You need to be the kind of person who finds the idea of
responsibility and radical means of working exciting rather than
terrifying. You are interested in picking up and mastering new
technologies and are keen to learn as much as possible. You need to be
prepared to ask challenging questions of yourself and others (why are we
doing it this way? Why are we doing it at all? If I can prove this is
easier, will you folks try it this way?). You should have a highly
developed sense of collaboration – doesn’t mean you need to be a
touchy-feely extrovert, but that you know sharing information, ideas and
support is essential to commercial success.
This role is Operational in nature, but with a DevOps bias, and has
plenty of interest and scope. You'll be creating and designing new
infrastructure to meet our growing demands, and improving our existing
operational infrastructure. This will involve provisioning IT systems in
both Cloud and Hosted (hybrid) environments, using automated
provisioning and configuration management tools.
You will be responsible for all aspects of the operational systems
including availability, reliability, performance, monitoring and
security. Additional responsibilities include overall health monitoring
and regular systems maintenance tasks, making use of automation wherever
possible. We have high standards for our computer systems as well as
our employees: our systems are secure, reliable, and available, and must
function at scale; our employees are super smart, driven to serve
customers, and fun to work with.
