The job

• Automate various manual processes of IT operations, such as deployment, build pipelines and monitoring to reduce the number of incidents
• Maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Application and Infrastructure planning, testing and development

• Actively applying best practice activities, tools, processes, and methods
• Using your knowledge and experience to advise colleagues in best practice techniques and to implement operationally efficient products with high levels of availability

Joining the team

Together with the team, you will ensure the reliable operation of applications for projects across the organisation. In other words, you influence shaping our delivery and mindset, so IT and good business are aligned.

You will be given the room to manoeuvre and get the opportunity to work with the newest technologies. If you have a genuine passion for solving problems and appreciate constant mind challenges, if you are enthusiastic about finding solutions to challenging situations and feel motivated by continuous improvement of operations, then you might just be the person we are looking for.

When ready, you will be part of a 24/7 on-call roster with your colleagues in the SRE team. The on-call roster is currently in a 5-week cycle. 1 week primary, 1 week secondary and 3 weeks off.
