26 days plus bank holidays, enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental leave and other flexible benefits and schemes.
Work Location – Hybrid – Monday and Friday in the Winchester office.
On-Call Work – This role would form part of a generously paid on-call rota. It’s one week in every four, but this could change to longer periods in between. Speak to me for more details.
Visa Sponsorship – Not available
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
You’ll be a junior or mid-level DevOps engineer with at least one to two years of experience working in an agile Microsoft Azure environment.
You’ll have a natural curiosity and passion for learning.
You’ve written automation using scripting languages like Python, Bash or PowerShell and Infrastructure as Code (They use Terraform, but Bicep, Ansible or ARM Templates are fine)
