This is a great opportunity for a bright and experienced DevOps / Software Engineer to join a young company - with talented development teams based at sites in both Cambridge and Bristol. This position can be based at either site.

It is a rare chance to be “in-at-the-start” - to join a motivated team working on advanced, leading-edge applications encompassing Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics and 3D Mapping. You will earn a competitive salary - but also acquire start-up stock options in a future global leader!

Specifically, you will be responsible for building, maintaining and documenting the team’s software development infrastructure in both cloud and traditional datacentre installations.

In addition to a strong academic record, suitable candidates are likely to offer at least five years of experience within relevant technical roles - including direct knowledge of many of the following DevOps skill areas:

• Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / Mint) in an enterprise environment, including experience in some or all of LDAP, DNS, DHCP, autofs / NFS & openVPN
• Bash and Python scripting
• Linux-based multi-site configuration management (e.g. Puppet, Ansible, Chef)
• Security models at site- and single compute unit level
• Virtualisation using containers (both implementation and deployment) using docker or similar
• Queue job management systems such as Open Grid Engine or Platform LSF
• Agile software development methods and tools, especially git and Gitlab
• Continuous Integration/Deployment using Gitlab-CI, Jenkins or similar
• Deployment of private apt and docker registry servers
• Deployment of AWS services including load-balancing technologies
• Back-up and disaster recovery

You must be an excellent team player, have strong analytical and problem solving skills and be able to work with minimal supervision in a dynamic, multi-site environment - along with the drive and ambition to rapidly advance your career.
