Enable fast, secure, and reliable software delivery across ERM’s digital products by building and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and cloud‑based release processes.
This role focuses on implementing platform capabilities that improve developer productivity, operational readiness, and system reliability, while standardising engineering ways of working across pods.
The engineer contributes to delivery through automation, monitoring, observability, incident support, and creation of consistent, reusable engineering patterns for cloud-hosted applications.
CI/CD, Automation & Deployment Pipelines
Build, maintain, and optimise automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Jenkins to ensure fast and repeatable delivery.
Implement automated build, testing, packaging, and deployment workflows across multiple environments.
Support release processes including blue/green, rolling, and canary deployments in cloud environments.
Maintain reusable CI/CD templates, workflows, and engineering standards across pods/projects.
Infrastructure, Platform & Environment Support
Work with architects and engineers to implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) patterns using Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent tooling.
Support environment provisioning, configuration, and deployment of application components.
Collaborate with platform and cloud teams to implement secure, scalable, and cost-efficient environments for hosting applications.
Monitoring, Observability & Operational Support
Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure visibility and reliability of production systems.
Contribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements.
Ensure operational readiness through health checks, diagnostics, and automated recovery patterns.
Drive adoption of observability best practices across application teams.
Engineering Standards & Ways of Working
Promote standardised engineering patterns, CI/CD approaches, and secure development practices across pods.
Build reusable platform components and delivery tooling for consistent and secure software development.
Support knowledge transfer, documentation, and onboarding of teams to platform capabilities.
Work collaboratively within pod-based delivery teams to ensure consistent engineering principles.
Contribute to decisions on CI/CD architecture, deployment strategies, and operational tooling used across engineering teams.
Influence standardised engineering processes, release patterns, and automation best practices.
Recommend improvements to pipeline performance, reliability, and operational health based on metrics and incident learnings.
Provide technical input into reusable platform components and shared tooling.
Education & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Typically 5+ years’ experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud automation roles.
Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production environments.
Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams (developers, architects, QA, platform engineers).
Technical Skills
Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins for pipeline design and automation.
Understanding of cloud deployment models and release strategies (AWS/Azure).
Experience with IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep) and configuration management.
Knowledge of Docker/containerization and experience supporting container-based deployments.
Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, etc.).
Strong understanding of secure DevOps practices, secrets management, and least-privilege access.
Behavioural Skills
Strong problem-solving skills with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset.
Effective communicator who can collaborate with developers, architects, and operational teams.
Quality-minded, systematic approach to automation, testing, and reliability engineering.
Ability to work calmly in incident situations and drive operational improvements.
Willingness to learn and adapt as platform tooling and cloud technologies evolve.
Experience with AWS services related to DevOps (ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM, CloudWatch).
Exposure to container orchestration (Kubernetes, EKS, AKS).
Experience designing internal developer platforms or reusable pipeline frameworks.
Familiarity with release governance, change management, and compliance in enterprise settings.
Experience working in pod-based or cross-functional product delivery teams.
