Based in the Corporate Technology function, the DevOps tooling support service enables the delivery of operational excellence across the organisation by providing and developing a suite of SaaS-based software development and collaboration tooling.
You will work within the IT Asset Management (ITAM) team, which is a small, collaborative group. Initially, you will take on the role of senior technical administrator for the tooling stack, working closely with a technical lead, product manager, and other system administrators.
Your primary focus will be on supporting and developing our DevOps tooling stack as advertised here. To provide both variety for you and resilience for the team, responsibilities will rotate between tooling support and Software Asset Management-related duties. As such you will eventually also become involved in broader team activities such as improving the software request process, software licence reclamation, licence auditing and working with our enterprise software asset management tooling.
Your key duties:
Act as the primary technical contact for tools such as GitHub, Jira, Confluence, LucidSuite, IntelliJ, and associated integrations, ensuring that these services are secure, reliable, and aligned with organisational standards
Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex issues across the DevOps tooling portfolio, ensuring timely resolution of incidents and problems.
Lead on the preparation and implementation of changes to enhance the capabilities of the portfolio, ensuring adherence to Met Office change management standards.
Guide and support junior colleagues, fostering knowledge sharing and professional development, coordinate workload distribution and act as escalation point for technical queries.
