Crynodeb
Do you want to transform the way software is built, deployed, and run in the Scottish Government? Do you want to enable the delivery of better technology to serve the people of Scotland?
The newly created Platform Engineering team is initially responsible for the development and operation of the platform supporting the mygovscot Digital Identity Service. It will later broaden its scope to the provision of an Internal Developer Platform to enable the wider Digital Directorate software engineering team, and potentially teams across the Scottish Government.
In this role you would be the line manager for the team providing both people and technical leadership, enabling the team to deliver against its roadmap. You will be instrumental in building platform engineering capability within the team and collaborating across the division to best enable other engineering teams.
Technology Stack
The team currently uses Kubernetes (EKS) and AWS. AWS technologies include CloudFormation using Python, Lamda, DynamoDB, Kinesis Data Streams, S3, CloudFront, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Athena, Grafana and Prometheus. Gitlab is used for CI/CD. The team also works with Helm charts, VPNs, backup processes, and patching processes with a very strong emphasis on security.
The platform team will be initially supporting teams that develop applications using Java and JavaScript/Typescript. As the team’s scope broadens, additionally technologies are likely to be added such as GitHub and Azure.
