Do you have a passion for technology as well as helping team members and stakeholders? Are you an experienced Cloud/DevOps Engineer? Are you well versed with Site Reliability Engineering? If you’ve answered yes to these questions then we may have the role for you. 

As the Cloud SRE/DevOps Engineer, you will be working within the amazing Metro Bank Engineering function, where you will be responsible for driving automation, reliability and observability across critical platforms & applications. You will also make sure they meet the requirements of both internal & external customers. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

• Driving automation within the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
• Eliminating repetitive manual processes using automation 
• Driving the build of Reliable, Scalable, and Observable solutions on Private & Public Cloud Platforms
• Assisting with the resolution of issues that Engineering or Ops teams may have
• Working closely with architects and solution engineers to ensure adherence to standards and designs
• Incorporating best practices into the build and running of solutions 
• Contributing to the SRE/DevOps community within the bank to share knowledge and experience and promote re-use of proven solutions and code

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• You will need strong experience with CI/CD tooling like Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GIT, Nexus and SonarQube to create automated Build, Test and Release pipelines as part of the SDLC
• You will have experience of Agile methodologies and ways of working including using tools like Jira and Confluence
• You should understand the concepts and principles of Site Reliability Engineering, and DevSecOps
• You will need to have experience in tools like Terraform and Ansible to automate the build, delivery and management of Infrastructure and Applications into NonProd and Prod environments   
• You should have experience of microservice and container technologies like Kubernetes, Docker and also of API Gateways and Service Meshes like Kong and Istio 
• Experience of Monitoring and Logging solutions (like App Dynamics, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
• You should have proven experience of building & supporting solutions on Public Cloud (AWS or Azure) or Private Cloud (VMWare) platforms
• You should have knowledge of Operating Systems (specifically Linux) and of Cloud Networking concepts 
• You should demonstrate an aptitude for logical thinking and good troubleshooting skills

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
