Job Requirements / Description
As a DevOps Engineer, you thrive on providing technical leadership; working collaboratively with development and customer teams to maintain the operational integrity of mission critical services in a National Security environment.
You're a DevOps Engineer that provides leadership both technically and culturally, and is comfortable with high level responsibility. You won't be leading a team that delivers simple add ons to multiple vendors; you'll be leading engagements with customers to provide a strategic link and ensure successful delivery of software rollouts that enable the nations safety.
Roke are a leading technology & engineering company with clients spanning National Security, Defence and Industry 4.0 through our Futures business and Intelligence as a Service. You will work alongside our customers to solve their complex and unique challenges.
As our next DevOps Engineer, you'll operate with customer availability as a priority; catching issues early and ensuring continued operational integrity of services that are strategically important to the nation. Whilst developing and deploying code, you'll ensure best practice of the DevOps team you lead.
The Key Requirements
Joining a team united by purpose and ambition, you'll be at the heart of an exciting growth journey: having doubled in size over the last 4 years, we intend to double our headcount again by 2027. At Roke, every individual counts. We push technical boundaries, together. We re-invest in product innovation, and we empower our people to make a difference.
With us your experience of leading teams and driving improvements will provide the cultural platform for continued success that keeps the country safe; the mission impact of your work will be hard to replicate elsewhere.
Where you'll work
You'll find our Manchester site located in the heart of Media City; Europe's fastest growing tech hub. You'll become a key part of Roke's growing local tech community as we support the Government levelling up agenda. There is easy, local access to our client community with great transport links and nearby local parking.
Why you should join us
Operating as one Roke, there is a shared belief that everyone has a responsibility to create an environment that encourages you to bring your whole self to work; in a place where everyone has the time, trust and freedom to succeed.
We are committed to a policy of Equal Opportunity, Diversity and Inclusion, enabled by our employee led resource groups of Women In Roke, Neurodiversity, Inspire (LGBT+) ME (Majority Ethnic), Veterans and Disability; which each contribute to making Roke a great place for people from all backgrounds to work.
Mental health and wellbeing is also important to Roke, there is a group of supportive Mental Health First Aiders to lend a listening ear for anyone who needs it; alongside a team of Mental Health First Aid Champions who help build a mentally healthy workplace, challenge stigma and support positive wellbeing.
The Benefits and Perks
Due to the nature of this role, we require you to be eligible to achieve DV clearance. As a result, you should be a British Citizen and have resided in the U.K. for the last 10 years.
