Are you driven and ready for an exciting opportunity which will make a real impact? This is a challenging and fulfilling role that requires pace, impact, sensitivity, and compassion.
The multidisciplinary teams within IBCA’s Digital Service Directorate are organised around delivering our mission and priorities:
- To create a user-centred, empathetic end-to-end service at the heart of IBCA;
- To provide the means of paying compensation to those eligible;
- To iterate our service through starting small and scaling fast, through a test and learn approach.
A rare opportunity to apply and embed DevSecOps and Agile engineering methodologies across the breadth of a public service making a real difference. Joining IBCA early in the service lifecycle allows the Lead DevOps Engineer to provide technical leadership, build capability, and ensure platform integrity.
Opportunities to move to the new Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). At the moment all IBCA roles are hosted by Cabinet Office within the Civil Service. However, once IBCA becomes operational, it is anticipated that most of these roles will transfer to IBCA, which is a new Arms Length Body (ALB) separate from the Cabinet Office. Roles that transfer to IBCA from Cabinet Office will maintain the same or substantially the same terms and conditions of employment that are overall no less favourable. It is anticipated that employees who move from Cabinet Office to IBCA will be able to continue to participate in the Civil Service Pension arrangements with no break in their pensionable service. Roles commencing after IBCA has become operational will be with IBCA itself on similar terms and conditions. All successful candidates will receive full details of the terms and conditions of employment for their role with their formal job offer.
Please note that the mission of IBCA means that it is likely to be operational for a period of approximately 5 to 7 years. When IBCA’s work begins to wind down, IBCA employees will receive support and practical guidance to find a new role, whether in the Civil Service, another Arms Length Body (ALB), or an external employer.
IBCA’s Lead DevOps Engineer will work with senior stakeholders to define, maintain and own the platform strategy and full life cycle of a cloud-based platforms and applications from designing, through deployment to supporting and enabling value release teams.
A key part of this role will be to ensure that the technical, delivery and operations impacts of platform design decisions are aligned to the technology strategy and understood by the appropriate stakeholders. To be successful, you will also need to collaborate effectively in a fast paced, transparent, multi-discipline environment.
You will be responsible for underpinning best in class development processes including; managing CI/CD tools and environments, maintaining engineering standards and automating systems to achieve quality outcomes and reduce tech debt. You’ll be an expert voice in releasing value early through automation, infrastructure-as-code, containerisation and integration.
We are looking for someone who can act as a technical platform owner, setting vision and goals for its development and iteration. You will strive to deliver better outcomes and value for money by encouraging and embedding a culture of continuous improvement. Your leadership skills will be used to lead a high performing engineering team, ensuring that solutions are delivered on time, to agreed quality standards, and are operating in an open and collaborative manner. As a leader within the Digital directorate, you will communicate a clear strategy, inspire others and establish a culture that individuals feel proud to be a part of.
Understanding GDS Service Standards for building great public services is desirable.
