About The Role
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team at The Dock.

Bring clarity and pragmatism to technical decisions—highlight trade-offs, risks and identify more efficient paths where necessary.
Lead the continuous improvement of development processes ensuring both your own code and the code of others is maintainable and extensible.
