Job Description

###

What's involved?

This is a varied technical role requiring extensive experience in both Platform and Software engineering with a particular focus on the building, delivering and monitoring of TypeScript/Node.js applications running on Kubernetes and AWS Cloud. Day to day, you could be applying yourself to anything from Platform architectural design or AWS Cloud management using Pulumi, to debugging CICD performance of Docker wrapped Node.js apps or integrating a JavaScript authentication library into our product sites.


You should be comfortable leading on projects, debugging complicated systems and have an appreciation for the need to occasionally set project work to one side to debug and fix high priority issues in real time.


You'll need a passion for your work, along with a desire to help others progress their technical skills through close collaboration, coaching and mentoring.
