Role: DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer - AWS Location: Nottingham / Hybrid (Remote but in the office once / twice a month)Salary: £55,000 - £65,000 + 10-15% Bonus (overall minimum package is over £80,000!) There's certainly no shortage of positions within Cloud, DevOps, SysAdmin, Platform or Site Reliability (SRE) vacancies right now, you've probably scrolled past a dozen or so already! With the technology seeing a massive surge of interest over the last few years, everyone is crying out for the heroes who can implement solutions that us mere mortals could never hope to understand. But why would you join this company in particular? Well, apart from amazing benefits, a competitive salary (up to £55,000 per year), and a level of support, progression, and development that is basically unmatched by all others in their market, they can offer you the one thing that really counts: the chance to create something truly unique! With a brand that extends across the globe, it would be fair to say that this is the company that provides the FinTech solutions that power everything else when it comes to FinTech. They create solutions that power the way the entire western world views finance. You'd be joining a team of around a dozen platform engineers in one of a few teams, helping to mentor the more junior guys and working closely with your senior colleagues to guide the deployment of complex cloud systems. You'll be a proficient DevOps Engineer but a few things I'll be looking for are; a software focus with shell scripting exp e.g. Bash or an OO language such as Python / C# etc, Configuration automation tools (Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt, Cloud formation, Terraform etc), building automation and CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as Rundeck, Jenkins, Octopus Deploy, Kubernetes, TeamCity etc. Although you'd be mainly working with AWS, they're a multi-cloud organisation so you'd get exposure to Azure, GCP and (soon) Alibaba along the way. They're a big organisation, so this may not be the best place for people who want to shy away or hide in the corner. You don't have to be the life of the party, but if you're comfortable in your own skin and don't mind mucking in and explaining things to stakeholders from time to time, you'll be just fine. The nuts and bolts are available in more detail, but these are the key highlights! If you think you're made of the right stuff and find out more, get in touch!

We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things... • Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders • Experience of SDLC tools & processes such as Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, CI/CD (ie Jenkins/Azure DevOps/GIT) • Strong experience with automation & infrastructure as code tools like Terraform and Ansible • Extensive experience of frameworks and technologies such as Kubernetes, Istio, Kong, Docker, Kafka, Mongo • Good knowledge of Linux (including coding & scripting in languages like Bash, Python, Javascript etc) • Experience of Monitoring and Logging solutions (like App Dynamics, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) • Proven experience of building & supporting solutions for Public Cloud platforms (ie AWS, EC2, EKS, Lamba, APIGW) including IaaS and PaaS services. • Solid understanding of how to configure Cloud for high scalability and resilience, disaster recovery, tight security and proven compliance, high performance, fault detection and automated resolution, etc. • Solid understand of Cloud Networking • Knowledge of security and compliance principles and challenges within the Cloud, and able to build the appropriate solutions • Very good understanding and experience of agile and DevOps processes and tooling, as well as operational support processes and tooling • Experience working with architecture, security, networks, operations and other technology teams • Ability to articulate often complex technical solutions in a simple and coherent manner to the appropriate audience • Have fantastic communication and stakeholder management skills • This role is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime. This means that If you are successful in your application, we are required to carry out additional checks that will be repeated annually while you are in this role. For more information you can visit the FCA website or ask your recruiter who can explain further. IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE; Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that 'normal' office hours aren't always doable, and while we can't accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren't sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
