- Strong experience with GitHub and CI/CD, with a good understanding of continuous integration, continuous delivery and automated testing.
- A good technical understanding of scripting and configuration, ideally including Bash, Python and YAML, together with experience of cloud technologies.
- Experience working within Agile environments, supporting developers and teams to improve the way they build, test and release software.
- A degree-level qualification in Software Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
