    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    OpenCredo (OC) is a UK based software development consultancy helping clients achieve more by leveraging modern technology and delivery approaches. We are a community of passionate technologists who thrive on delivering pragmatic solutions for our clients' most complex challenges. Curious, tenacious but always sensitive to our clients' context, we are not afraid to speak our minds to help steer our clients towards understanding and achieving their key goals.

    Our Cloud and Platform Engineering role is diverse, challenging and dynamic. If you are looking to broaden your experience and raise your profile, this role is for you.

Working closely with development teams, you will be implementing best practices around continuous deployment and scalable infrastructure. As part of a team, you will have the opportunity to work with major software, services and client organisations - across multiple industries.

    About you:

    When it comes to delivering on the possibilities of Cloud and DevOps, you know your stuff. And now, you're looking to broaden your experience and raise your profile.

    This is an exciting, hands-on opportunity to excel in emerging platforms, technologies, and major software/services, to deliver serious results for some exceptional clients. You count curiosity, tenacity and pragmatism among your strong points, and are equally enthusiastic about sharing, explaining and exploring ideas. You embrace learning new tools, techniques and approaches.

    If you're passionate about having the freedom to use the right tool for the right purpose, and staying at the forefront of open source emerging technologies, then this is the role for you.

You will look to bring DevOps, Infrastructure-As-Code (IAC), automation and a 12-factor mindset to the table.
    • A Problem Solver with a Can Do Attitude: You can be relied on as the person who gets stuck in and makes things happen. You are adept at facilitating, asking probing and challenging questions and being able to uncover the true root of problems / issues which arise.
