## Job description

Equal Experts is an innovative consultancy specialising in the delivery of custom software solutions for blue-chip enterprise and public sector clients across a range of industry sectors. We work on important projects for our clients, deliver market-leading propositions across the digital, online and mobile channels, and are recognised for our leadership in the application of agile and lean delivery methods to assure delivery. We have offices in Australia, India, South Africa, the UK, the EU and the USA.

We see operability as a fundamental tenet of our approach to building and delivering software. The reasoning? The role is not simply about facilitating the continuous delivery of quality software; we focus on the operational requirements we deliver to ensure that software runs in production, as desired. Our Operability Engineers draw on all their experience of DevOps practices in what’s a very hands-on, collaborative role – actively pairing with others to share knowledge and increase the delivery team’s maturity around Operability.

This role involves working in teams that use modern agile technical practices - including continuous integration and deployment and fast feedback loops - to deliver timely and pragmatic solutions, as well as helping others to do their jobs in a more effective way.

## Responsibilities

● Influence, collaborate, and manage expectations with immediate stakeholders and the team. ● Build with consideration for the customer's ability to support and maintain the software. ● Provide support and leadership by mentoring client team members. ● Clearly communicate technical concepts or ideas to any audience. ● Demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to changing environments.

Required Skills ● Open and capable of pair or mob programming. Can work closely with developers in cross-functional teams. ● Programming language and coding experience (e.g., able to build a simple service with automated tests). ● Strong automation skills, including experience with unit testing and automated testing tools. ● Delivers small pieces of work continuously. Prefers shorter feedback loops and aims for all work to go to production. ● Understands when and why to use a branching strategy and recognizes when a branching strategy has gone too far. ● Strong technical background in build, release, and environments, with experience and expertise in software build tools, CI tools like Jenkins, Gitlab, and Github Actions. ● Strong knowledge of Linux and/or Windows. Comfortable working on the command line. ● Solid understanding of Cloud Computing providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and experience with functions, containers, and virtual machines. ● Familiarity with infrastructure provisioning tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure ARM,Pulumi). ● Understanding of telemetry practices (monitoring, graphing, alerting, anomaly detection) and tools (e.g., Elastic, Grafana, Datadog, Sensu, Prometheus). ● Proficient in network implementation, debugging network issues, and collaborating with networking teams to build and maintain networks. ● Experience running, operating, and supporting software in production.
