Job Description

We’re growing our amazing Cloud Platform engineering team. This team set the delivery and quality standards for Cloud Platform engineering within Digital Intelligence and across our customers. They help design and build applications for a range of critical public & government services and we are looking for an Engineering Manager to be part of that success. You will be working at the cutting edge of cloud technology and solutions as part of a vibrant and inclusive team that fosters positivity and development at its centre.

Our Platform Engineers design, develop and iterate on shared engineering tools and frameworks, providing capabilities across a number of areas, including monitoring and observability and incident management. They work closely with other teams to design, build and deploy secure infrastructure and release automation that fits the customer’s needs. They champion best practices and aid in delivering highly available, performant platforms and applications. We’re agile by default and we introduce and operate practices such as continuous deployment to support live applications. We strive to create solutions that are reusable, scalable and driven by automation.

As an Engineering Manager you will be responsible for managing some of our senior stakeholder relationships and ensuring that our teams are set up for success. Using your technical and business skills you will help bridge the gap between the client and our engineering teams. You will be responsible for making sure our teams live by agile values and principles, following the processes and practices that have been agreed amongst the teams and that deliver against our customer commitments.

You will build high performing teams by ensuring the right capabilities are placed effectively at the right time, creating an enthusiastic environment. You will also support our teams by reporting on the work they complete at both an internal and external stakeholder level, highlighting areas of improvement and championing their successes.

You’ll be joining a team that understands that you get the best from people by encouraging them to be themselves and by allowing creativity to flourish. We support this by empowering our teams to own a solution throughout the development lifecycle whilst providing senior engineering support where needed. You will also be supported to develop your skills through regular training and development and will be joining a community of engineers who understand the importance of knowledge sharing.

We’ve embraced hybrid working in our teams and we typically spend 1-2 days per week together on site with the rest of your time being spent remote. Requirements can be assessed on an individual basis to get the balance right and we run regular events such as team socials, virtual pub quizzes and team forums to give our teams the chance to socialise amongst each other and the wider business.
