ENVIRONMENT:
A renowned investment firm requires your 2yrs+ Developer experience to take ownership of the DevOps Engineer role. Your keen interest in transferring into a more DevOps role, and ability to work largely autonomously to explore new technologies, find ways to improve processes, develop new in-house tools and rapidly implement appropriate solutions will put you in good stead.
As DevOps Engineer, you will work alongside the Development teams, developing and implementing CI/CD Automation techniques and tools to improve the performance, stability and reliability of the pipelines. There is also a strong emphasis on supporting feature teams to grow their own DevOps skills and take on more of their own production operational support.

DUTIES:
- Build out CI/CD processes to improve test isolation and performance.
- Research, develop and implement approaches to allow automated and isolated testing against legacy and 3rd party systems.
- Maintain and support the CI/CD infrastructure, including Kubernetes, Gitlab and in-house tooling.
- Actively work to improve our tools and processes to increase overall developer efficiency.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum of 2+ years software development experience
- Basic understanding of server infrastructure, including virtualisation, networking, etc.
- Hands on experience with the following engineering practices:
- Continuous Integration
- Continuous Delivery
- Linux
- Container/orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible)
- Knowledge of computer science fundamentals in object-oriented design, data structures and algorithms and proficiency in at least one modern programming language.
- Experience in working within a microservices environment across multiple teams using agile methodologies
- Tertiary Qualification in computer science, computer engineering, information systems or related technical discipline
