Introduction

These are exciting times at MOJ Digital and Technology. We have a clear vision - to develop a digitally-enabled justice system that works more simply for users - and we’re looking for talented people to help us achieve it. We’re making things better by building adaptable, effective services and making systems that are simple to use for staff and citizens. It can be challenging but it’s also important and rewarding.

As well as doing great work, we’re creating a place that’s great to do work in. We offer tip-top kit, brilliant training opportunities and support from expert colleagues. On top of that, you’ll find flexible working, an inclusive culture and a place where your opinion is valued.

Technologies

You will have demonstrable experience of cloud technologies including Kubernetes (having implemented and operated a production grade cluster), Docker and Terraform, plus excellent working knowledge of Linux (including troubleshooting, scripting and automation) along with practical experience of CI/CD pipelines. An understanding of version control with Git is essential.

You will:

* Transform technical requirements into automated processes including managing tools and testing environments, central code control, maintaining development standards and writing software that automates systems

* Deliver automated software components that form part of a toolchain and transform technical requirements into automated processes

* Build complex stories

* Be able to manage live test environments

* Identify and resolve issues preventing delivery.

* Share knowledge of tools and techniques with the wider team and technical/non-technical communities

* Transform government into a more agile organisation by helping to embed modern development practices

* Help build and maintain a diverse, inclusive culture across the development community, growing awareness, inclusivity, and balance

* Occasionally participate in 2nd line support during office hours, and sometimes out of hours (for which you’ll be paid an allowance and further hourly payment when on call)

* Help with hiring, taking part in recruitment of other web operations engineers and technical staff

All our Web Ops engineers should have:

* Experience of modern development and deployment techniques, including continuous integration and continuous delivery

* Experience working in agile environments

* Enthusiasm for sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and working in a multi-disciplinary team

* An awareness of technologies used for web applications, e.g databases, backups, CDNs and search, and of Unix-like operating systems, eg. Linux and/or Mac OS

* We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status.
