The DevOps Lead at AllPoints Fibre is a key part of our Systems Engineering team and is accountable for building, testing, and maintaining tools and infrastructure used for rapid and reliable software development and release. This role will work closely with Development Lead, Solution Architects, Security practitioners, and Product Owners to define and implement our transformation roadmap and the necessary infrastructure and cloud environments for lasting solutions.
This role is also accountable for optimizing the infrastructure and applications for uptime and performance. This role will stay abreast of industry trends and new technology developments across cloud and hybrid operating models. This role will also collaborate with systems teams as needed to share knowledge, resolve blocks, reduce technical debt, promote best practices, and consistency across the organization.
What you will be doing:
Automation is key to getting the most out of our work, so you’ll be working with systems like Terraform and GitHub Actions to trigger automated actions and handle any fallout if things don’t go to plan.
Clear communication and documentation is essential, which means thoroughly documenting each release, managing database migrations, being able to quickly roll back in case of failure, and supporting the development teams who rely on DevOps to release their work.
As a DevOps Lead, you will have the final say on DevOps decision-making but we aim for a collaborative approach, which means effectively communicating with other teams to find the solution that best suits their needs.
You’ll need to be comfortable leading one or junior DevOps engineers and working with suppliers. Be prepared to assist or provide training wherever necessary, as well as fostering an engaging atmosphere where your team feels motivated to do a great job every day.

To be successful in this role you will be proficient in the following areas:
* Database Management (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL)
* GitHub (& GitHub Actions)
* Linux (Ubuntu) Administration
* AWS (RDS, EC2, S3, SQS, SES)
* Confluent Cloud (Kafka)
