About Us
In 2019, the founders were working as engineers solving complex cross-domain problems within government organisations. TwinStream was formed to bring together their collective expertise and experience into a single business, focused on delivering technical excellence and high-quality service to clients. Since then, the company has grown to over 100 team members across the UK, with colleagues working both on-site with clients, hybrid and remotely from home.
Details:
- Salary: £70,000 - £85,000
- Role: Fully remote initially, with potential onsite work in Bristol 2–3 days a week after DV clearance.
About the Role
We are looking for skilled engineers to join a new team that will deploy and maintain our established cross-domain system for a customer. The system uses an AMQP event-driven microservices architecture and extensively utilises Docker container services. As a team member, you will:
- Maintain a continuous deployment pipeline
- Work with feature delivery teams to promote component releases into production
- Apply configuration management tools to ensure all deployments are consistent and correctly configured
The system is designed to be highly observable and available. The team will use monitoring tools to verify that all components are meeting SLA/SLO requirements. If any problems are identified, the team will take preventive actions to minimise customer impact and restore service as quickly as possible.
