• Deputise for Head of Engineering and take on other general responsibilities as required.

Knowledge, skills and experience

• 2+ years experience leading the continuous improvement of secure cloud infrastructure with an emphasis on “serverless” - e.g. cloud functions, managed container hosting and hosted database services.

• 2+ years experience hosting secure web applications and APIs on cloud infrastructure.

• Strong working knowledge of cloud networking and security considerations and technologies including caching, edge computing, SSL, load balancers and virtual networks.

• Familiar with tools and techniques for monitoring and observing distributed cloud infrastructure to ensure that problems can be spotted, diagnosed and resolved quickly. 

The successful candidate will have a desire to contribute in all areas to ensure Oak is successful.
