Delivery Engineering work to help teams improve their development and release processes. We work directly with teams to improve their processes and build tooling around development and releasing. We have a number of different tools, with our most recent work focusing on tooling for generating DORA metrics and tracking PIRs (Post Incident Reviews). The resulting metrics are used by teams for understanding the efficiency of their development processes and for monthly operational reviews and reports.

We are a relatively small team which gives all members the opportunity to get involved with all aspects of the process, from consulting with teams, to requirements capture and solution design.

Technologies and practices

You’ll be working across the full-stack, to develop and support our tools. We value pairing and practice test driven development using Node.js and React deployed onto AWS. Our tools need to be well engineered, well maintained and easy to use so up-to-date documentation and guidance is essential.

We give our engineers 10% time to research new technologies and encourage participation in one of the many guilds/communities of practice.

We don’t expect you to have experience in all of these but below gives you examples of the practices we value:

• Design, develop & release software using agile practices.

• Paired-program solutions utilising a test first approach.

• Promote skills and knowledge sharing whilst also mentoring more junior colleagues.

• Support currently released software, troubleshoot production issues and answer client queries.

• Curious to learn new technologies and explore new challenges.

Essential Experiences

• Experience developing full-stack solutions, particularly with NodeJS.

• Experience of AWS serverless solutions, using CI/CD technologies including AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodePipeline, Jenkins and GitHub.

• Experience writing and documenting maintainable software within collaborative environments.

• Ability to rapidly acquire new software skills and to work with new technologies.

• Knowledge of Node.js and React.

Desirable

• Understanding of implementing Non-functional requirements.

• Ability to present complex solutions effectively to differing technical abilities

• Knowledge of GraphQL and Unix or Linux system administration
