Crawley (onsite to begin with and then mainly remote with occasional onsite working)
3 months initially
Inside IR35

A bit about the requirement
You enjoy working within an Agile team and being plunged into a challenging environment, requiring reactivity and resourcefulness
You want to handle your application from A to Z - from its development to its incident management, going through automated testing, automated deployment, live monitoring and KPIs tracking
You foster continuous improvement

COMPETENCIES:
Great knowledge of DevOps, digital stack and Cloud Platforms (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS )
Knowledge of Networking, Cybersecurity basics & privacy on 21st century applications
Deep knowledge of containers development and orchestration (Docker, Helm, Kubernetes)
Familiar with automation and industrialisation methods (programming languages, Scripting [Go, Python, Bash] and CI/CDD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery and Deployment) pipelines (Gitlab pipelines, Github actions), and possibly in defining your infrastructure as code using technologies like Terraform or Ansible
Know how to run an application: monitoring, alerting & incident management (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK )

NICE TO HAVE:
Regularly deliver and deploy increments of your applications and present them to the project's stakeholders
Develop and maintain CI/CDD pipelines
Ensure your applications are running in their nominal conditions and set-up the right threshold for your application's alerts accordingly
Monitor how the new features are used by the end-users
React fast in case of a production issue, analyse the root cause and ensure it does not happen again (continuous improvement)
Spend time with your team mates to share and grow all together on the latest technologies

Ideally candidate should hit as many of these skills as possible:
Jenkins administrator (not just a user)
Highly proficient command line skills (both Windows and Linux)
Linux containers (creating container images, using containers, using container registries etc.)
Experience in creating and maintaining Dev[Sec]Ops pipelines
Experience of Linux/Windows/Docker security (TLS certificates, Firewall configuration, TCP socket whitelisting, etc.)
Intelligent, motivated, good written and verbal communication; someone who will work hard and get the job done.

Nice to have (candidate should have some of these):
Experience in deploying Microsoft Visual Studio in a DevSecOps pipeline.
Experience in any of our other tools (Coverity, cppcheck, Inno Setup, doxygen, HashiCorp Vault or equivalent, Artifactory, Black Duck or equivalent, gcc, Puppet Enterprise, etc.)
Appreciation of how 'Secure by Design' impacts the design and implementation of a DevSecOps pipeline. Or, how a DevSecOps pipeline differs (practically) from a DevOps pipeline. Any practical experience associated with any of that would be a bonus.
