DevOps Engineer Melbourne, East Midlands, England

August Pty
Full Time Melbourne, East Midlands, England 57714 - 72714 GBP ANNUAL Today
Job description

A rare opportunity has opened up (seriously, this one is rare) to work within our high performing technology-led team where your role is focused on maintaining and growing the latest in good infrastructure technology and practices - both for our clients and us.

No one at August has titles so this was was a tricky role to name! There are however, some titles you could attribute to this role that would make sense to someone outside August. These titles would sound like Hosting SysAdmin, Hosting Manager, Systems Administrator, DevOps Hosting…you get where we’re going?

You’ll become a custodian of our client hosting infrastructure and be able to deliver support that makes the Nights Watch look…a little tame. This role works predominantly with Hashistack in AWS. If you don’t have experience with that, don’t worry – we’re known for investing in our team and we’ll onboard you plus ensure you’re always supported. We’re a team after all.

When you’re working with the other developers and helping them out on code deploys, you’ll be working in your familiar environments of GitHub, BuildKite, and Docker. We love open source and expect that you do too if you’re reading this.

The August team is smart and nimble; working together to help our clients change and build innovative applications. We are committed to learning and sharing something new every day.

While we expect this to be a full time role, we’re always open to chatting about part time options.

DevOps Engineers work within our diverse team to ensure our infrastructure is top notch and our clients are receiving the best experience we can provide them. We are fixated on improving our clients’ outcomes. We expect that you’re someone who values this as well.

This role in the words of August team members

It’s not every day you get to hear about a role from the person who was in it, or who they work with. Take a look at these behind the scenes chats to learn more about this unique DevOps role and the quality team you’ll be working with.

  • A desire to learn new technologies, to push/challenge the technical capability within our team and to grow with the role, regardless of your experience.
  • While you can work autonomously, team and client connection and communication is important to you.

What you will get

Working at August is not just another agency job. While we take our work seriously, we really enjoy the company of the people we work with and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. It takes time to find the right people to join our team. There’s a level of trust and flexibility that is hard to describe, but here goes nothing. You’ll enjoy the freedom to create and contribute to sophisticated projects the way you want, combined with a robustness of process that ensures you have total support to focus all your energy and inspiration on compelling design and technical challenges. If you’d like more detail, we’d love you to ask us about it!

Our values play an important part in everything we do at August. They help us deliver epic work for clients around the world and they’ve seen us through some difficult times. As a team member, you’ll continue to develop not just your technical craft, but other valuable qualities such as powerful communication skills, commercial and business nous, and handy insights into totally random stuff, like a quick and easy killer dumpling recipe, or the engineering magic behind the latest SpaceX test flight (again, you might want to ask us!). When we hire someone to join the team, we’re interested and invested in all the different parts that make up you – because ultimately, that’s what makes August.

As a team member, you can also expect:

  • A competitive salary package with various incentives and rewards.
  • Flexible and hybrid working is part of our daily jam.
  • Working within a highly motivated, talented and technology–driven team.
  • A team of people who will invest in your career progression
    and development.
