About Camden
Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. We’re not just home to the UK’s fastest-growing economy, we’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.
What You’ll Be Doing / How You’ll Be Involved
Are you passionate about building and maintaining technology that is used as a tool to help better the lives of those around us? At Camden, it’s not just what we do – it’s why we do it.
As a key member of a DevOps Team, you’ll be working to build and maintain infrastructure and platforms both in our on-premise Linux estate and in the cloud. Alongside this, you’ll support the migration of key applications to cloud hosted services, working as part of empowered teams to flexibly and efficiently understand, maintain, improve and update, our complex estate of applications.
Using Agile ways of working, you’ll be encouraged to identify new ways of solving problems. You’ll be given as much (or as little) ownership and responsibility as you have the appetite for, whilst being supported to develop your skills and grow your career. This is a journey we’ll travel together, so you will have the opportunity to influence our direction and strengthen our knowledge of recent DevOps and Platform technologies.
We value engineers with a breadth of skills, who are happy to adapt to needs of the organisation, rolling their sleeves to pick up something new, whether it’s upgrading servers, writing code, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code, or undertaking 2nd/3rd line support. Joining the organisation at an exciting time, and reporting into the Software Development Manager, there’s loads to get involved with. The opportunity is here for you to challenge the status quo, helping to influence the way we work and achieve our goals.
