Please click on the link for details. We are recruiting two Lead DevOps Engineers to join the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), working within the Chief Architect function. These roles will provide technical leadership for DevOps and platform engineering across strategic technology platforms that enable the Ministry of Justice to deliver secure, reliable and scalable digital services. OCTO sets technical direction across the organisation. It defines standards, shapes shared platforms and ways of working, and supports teams to build and operate systems that are secure, reliable and sustainable. As a Lead DevOps Engineer, you will help shape and operate critical platform capabilities that support delivery across the organisation. You will establish and promote modern engineering practices, ensuring platforms are resilient, observable, secure and easy for teams to use. Working closely with engineers, architects, product managers and delivery teams, you will help create the environments, tooling and operational processes needed to support effective software delivery at scale. Justice Digital, Data and Science exists to support the delivery of justice through modern, reliable and secure digital services. We work in multidisciplinary teams, focus on user needs, and take a pragmatic approach to technology that balances pace with long-term sustainability.
