More info about the role:

We are on the lookout for a talented DevOps Engineer who comes from a development background to join our thriving team. In this role, you'll play a pivotal part in designing and implementing scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure and deployment pipelines. Working closely with our development team, you'll facilitate seamless deployments while monitoring and maintaining the health and availability of our systems.

To excel in this role, you should have strong experience in infrastructure as code, containerisation, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices as well as development experience. Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a team environment are also essential.

At EstimateOne, our values are paramount, and we deeply care about our team. As a new member, you'll be joining a group of individuals who are committed to each other's happiness and success. If you're a motivated, self-starter and user-oriented professional with experience in driving growth, we'd love to have you on board.

To be successful:

To be successful in the role of DevOps Engineer at EstimateOne, you'll have a deep understanding and practical experience across several core areas of DevSecOps and cloud engineering as well as knowledge of code. Demonstrated expertise in AWS services and a strong grasp of infrastructure as code (IaC) principles, using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation, is essential. Furthermore, the ability to design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure and deployment pipelines is crucial.

Ideal candidates will bring experience with containerisation technologies (e.g., Docker, ECS, Fargate) and familiarity with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices, employing tools like Buildkite for automation and DataDog for monitoring. A strong programming background is essential; familiarity with languages such as Go, Python, or NodeJS is beneficial, though prowess in any advanced and efficient language, including exciting alternatives like Elixir or boring ones like Java. A commitment to security and networking best practices is mandatory.

Beyond technical excellence, successful candidates will have outstanding communication skills, the capability to thrive within a team setting, and a zeal for mentoring and coaching engineers. They must align with and actively contribute to the company’s ethos of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, thereby enhancing our team culture.

We are searching for self-driven, proactive, and user-focused individuals prepared to champion growth in a flexible working environment. An authentic enthusiasm for addressing complex issues within the commercial construction procurement domain and a readiness to actively engage in and enrich a vibrant team atmosphere—signified by shared laughter and chocolate stars—will mark the distinction of successful candidates.
