DevOps | DevOps Engineer - Senior / Junior at Ten Group

Description

Overview

Our core business solutions are provided using a number of python and .net applications. For the most part they are dockerised and deployed on Kubernetes, with a couple of services running on ECS and AWS Lambda. They use various backing services including Postgres DB, Elasticsearch, MemCache et al. The legacy application is hosted on-prem in a datacentre which is managed by a different team. We are actively rebuilding our legacy pieces from scratch and these are all on AWS.

We are currently expanding our Tech team in order to help us work on exciting upcoming challenges such as creating an intuitive front end to support our lifestyle mangers globally, integrating with chat and telephony; extending our multi-tenanted member-facing website and extending our connections into external suppliers. Everything is hosted on our dedicated environments supported by a dedicated DevOps & infrastructure team.

You’ll be a good fit for the challenge ahead if:

• You want to join a team with an ambitious roadmap

• You’re excited about working with a team that is core to our future growth

• You believe in agile methodologies and love collaborations

• You can show us commits in Git, talk us through live projects, and point us in the direction of things you’ve tried

• You enjoy contributing to functional and technical design

Benefits

Our people are at the heart of the business and we have a culture of recognition and reward - both through regular appraisals but also annual Extra Mile Awards where we celebrate those who have gone that extra mile in their role. We also encourage all our staff to incorporate their aspirations and interests into their career at Ten and we are there every step of the way in supporting development.

All our employees also enjoy a range of benefits regardless of where they are based. Not only do we offer a remote work option, but employees also get 3 extra days of annual leave in their third year and an extra month of every 5 years. In line with these milestone lengths of service, we also operate a Ten Loyalty Reward program – this is a bonus (although we prefer to refer to this as ‘extra spending money’) that is awarded once these milestones are reached. The thinking behind the program is that not only does it recognise and reward commitment and loyalty to the business, but it can also be used to fund the adventures to be had during sabbaticals – this is the main intention and driving force behind the program. We want to give our people extra spending money so that they can truly enjoy their sabbaticals.

Other benefits that Ten offer, specific to the South Africa office, range between access to ICAS Employee Health and Wellness (EHWP) services which are confidential and free for all employees to use, all the way through to various discounts on both travel and entertainment events (the latter is of course available regardless of location). There are also lots of social events throughout the year as well as a break-out room where employees can relax (or, if they wish, play one of the numerous games we provide!) whilst enjoying our latest fruit drop.

We also offer a company contribution towards medical aid, transport home for those working a late shift (applies to those who don't have a car) and, one of our more popular perks, working holiday opportunities with the ability to work from any of our 20+ offices without taking annual leave.
