Are you interested in using your knowledge and skills in software development to take the lead in a key support role within the development team? Are you an enthusiastic and driven individual with a desire to be part of an Application/Platform Development team delivering high quality services to support development activity on a range of business critical systems?

Using a combination of different technologies, you will be responsible for a range of non-development activities required to support software development work within the team. Initially this will involve working with Technical Leads and Operational Leads to introduce new processes within the team. The role will include maintenance of non-production environments ensuring consistency across the ‘route to live’, and non-production deployments required during the development phase. You will work with other IT teams to support maintenance of production environments and to carry out production deployments.

You will use skills and knowledge gained in a software development environment to support the development of applications using a range of technologies. You will work effectively, aligned to the development lifecycle ensuring effective communication and consultation with stakeholders and customers throughout the development process.

Working in a complex environment, your work as a Systems Engineer will involve extensive documentation in line with standard operating procedures to ensure alignment with industry best practice, IT standards, and regulatory compliance. As an experienced member of the team you will be responsible for supporting, training, coaching and mentoring colleagues as required.
