Lead Dev Ops Engineer

As part of National Security Law enforcement, we have teams working on-site supporting critical national operational applications, systems and networks as well as developing new solutions to help tackle a broad variety of serious crime. 

We have a great team on site who have worked closely with the client for many years. We have built a trusted relationship with this client over the years, their office is shiny and new, very close to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Stratford Westfield shopping centre, which has so many amenities. 

National Security LE’s on site teams are included in all the usual social events, including Account forums, team lunches and evenings out.

There is a wide variety of work, constantly evolving with new technology.   You will have the opportunity to make a real difference, due to the fact that we work directly with the operational end users who work with partner agencies and also provide these important capabilities to another National LEA.

We are looking for full-stack developers and DevOps engineers to join the team ASAP.

At the moment we are particularly keen on anyone who wants to lead a team, as well as engineers with at least 1 years’ experience in some of the technologies below (or equivalents) and are willing to learn. 

Core Responsibilities involved:

•             Incident management

•             Application design and development

•             Site reliability (observability, alerting, high-availability, self-healing systems etc.)

•             Database administration

•             Infrastructure provisioning

•             Process automation

·             Respond to change requests

Main Technologies involved (but not limited to):

•             Oracle DB

•             Docker (with Docker Swarm)

•             Elastic Stack

•             Typescript/React/Node

•             Go

•             Prometheus/Grafana

•             ESRI Maps

•             Ansible

•             Windows & Linux

•             Jenkins

Ways of Working:

Due to the classification of the work, we have to be on site in Stratford at least 4 days a week, with ability to work from home occasionally.

The work requires SC clearance minimum but MoD DV is preferred, so if you are willing to go through MOD DV, this would be ideal.

This role is part of our National Security  business, where we develop operational solutions and deliver mission-critical services to Law Enforcement Agencies and Government departments. Our dedicated engineers and business consultants form multi-disciplinary teams, working together to provide a variety of solutions that help to prevent, protect and pursue criminals involved in serious and organised crime, enhance operational capabilities and deliver digital transformation programmes.  Our work is a mix of remote working with some travel to various LEA sites around the UK. We need proactive, solution finding individuals with a can do attitude to join our teams to help solve some of the most difficult challenges so even if this role isn’t a perfect fit we’d still love to hear from you!
