The Opportunity
Would you like to help create a brand-new engineering organisation?

Whatever your aspirations, we’re trying to create the best engineering consultancy in the UK and looking for brilliant engineers to be part of the journey.
About DMW Engineering
DMW helps organisations solve their biggest, most exciting engineering problems. We’ve created banks from scratch on Kubernetes and AWS, built streaming analytics solutions that protect the country and built platforms to enable whole organisations to move to AWS and Azure, and everything in between. We do all this in a work environment where regular social events, inclusivity and an ego-free culture mean we’ve been officially voted a Great Place to Work for five years in a row.
We’re not interested in cutting corners and believe in helping our clients to make the right choice for the long-term. We draw on our reputation for outstanding delivery to allow our engineers to do the right thing for our clients, and not necessarily the easy thing. Innovation is in our DNA, and we encourage our engineers and consultants to work together to rethink conventional wisdom on how problems should be solved.
Here’s what you will do (Not all of it, but some of the important stuff!)
- Solve the problems others cannot
- Spend a day a week working on a combination of internal products and your own development
- Create platforms based around a modern, cloud-native tech stack:
- Java 8+ and Kotlin
- Python
- AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- Dataiku
- And more
Requirements
Do you have the essentials?
- Demonstrable experience in automating operations tasks with one or more scripting languages
- Experience creating and/or maintaining production software delivery pipelines using common CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins, GoCD, CircleCI)
- Experience working with one of the main cloud providers (AWS, Azure or Google)
- Have a drive for self-improvement and learning, including learning new programming languages
- Approach solving problems pragmatically
It would be great if you had these desirable skills
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Cloudformation)
- Experience supporting and operating production systems
- Familiarity with configuration management tooling (e.g. Ansible)
- Python coding skills
