Ofgem is committed to making a positive difference for energy consumers through effective regulation of the market and close working with suppliers to ensure sustainable energy for consumers and businesses in the UK.

This is an opportunity for an experienced DevOps Engineer to take on a central role in our technical community - supporting the professional development of less experienced colleagues, and working to ensure the continuity and resilience of our cloud PaaS/IaaS, working with Kubernetes clusters in Azure. You can expect to be deeply involved in continuous improvements to platforms, including system development, processes design and automation and diagnostics improvements to deliver assurance of platform security, privacy and resilience. You'll work collaboratively within and beyond the DevOps community, using agile methodologies to securely automate and improve efficiencies between different internal platforms.
