Would you like to be part of a growing engineering capability in a people-centric organisation? Or perhaps work in an open and collaborative learning environment? Are you passionate about technology, people and developing your coding skills? We have got all this and more. Whatever your aspirations, we're looking for engineers to be part of an exceptional technology capability, providing dedicated engineering capacity for our clients.

At Credera, we work with a range of clients and help them to level-up their engineering capabilities in a partnership model. Through our Delivery Centre, we help them build microservices architectures, develop AI and machine learning capabilities and operate cloud infrastructure. As part of the Delivery Centre team, you'll collaborate with architects, technology consultants and client stakeholders, giving you a chance to hone your skills across the latest technologies, development and operational practices, and cloud platforms, whilst growing your career. The central hub for this position is in Newcastle but we welcome applicants from across the North-East.

• As a senior Azure DevOps Engineer in Credera's Delivery Centre capability, you'll work as part of a close-knit team supporting one of our long-term client partnerships alongside architects, support engineers, and delivery leaders.

Building on Credera's reputation for engineering excellence, you'll have a chance to learn from a team of experts who can help you develop into a future technical leader.
• Consultancy to us is about customer delivery first, carried out by technically excellent people with a learning mindset.

• The ability to lead a significant area of work to agreed time and quality with minimal direction, breaking it down and delivering it through a small team as well as with your own hands, escalating blockers promptly while proposing practical solutions

• Experience migrating or re-hosting existing workloads into Azure, including networking and hybrid connectivity.
• Experience supporting and operating production systems.
• Exposure to containerisation and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).

• We are part of the OPM Group of Companies, a division of Omnicom Group Inc. Credera will never ask for money up front and will not use apps such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Google Hangouts for communicating with you.

• Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.
