What about the role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a multi-disciplined team providing operational support alongside project based activity for a diverse set of customers utilising mainly AWS & Azure platforms.

What technical skills are we looking for?

The preferred candidate will demonstrate expertise in AWS and ideally Microsoft Azure Cloud Platforms, IaC Tools and security best practices.
