BT's Enterprise Digital team is responsible for building integrated, scalable, and robust enterprise journeys. We are currently looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with proven experience in designing, architecting, and implementing robust and durable solutions, especially in the cloud, preferably at scale.
About the Role:
This role is a hybrid working position working remotely and from our Birmingham Digital Hub.
You will be joining the Platforms team within Enterprise digital whose goal is to make life for the development teams in other parts of the business easier by providing a set of low friction, fully managed cloud capabilities and abstracting these complexities away from the developer – allowing them to focus on code and not infrastructure. We are a non-traditional DevOps function, focusing on coding for automation and developing tooling and capabilities engineered to impact multiple teams. As a member of the Platform team you will play a key role in reimagining productivity by shipping transformative services, tools and frameworks that serve diverse aspects of the enterprise. You will have the ability to shape the direction that we take and have a hands-on role in the implementation of this solution.
