• Continuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement in IaC processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
• Innovation and Problem-Solving: Lead innovative projects and solve complex technical challenges related to IaC, ensuring the infrastructure is robust and adaptable to evolving needs.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We'd love to work with you if you have:

• Proficiency in Terraform: Extensive experience in using Terraform for infrastructure automation and management, including writing and maintaining Terraform modules, linting standards, automated testing and best-practice guidance.
• Leading By Example: Prior experience running demos, workshops and training sessions to support the upskilling and cross-training of other engineers.
• Expertise in Helm: Strong knowledge of Helm for managing Kubernetes applications, including creating and managing Helm charts.
• Understanding of Policy as Code (PoC): Demonstrated expertise in HashiCorp Sentinel and/or Open Policy Agent (OPA), including practical applications and the ability to write Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to effectively leverage PoC for compliance and governance.
• Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities and analytical skills to troubleshoot and optimize infrastructure as code solutions
