  • Python 3 (core automation logic)
  • Ansible (deployment)
  • Jenkins (CI/CD & build pipelines)
  • Bash & PowerShell (Linux & Windows automation)

• Reverse-engineering existing applications and manual build processes into fully automated, zero-touch deployments.

• Building automation for server, network, and storage platforms across multiple vendors.

• Creating high-quality technical documentation and design artefacts.

• Supporting system testing and resolving live service issues.

• Working in an Agile delivery environment using JIRA and Confluence.

• Collaborating closely with infrastructure, service management, and security teams.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Agile development practices.

Plus:

• Strong experience with advanced Python & PowerShell features (Workflows, DSC, Bare Metal Deployment).

• At least one current professional certification, such as:

  • CCNP (or equivalent networking cert)
  • VMware VCP (or equivalent virtualisation cert)
  • RHCE / RHCA (Linux)
  • OCA or formal software development certification

• Excellent communication skills - because automation still involves humans.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.

• Active SC Clearance (mandatory).

• Solid MS Office skills.

Desirable Extras (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience with JIRA, Confluence, and Bamboo.
• Background in UK Public Sector / Defence, ideally Defence Digital.
