Senior DevOps Engineer

What is the opportunity?

Bank of Ireland is embarking on a journey to transform how it develops software used to support its customers. We're looking for a hands on, proactive Senior DevOps Engineer who is a strategic thinker, but also more than capable to roll up their sleeves and implement key initiatives

The Senior DevOps Engineer role is a crucial role within the bank and you will need to be able to understand the complex requirements of delivering software in a regulated environment, have a detailed understanding of the technical building blocks used to build, test, deploy our applications, and can communicate this to both a non-technical and technical audience.

In this role, you will:

• Work closely with our engineering teams to understand their product requirements, how they build, test, deploy their software applications
• Provide guidance on DevOps tools, environments & best practices to our teams that have been developed by the DevOps Centre of Excellence (DCOE)
• Contribute to the DCOE initiatives, either in the form of documentation and best practices or helping to deliver strategic solutions to the bank that work for our engineering teams.
• Promote DevOps internally within the bank, and be an advocate for clean, rapid & robust software delivery pipelines within the bank
• Have strong technical background and you can seamlessly move from the presentation deck to the code editor and help realize our strategic ambitions

What will make you stand out?

• A minimum of 8 years in a software development
• A strong development background in languages such as C, C#, Java, Golang and a thorough understanding of their test frameworks
• You're used tools like Ansible / Puppet / Chef to deliver infrastructure, and you know how to test them thoroughly
• Excellent skills in one of the main scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby and their test frameworks
• Understanding of what's required to get your application to a production environment

Experience with any of the following will help you to stand out but is not necessary in order to apply for this role:

• Exposure to the requirements of delivering software in regulated environments, and comfortable with a large number of stakeholders who need to understand how your processes are designed and delivered
• You can articulate technical designs and processes to both engineering teams and non-technical audiences

Essential Qualifications

There are no specific qualifications or minimum educational requirements needed for this role.
