Devops Engineer London, England
Job description
Devops Engineer (Internal name - Platform Engineer)
Group Tech
Permanent
Office location: Hybrid - Grays Inn Road, London
Why you should join us…
We connect with millions of people every day, make content they can't get enough of and reflect and shape the world we live in… and we do all this through the power of creativity.
We will be a digitally led entertainment and media company that creates and brings brilliant content to audiences, wherever, whenever and however they choose.
Business overview per Business Area:
The focus is on making sure we deliver new features and improvements to ITV Hub so that no matter where you are, you can watch our great content. This also means making sure the Hub is available on the widest variety of platforms and devices as possible.
The team is also responsible for the websites and applications that promote and support our brands across our TV shows, News and Sport.
This role entails…
We are looking for Devops Engineers to help build our data infrastructure supporting the development of our data products such as ETLs, ML models, CDP within our new data mesh framework.
You will be working in a cross functional team of platform engineers, security engineers and architect, but wherever you are you'll be working with great people using the latest technology. We believe that "you build it, you run it" so we organise around teams that have full control and responsibility for their systems end-to-end. One day you might be helping deploy a new microservice into AWS, the next watching it handle millions of requests during the Love Island final.
You will be challenged in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, but you’ll be given the autonomy, mastery and purpose to succeed. We value smart work as much as hard work, so you’ll be encouraged to automate wherever possible.
To be considered for this opportunity you will need to demonstrate the following skills:

- Have an understanding of data platform and tooling in the data domain
- Possess a great working knowledge of Linux (ideally Centos)
- Be passionate working within an agile, multidisciplinary ‘Devops’ team
- Be a clear communicator that documents well and is happy having their work critiqued
ITV strongly encourages applications for this role from candidates with a disability and as a Disability Confident Leader if you meet the minimum criteria for a role and you have declared that you have a disability, we’ll guarantee you’ll get to the next stage*.
(minimum criteria above)
The Key role criteria is as follows:
As an Engineer, you will:
- Be accountable for platform quality within your team
- Empower our data teams (data engineer, Data scientist, ML engineers, analyst) to take ownership of the operation, performances and availability of our data services
- Play a key role in the build-out, migration to and operation of our data platform
- Help solve difficult technical challenges
- Advise and influence architectural designs and decisions
- Promote ITV in the community via open source, blogs, meetups and conferences
As a team, we:
- Keep it simple, obey the Principle of Least Astonishment, and try to avoid duplication
- Define “done” as tested, documented, and seen by someone else
- Take pride in our work, solving interesting and difficult problems whilst asking “why”
- Help design, build and maintain ITV’s most critical internal and external systems, ensuring they’re reliable, secure, fast and scalable
- Act as force multipliers for our colleagues, driving productivity upwards
- Maintain a common set of tools and standards, shared across the company
