DevOps Consultant

The Role

At Opencast, we love to keep things simple, and we love automation. It’s not the same as your standard DevOps Consultant job. Depending on your client’s needs, you’ll take on a range of roles, including:

• Taking the lead on responding to outages, triaging issues, balancing stakeholder priorities/concerns, and keeping communication channels open with all parties.
• Developing, and implementing continuous deployment solutions that help our clients to deliver software faster and more efficiently.
• Collaborating with our clients to understand their ways of working and will have an enthusiasm to learn new tools and technologies as needed.
• Contributing within Opencast communities.
• Ensure that work is carried out in accordance with Opencast's quality, environmental, and information security policies and procedures, as well as applicable customer policies, standards, and procedures while working on client.

Essential experience

To succeed in this role, you'll have experience working within DevOps and be able to demonstrate, with tangible examples, that you can:

• Create, modify, and maintain complex CI/CD pipelines.
• Create dashboards and visualisations for application performance that proactively identify and address potential problems before they occur.
• Use automated testing to detect security issues/vulnerabilities in application and/or infrastructure code, thereby detecting issues before it reaches production (aka Shift-Left).
• Strong experience in operating and maintaining services primarily in any of the BIG three public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP).

Essential consulting skills

In addition to DevOps skills, there are essential core skills you need to be an Opencast consultant, including:

• Contribute to improving ways of working and driving continuous improvements within your teams.
• Share knowledge and best practice with fellow consultants, including proactively engaging in client and Opencast communities of practice.
• Positively challenge decisions or solutions you don't agree with, striving for the best client outcome.
• Create lasting value in the projects you work on, ensuring a user-centric, sustainable approach.
• Engage with Opencast in a meaningful way, supporting the growth of your practice and wider capability.
• Support Opencast's growth plans, by providing case studies and updates into the relevant forums of your project work.
