About the job you're considering

We’re seeking fellow Cloud Devops Engineers who want to grow their career and delight customers through a hybrid of project and foundational activities. We take a modern approach of working collaboratively internally and externally to achieve high levels of satisfaction both for our clients and ourselves collectively. We achieve this through focused groups of technical people, known as Pods, coming together to deliver and maintain cloud services to UK clients. The strength of our pods lies within our people, fostered by a supportive team culture. Our ideal candidate would thrive in such an environment.    

Hybrid working : The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: 
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

As an integral part of a Cloud Pod, you’ll have fantastic opportunities to develop both yourself and our collective capabilities as you progress both project and foundational requirements with other likeminded Cloud DevOps Engineers. As part of the team, you’ll be empowered to:

• Build and maintain cloud platforms with a high degree of focus on technical reuse, standardisation and blueprints; think code first rather than “ClickOps”
• Embrace modern ways of working and feel part of our customer’s outcomes as we group around activities in agile type sprints.
• Continue to strengthen and bolster your existing capabilities in platform engineering through a mix of professional training, certifications, and experiences.
• Collaborate and influence our iterative Capgemini offerings.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

Your skills and experience

• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.
• Familiarity with scripting and resource monitoring using tools like YAML, PowerShell, JSON, or Python, with a focus on automation and reducing manual tasks.
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools such as CloudFormation, ARM templates, Terraform, or Bicep.
• Understanding of DevOps practices and tools, including GitHub, Azure DevOps (Boards, Pipelines, Artifacts), and observability tools like Splunk.
• Experience contributing to end-to-end delivery using ITIL frameworks, with a focus on collaboration and continuous improvement.

Your security clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. 
To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.
