Job description

Operations Engineer / DevOps Engineer

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

As an Operations 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 Operations 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 operating and maintaining platforms and applications in both reference and live environments, developing fixes and deploying releases and updates, 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 Windows OS and Powershell
• Desirable - some coding experience particularly with C++, C# or scripting (e.g. Python)
• Desirable - experience with Apple MacBook devices and shell scripting

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. Predominantly working on site with flexibility for hybrid working where project needs permit.

The Benefits and Perks

• Hybrid working: This role involves working the majority of the time on site at our Romsey location, with opportunity for remote and client site work subject to role requirements
• Flexi-time: Working hours to suit you and your life
• Annual bonus: Based on profit share and personal performance
• Private medical insurance: Includes cover for existing conditions
• Holiday: 25 days plus public holidays and your birthday off
• Chemring Share Save: Monthly savings into a 3 or 5 year plan.

Clearances

Due to the nature of this role, we require you to be eligible to achieve DV clearance. As a result, you should be a British Citizen and have resided in the U.K. for the last 10 years.
