The role

Do you understand agile and XP practices? And are you an avid promoter of the DevOps philosophy and cloud-native approaches? Join us as we help our major clients transform the way they do things.

We’re seeking an innovative DevOps engineer with an open mind and an enthusiasm to learn new technologies.

  • Create and manage infrastructure using modular, version-controlled and testable code.

  • have extensive experience setting up and configuring AWS services, including EC2, ECS, Route53 and CloudFront
  • can create and configure CI/CD pipelines using CodeBuild, CodePipeline, Gitlab CI or Jenkins

    • have experience in:
  • configuration management with Ansible, Terraform or CloudFormation
  • scripting in Bash or Python
  • the provisioning of monitoring dashboards using tools such as Datadog, Splunk or Grafana.

    • Bonus nice-to-haves

  • Experience using container technologies such as Docker and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes on major cloud providers.
  • Experience provisioning other cloud providers such as Azure and Google Cloud.
  • Use of Kong or AWS API Gateways.
  • Experience of integrating security and compliance into your infrastructure pipelines.

    It's an exciting time to join us on our journey as we grow and expand our services to help our clients tackle bigger, more complex challenges. We plan to treble the size of our team by 2025 — but we’re determined not to lose our unique culture.

    You don’t have to tick every box to join us. We’re looking for those brave enough to ask the right questions and do the right thing. We value and empower our people, doing right by each other. We work flexibly and keep hierarchy to a minimum.

    Opencast is an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone thrives. We don’t discriminate based on age, disability, ethnicity, family status, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
    If you’d like to be part of a team where your voice is heard and your involvement matters, please join us. We’re a better company because you’re with us.

    Where you’ll work
    At Opencast we trust our people to make the right decisions. You may work remotely from home or, depending on your project, you may be required to occasionally work at a client site or your nearest Opencast office.

    Interview process
    Interviews take place over Microsoft Teams. If that doesn’t work for you, we’ll do everything we can to support and make any necessary adjustments. We want to ensure everyone has the best possible interview experience.

    We accept applicants from overseas but once you’re appointed you need to work in the UK.
