In your role, you will deliver DevOps advisory that will enable the adoption, acceleration, and innovation on the cloud for our clients. This will mean:

  • Assessing, defining and implementing DevOps capabilities that will deliver on innovation, agility, cost benefit and time to market promises.
  • Adopting a holistic approach across multiple dimensions to modernise the developer experience. These dimensions will include Organization & culture, DevOps practices & process, tooling and automation, architecture & design.

The Work

No matter the project or customer, your work will have a meaningful impact on society, businesses and lives. It’s really rewarding. And it’s also really varied.

Team away days are always a chance to connect with the team, have fun and learn something new – sometimes even pizza-making or shuffle boarding.
