DevOps Engineer

Job description

Intrigued by working with products and solutions that solve some of the most interesting challenges in National Security?

As a DevOps Engineer, you thrive on being integral to the mission; working collaboratively with customer and development teams to maintain and sustain operational integrity of mission critical National Security services through-life.

You're someone who enjoys challenge, welcomes end to end ownership and a broad scope of responsibility. You'd be bored rolling out the same 3rd party payment application to multiple vendors.

With a tenacious and technologically curious mind you'll ensure successful delivery of software rollouts and truly understand the mission impact of your work.

Roke are a leading technology & engineering company with clients spanning National Security, Defence and Industry 4.0 through our Futures business and Intelligence as a Service. You will work alongside our customers to solve their complex and unique challenges.

As our next DevOps Engineer, you'll be resolving issues before your customers notice and ensuring continued operational integrity of services that are strategically important to the nation. You will be deploying to both reference and live environments, developing and deploying code through CI/CD and the triage/analysis and resolution of support tickets.

The Key Requirements

• Experience of working in a CI/CD environment including tools such as Jenkins, Gitlab
• Experience with Microsoft SQLServer, and .Net stack
• Recent experience with scripting and languages such as Python, Java, C++, C#, and AngularJS
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code technologies (IaC) such as Ansible or Terraform
• Familiarity with virtualisation or containerisation technologies such as Kubernetes, Helm, Docker or VMware ESXi.

Built on over a 60 years heritage, Roke offers specialist knowledge in sensors, communications, cyber, and AI and ML. We change the way organisations think and act - through dynamic insights from the analysis of multiple layers of data. We take care of the innovative, technical stuff that keeps everyone safe - that's our mission, passion, and motivation.

Joining a team united by purpose and ambition, you'll be at the heart of an exciting growth journey: having doubled in size over the last 4 years, we intend to double our headcount by 2027. At Roke, every individual counts. We push technical boundaries, together. We re-invest in product innovation, and we empower our people to make a difference.

With us your technologically curious nature will allow you to understand complex system architectures and upskill in new technologies. The environments you maintain will be responsible for keeping the country safe. The mission impact of your work will be hard to replicate elsewhere.

Where you'll work

You'll find our Romsey site located within beautiful Hampshire countryside, close to the picturesque New Forest District and not far from a superb stretch of the south coast. This is no corporate concrete jungle; this is a manor house site, with ample parking an on-site gym and a driveway full of daffodils in the spring.

Why you should join us

Operating as one Roke, there is a shared belief that everyone has a responsibility to create an environment that encourages you to bring your whole self to work; in a place where everyone has the time, trust and freedom to succeed.

We are committed to a policy of Equal Opportunity, Diversity and Inclusion, enabled by our employee led resource groups of Women In Roke, Neurodiversity, Inspire (LGBT+) ME (Majority Ethnic), Veterans and Disability; which each contribute to making Roke a great place for people from all backgrounds to work.

Mental health and wellbeing is also important to Roke, there is a group of supportive Mental Health First Aiders to lend a listening ear for anyone who needs it; alongside a team of Mental Health First Aid Champions who help build a mentally healthy workplace, challenge stigma and support positive wellbeing.
