Overview of job

You will own the technical lifecycle of these services, including the CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/ Terraform), running the services in Kubernetes (EKS on AWS), and monitoring / alerting in a production environment (Prometheus / Grafana). Also, you will lead and mentor a small squad of engineers, deciding how to incrementally deliver value (whether that be XP, Scrum, Kanban).

We are a friendly and close-knit team and work in a highly collaborative, agile environment

Expertise in good coding disciplines including concurrency.

Expertise in Java 11/17, Spring Boot, RDBMS and noSQL persistence technologies. Although this role focuses on Java, we use other languages too so a willingness to learn them would be encouraged.

Proven experience in system architecture and end to end thinking.

Proven experience in coaching / mentoring.
