Key Skills

  • Predominantly (but not exclusively) working on AWS
  • Extensive use of Kubernetes and Docker, including Openshift
  • Extensive experience of Gitlab/Github for source control
  • Good understanding of CI/CD's role in delivering software is more important than specific tooling - given we're having to adapt traditional develop low/deploy high approaches to fit our classified integration and deployment needs
  • Extensive experience of Linux, including scripting, etc.

Nice to have

  • Experience of deploying to Azure
  • Knowledge of classified working practices/risk appetite/policies in classified environment
  • We're working across security domains, so any knowledge of cross domain solutions or air gapped is a plus

AWS as initial hosting provider

  • Containerised apps using Docker and Kubernetes
  • Apache Jena
  • Elastic
  • PostGIS
  • Kafka
  • Apache NiFi
  • AWS Cognito
  • HTTP REST, GraphQL, SPARQL interfaces
  • Web apps based on HTML/CSS/Javascript frameworks such as React

The team is small and directly exposed to client stakeholders of varying technical knowledge so strong communication skills are essential
