Belfast, United Kingdom Aflac Northern Ireland Full time

We are looking for a Platform Engineer who can help to maximize the potential of the developer tooling eco-system and surrounding technologies. To ensure the wider organization can rely on these tools to be functional, performant and available at all times, while remaining cost effective.

The Team

We are expanding our DevOps Engineering team who are charged with transforming how we design, implement, scale, and maintain DevOps across the Digital Services organization within Aflac. Our DevOps strategy will enable developers across our Agile teams to self-service the tools they need to deliver high quality software with low risk, quickly. Enabling autonomy of Continuous Delivery through full end-to-end automation including the build, elevation and release process in a transparent, secure, and compliant way. The investment in this technology will ensure that we can accelerate delivering exceptional experiences for our 50 million policyholders.

But it’s not just a technology change; it’s a mindset change. Pivoting an organization towards a new way of doing things requires a passion for progress, automation, and a determination to eradicate manual effort. And so, we are adding to our team who love the technology - but more importantly - are relentlessly seeking to positively impact the status quo and identify global optimizations which can help improve the flow of our agile teams.

We’ll be using a range of different tools and technologies, and the goal is to empower our developers to develop, build, test, and deploy their code in a frictionless way. We want them to be masters of their own destiny and avoid relying on countless invisible teams to perform tasks on their behalf. The aim is to reduce the cognitive load on our teams and to provide them with best practices, security, and compliance out of the box in an autonomous and self-service way.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing and engineering scalable/secure/resilient and cost-effective hosting solutions for our on-Prem enterprise developer tools within AWS
  • Configuring and maintaining our self-hosted and SaaS tools primarily through Configuration as code.
  • Monitoring and reacting to the health of the tools.
  • Working with our wider team
  • Defining and enforcing standards through automation and guardrails

What you should have

Below is an overview of the skills and experience we are looking for, but remember, don’t rule yourself out if you don’t have everything on the list – it’s your intellect and your attitude we’re really after.

  • Self-starter and highly motivated
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Bachelor’s degree. Comparable commercial experience may also be considered.
  • Demonstrable technical capabilities in related technologies
  • Experience building within public cloud (Strong AWS Preferred, however training can be provided),
  • Experience building fault tolerant, scalable and solutions.
  • Experience with Infrastructure and configuration as code (IaC and CaC)
  • Experience with at least one common scripting language (bash, PowerShell, python etc..)
  • Monitoring & Observability Using industry leading tools such as Dynatrace
  • Experience working with engineers, leaders and functional areas located in different time zones.
  • Understanding and appreciation of good software engineering practices/processes
  • Experience working with CI and CD pipelines.
  • Experience managing and maintaining SQL database.
  • Understanding of containerization and container orchestration i.e Docker, K8s
  • Good understanding of non-functional requirements.
  • Experience with disaster recovery planning and testing

So that’s us. Thanks for taking the time to read this far (pretty impressive in the era of the 280 character tweet). We look forward to hearing from you if you fancy joining a tech innovation company with the agility of a start-up and the stability of a Fortune 500 U.S. company

Aflac are a Fortune 500 company, and the largest supplier of supplemental health insurance in the US and Japan. Our insurance helps policyholders when they have an accident or illness, and when they come to us they are in one of their greatest times of need.

For this reason, it is critically important we have world-class technology solutions so our customer can focus on getting better. An innovative tech company based in Belfast, Aflac Northern Ireland will help create new digital products and enhance our cyber security capabilities.

While the work we do is of great importance, we don't take ourselves too seriously. We are fast-paced and hardworking, but maintain a welcoming and approachable culture. We like to have a good time and are not afraid to be imaginative and try new things.

We get it you probably never saw yourself working for an insurance firm. Safe to say none of us grew up dreaming of that either. However, once you see the impact our technology has on people's lives, and the opportunity for innovative solutions you'll see why we love it here.

We offer highly competitive pay and benefits, and support a variety of career development opportunities. Our goal is to make Aflac Northern Ireland one of the most adaptable IT and cyber security teams/organisations in the world . We constantly push ourselves to learn new technologies and play an influential role expanding the fintech frontier here in Belfast.

So if you are interested in shaping what we do in Northern Ireland, being an author of a new local company, and setting the tone of the organisation then we'd love to hear from you.

You know the drill: Send in a CV and some basic details and we'll be in touch.
