The Role

Next Technology is looking for Senior DevOps Engineers with extensive CI/CD Pipeline development to be aligned to great teams of developers in our tech domains.

We require an individual who has vast experience with Cloud, Ideally Microsoft Azure, and containerisation technologies (Using Docker and Kubernetes) to drive innovation and adoption of new cloud services.

We work closely with our Development Domains and Business users to ensure they have the right tools to get our Products to the market as quickly and efficiently as possible, allowing the business growth NEXT has seen over the last few years.

We never standstill, we are constantly looking to evolve our technology, our applications and the services we offer our stakeholders. We really are a group of people who love technology, pushing boundaries and answering the what-ifs!

Working with us would mean exposure to new technologies and ways of working, getting involved in forcing through change and ultimately providing our customers with a better service.

Having strong analytical and problem-solving skills will be advantageous especially as the person in this role will be driving forward the new technologies and approach in Next Technology.
