Job Description

Oak provides school teachers and pupils with the highest quality curriculum and lesson resources across all subjects and age groups. Our infrastructure makes use of Cloud based SaaS and serverless technologies to deliver educational resources via our fast and highly available website.

We are in the process of rebuilding our Infrastructure using Terraform to empower our development teams and support our ambitious plans for the future. We are looking for someone to join the engineering team for 3 months from January to work with our Infrastructure engineer to improve the management of our Google Cloud deployments.

You will be working on projects to either bring existing resources under Terraform control or refactoring existing Terraform workspaces.

We're looking for the following:

  • Capable of building Infrastructure with Terraform, including an understanding of how to refactor HCL and manage state files.

  • Substantial experience building web services in the Cloud.

Knowledge of the following technologies is beneficial but not required:

  • Google Cloud, particularly serverless (Cloud Run/Functions), IAM, Cloud Storage and Cloud SQL

  • Networking basics

  • Cloudflare

  • Git/GitHub

Next Steps

You’ll upload your CV and answer some questions – a few quick admin ones and two discipline-related ones. After the job closes, your answers will go through our sifting process: all answers will be anonymised, randomised and then reviewed.

If you are shortlisted, we’ll invite you to an interview remotely over Zoom. 

We are aiming to hold interviews shortly after the role closes.

We are experiencing really good responses to our job adverts. This may mean that we close the role early so if you are considering applying then please get your application in early to avoid missing out.

Ideally the successful candidate will be able to start ASAP.
