You will be someone who enjoys working in a team environment and has a passion for continuous learning and a desire to improve and share your knowledge across the Technology community.

• You will work in close partnership with development teams ensuring sustainable and reusable design patterns that support efficient production operation. This will typically require participation in hybrid pods that include development and business colleagues.
• As the participant in agile development pods you will have visibility into the build and deployment pipeline around an application set, ensuring that release criteria are being met and the integrity of the production environment is maintained.
• You will understand the SDLC and be able to design, implement and automate processes to defend the integrity, security, and auditability of key risk controls.
• You will ensure the appropriate levels of instrumentation are implemented across an ecosystem of applications and will have in depth knowledge of the monitoring tool landscape particularly with APM toolsets and the ability to interpret and analyze metric data to proactively identify and address potential system issues.

• Knowledge or experience of defining Error Budgets, Service Level Indicators (SLI's) & Service Level Objectives (SLO's)
• Have deep knowledge and practical experience of the monitoring stack and popular open source and third-party toolsets which provide visibility into Application performance, analytic telemetry fed by system metrics and machine log data.
• Hands on experience and technical knowledge of cloud concepts (Azure, AWS), API frameworks & container technologies.
• Powerful collaboration abilities and demonstrable ability to juggle multiple demands, deliverables and priorities with a capability to self-drive execution of owned - and team owned - activities
• The role requires excellent communication skills to ensure clear and concise dialogue globally with peers and stakeholders.
