  • The programming language is React.

Software Team Management (Future)

  • Internal development resources may be recruited in future and management of these resources will be required.

General Infrastructure Management

  • Manage internal IT systems, including MacOS inventory, Google Workspace for email and document storage, ensuring seamless operation and ITSEC policy compliance.

Security Infrastructure and Services Management

  • Manage the implementation and ongoing operation of selected options. This will include coordination and management of internal and external resources.
  • Coordinate the responses to frequent Risk Assessments conducted by the hotel operators we work with globally. This will include the maintenance of libraries of common responses.
  • Planning for ISO 27001 / SOC 2 compliance.

General IT Management

  • Assist in planning the future of the company’s IT. Decisions such as whether to recruit additional in-house staff or continue with outsourcing to 3rd party organisations, as well as the implementation of such decisions.
  • Working with business development and sales staff to scope and prioritise future projects to ensure they’ll offer maximum value to the company as it grows internationally.
  • Act as the interface between external customers / suppliers and the company for development projects requiring co-ordination with external organisations.

About the Role:

We are looking for a highly skilled Technical Operations Manager to oversee ongoing IT development projects and IT operations / IT security. The role will include a mix of architectural oversight and management of outsource teams across a range of technologies. While much of the company has been developed in a Java / Linux environment running on AWS servers there is a growing amount of C# code running on windows servers being developed by outsource teams.
