DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer! 👾

As a system developer, you control both the design phase and the actual development and testing of applications / infrastructure services. You understand the entire stack, so that you can bring applications or infrastructure services into production and resolve incidents in cooperation with the Ops Engineers. This means you can contribute to completion of all activities in the backlog. The following items are vital in this:

Contribute to the new way of working

You work together with colleagues from other areas of expertise and take initiative in expanding knowledge (both within and outside of your area of expertise) that is relevant for the Tribe in which you work.

You use your technical expertise and experience to contribute to all sprint events (planning, refinements, retrospectives, demos).

Where possible, you take on tasks/activities that contribute to the mission, even when they are not entirely within your area of expertise.

Engineering

You work on process improvement and automation (pipelines)

You contribute to the reduction of technical debt by documenting and refactoring code base and writing automated tests.

You provide 3rd line support (incident analysis and resolution)

You manage the proprietary middleware ‘TACSY’ (incident, LCM, configuration, deployment, …)

You manage the private networks and firewall rules.

You implement all mandatory security standards to ensure IT risk is and remains under control.

Contribute to team and personal development.

You contribute to the development of your squad by actively giving and receiving feedback.

As an experienced Dev Engineer, you coach less experienced colleagues to help their individual development.

You are responsible for developing your own expertise.

You gather, update and spread knowledge about developments and challenges regarding your field and embed lessons learned and best practices.

We look for

A colleague with a talent for taking it on and making it happen, enthusiasm for helping others to be successful and a knack for always being a step ahead. In other words, you strive to bring fresh ideas to life and embrace challenges in a fast changing and complex environment.
