DevOps Engineer (Azure, AKS)

AMCS builds cloud-based software and vehicle technology for the waste, recycling, transport and utilities industries, delivered to customers worldwide. DevOps Engineers keep the Azure and Kubernetes platform behind our products secure, reliable and easy to release to, and keep the customer environments we run healthy and supported.

Most of the time goes on reliability and security: setting service levels, leading incidents and fixing vulnerabilities before they cause problems. The rest goes on improving how engineers build and release software. Day-to-day focus is shaped around each engineer's strengths.

Objective

Keep the AMCS platform secure, reliable and easy to release to, by setting service levels, leading incidents, fixing vulnerabilities early and improving how engineers build, release and support software.

What you'll do

• Define service level objectives (SLOs) and build the monitoring and alerting that protects them.
• Lead incidents, take part in on-call, and run post-incident reviews that lead to lasting fixes.
• Test backup, restore and disaster recovery so we know we can recover.
• Manage vulnerabilities, patching, secrets, certificates and access across Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
• Build CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps with automated test, quality and security gates.
• Set standards for source control, development environments, feature flags and release readiness.
• Deliver upgrades and hotfixes to customer environments, and keep those environments healthy.
• Resolve tickets and alerts, then turn what you learn into runbooks and automation.
• Work daily with colleagues across Europe, North America and Australia, help set engineering standards, and coach other engineers.
