About the Role
We now have an opportunity for a talented Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Team, working to support the growing use of cutting-edge scientific software deployed in a Cloud Native environment. The infrastructure ranges from on-premises Kubernetes based platforms, to off-prem Openstack Clouds offering high throughput computing as a service.
The development of synchrotron technology proceeds at a blistering, relentless pace and requires a cutting edge and exceptionally resilient technical estate to facilitate its critical work, turning theoretical science into practical and often life-changing discoveries. The Senior DevOps Engineer will help drive this innovation forward and help exploit the use of Cloud Native infrastructure to enable science.
Duties will include:
- Analysing cutting edge and industry standard DevOps tools and practices in terms of potential use within PPAV’s software development and deployment processes.
- Promoting uses cases and solutions both internally and externally through significant meetings or conferences.
- Establishing, maintaining, and participating in international collaborations to contribute to the success of PPAV as an organisation and to the success of PPAV beamlines and their users.
- Providing operational support for software components that underpin both on premises and public cloud hosted DevOps platforms.
- Delivering high quality reporting and professional advice to software developers and systems administrators regarding DevOps best practice and tooling and presenting findings.
- Contributing to the future approach of scientific and technical software development, deployment, and operations to maximise productivity and data quality for Diamond users.
Working within a close-knit and highly skilled group, you will collaborate and have the opportunity to support and develop other team members and create new projects. Your experience and underlying knowledge will permeate throughout the wider team, leading initiatives, and inspiring others.
