What’s life like as a senior devops consultant at Opencast?

Please note, you must have existing SC Clearance for this role.

At Opencast, we love to keep things simple, and we love automation.

It’s not the same as your standard senior devops consultant job. Depending on your client’s needs, you’ll take on a range of roles. These will include:

• Taking the lead on responding to outages, triaging issues, balancing stakeholder priorities/concerns, and keeping communication channels open with all parties
• Designing, developing, and implementing continuous deployment solutions that help our clients to deliver software faster and more efficiently
• Collaborating with our clients to understand their ways of working and will have an enthusiasm to learn new tools and technologies as needed
• Helping and mentoring other developers so that they can achieve their full potential
• Contributing within Opencast communities
• Ensure that work is carried out in accordance with Opencast's quality, environmental, and information security policies and procedures, as well as applicable customer policies, standards, and procedures while working on client

We care about building things right. We believe in good devops practices and keeping things simple. We want to support you as much as we can on interiorising our approach to devops engineering and you supporting others.

We are proud consultants who combine our own experience and approach with our company values.

We are comfortable with new tech. We are empowered, cloud native, vendor agnostic devops engineers. We are empathetic, patient and care about quality.

We know when to pick our battles and how to manage expectations. We are humble, inclusive team players that listen and collaborate, with zero egos!

We’re always willing to teach and help others (inside or outside of our team). And we’re always willing to learn.

It’s a varied job that keeps you super technical and excited.
