Lead Developer I T-shaped Skill Set Towards DevOps

**Are you remote readybecause this business is? They are 100% remote, with the odd/annual social event with the team (but you don’t have to attend, if that isn’t “your thing”)**

**Are you looking for an environment that will give you fresh challenges whilst supporting you in your personal development?**

**Want to leverage technologies like Node, Azure and Terraform - and build a Software Engineering “T-shaped” skill set leaning towards DevOps?**

**Want to work for a 2x “Time best” winner and one of the fastest growing technology companies in the UK?**

**The Business**

Our client, a regular on things like “Times best place to work” and “Sunday Times fast track” is a really impressive employer. They have tried to create a perfect environment to attract, recruit and hire the best developers aroundpeople like you. Recentsuccess has meant that they are growing the team (again) and looking for the top 5-10% of developers available. The new Developer will work on their flagship products and services that have had a huge uptake in their usage, specifically in the U.S.

**The Team**

The UK Software Engineering team is one of those teams that is not just solid technically, but understand Software Engineering, problem solving and how to innovate. They are essentially all operating at Senior/Lead Developer level and utilise an overseasteam to assist with development - however, they are currently insourcing that function (and hiring up to 20 Developers). any Developer joining the UK team will work on building robust, scalable, high availability, software whilst being a thought leader onthe product development aspects.

The Software Engineer will own their own domain and work closely with the product team, also based in the UK and be a big knowledge sharer of research they do. It is a reasonably small team of 5-7 Developers but looking to be around 30, by the end of theyear.

**This specific opportunity**

Although the company is hiring a whole bunch of staff due to bringing a Development team into the UK, this role is actually a replacement for someone moving into more of an SRE type role. As you can probably tell from the move that this person made, theyhad become particularly strong on the DevOps aspect and ended up having a “t-shaped” Full Stack Developer skillset leaning towards technologies like Kubernetes, Terraform and Azure - which is why these specific skills (or a desire to work with them), is requiredin the replacement. You will be the “go-to” Developer (there will be two specific DevOps Engineers hired down the line) for DevOps type issues, whilst also being able to deliver on backend development duties.
