DevOps Engineer Placement

Our client is a leading UK fashion and home retailer.

The role

Technology drives what we do at our client, and as a Tech Placement, you will be a vital part of our evolution. This role is designed to help you learn and grow by giving you hands-on experience and real responsibilities.

What you'll take on

You'll play a key part in migrating our platforms from our own servers to the cloud. This will give you hands-on experience with a range of technologies, including Infrastructure-as-code to build and manage environments automatically and Azure DevOps for creating automated pipelines that build and release software. You'll also work with Docker and Kubernetes to run applications in containers, and use PowerShell and other scripts to automate tasks.
You'll also get to work with both Windows and Linux servers, as well as SQL databases. Additionally, you'll learn how our applications are built using the .NET Framework and C#, gaining a solid understanding of the entire development lifecycle.
As a member of the team, you'll help project teams use our cloud environments efficiently and collaborate with our brilliant in-house security and auditing teams. This is a great opportunity to make a real impact on our migration projects from day one.
You'll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. A fast-paced, encouraging, and supportive environment in which everyone brings an energy and a commitment to delivering for our customers and their own careers.

About you:

• On track for a 2:1 or higher in a degree, or Master's degree that includes a 12-month placement, covering cloud computing concepts (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS), CICD, Containerisation and IaC (Infrastructure as code)
• You're self-motivated and eager to learn, with a self-motivated attitude to handle any new challenge.
• Your ambition is clear through your passion for analytical and programming skills and commitment to building a great career.

BE BRAVE. BE YOU. BE OUR CLIENT.
