Job Description
The DevOps Engineer role is a key function within OpenBet. The DevOps team encompasses two main workstreams: Pipeline and Infrastructure Virtualisation.
You will contribute to different aspects of the software delivery pipeline, supporting the software engineering processes as well as the delivery to production environments. You will be implementing and enhancing our deployment and operational management tooling, as well as building infrastructure as code. You might also work on the SRE tooling that other teams will utilise to monitor the systems.
The Sportsbook Product Division is adopting new technologies and architectural principles, as well as approaches to delivery, deployment, scalability and monitoring. The successful candidate is expected to be a strong technologist, with both software engineering and technical operations backgrounds.
The DevOps team is focused primarily on two pillars:
Delivering technical solutions for improving the overall quality of product build, deployments, monitoring and alerting, with emphasis on NFRs (resilience, stability, scalability, security...)
As a member of the team, you will:
- Work within one of the DevOps workstreams, in close collaboration with the Software Engineering teams and the Delivery teams.

- Implement and evolve our CI / CD strategy and the tools to support it in collaboration with the wider Engineering and QA teams.
- Help ensure security considerations are robustly incorporated into Sportsbook Product Engineering deliverables from day one.
- Participate in defining and prioritising a backlog of work for the team.
