Department: Technology Location: Bristol, UK Compensation: £70,000 - £90,000 / year Description Our aim at Made Tech is to use human‑centred technology to improve our society. We believe putting people at the heart of designing, building and delivering public services leads to better outcomes for everyone. Are you a Software Engineer that wants to actually see the real‑world impact from what you help to create? Our mission is simple! We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. At Made Tech, we’re collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage all people from under‑represented groups to apply for roles with us. Have we caught your interest? Please read on… About the role We primarily write and deliver custom software for the public sector. We work across central and local government, as well as in health, and our past lies in the technology startup world. Technical excellence for us isn’t about delivering to feature lists. We place a strong emphasis on outcome‑based delivery; ensuring our customers goals are understood and achieved with the technology we deploy. High performing software delivery teams need to be empowered to iteratively and rapidly deliver changes all the way through to production. To do this we combine our extensive cloud automation knowledge with DevOps culture. We ensure we document our architecture and infrastructure as code, using technologies such as Terraform and OpenAPI. Containerisation is a big part of empowering our teams to develop, deploy and scale their applications, but so too is using AWS Lambda and avoiding the complexity of stateful services altogether. Right tool for the job. For us, DevOps is about culture rather than roles and titles. Even though this role is for someone with strong DevOps experience, the biggest impact you will have is coaching and helping teams use the platforms you build. You won’t be building infrastructure in isolation or charged with deploying other people’s work into production. You’ll empower teams with the mantra: you build it, you run it! Our teams have used Java, Ruby, Python, ES6 with React, C# with .NET Core. We don’t limit ourselves as a company and we expect all our Engineers to be keen on learning new technologies. Automation is important to our teams, so we make sure there is a CD pipeline set up to build, test, and release many times per day. We grow a team of language‑agnostic engineers, which you might already consider yourself to be, who are versed in a mix of paradigms such as object‑oriented, functional, declarative, event‑based and aspect‑oriented. To create this environment our Senior Engineers need to embrace sharing their knowledge and skills with others, and they need to keep an open mind – we’d love to hear some examples of mentoring, coaching and growing team members. Maybe you will have written some blog posts about your discipline, or perhaps even delivered a talk or two. Skills, Knowledge & Expertise Essential Skills
