MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we've come a long way since. Today we're a 400 + strong team (we're thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes - from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair. Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you'll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO. We're making new and exciting things - and we could really do with your help. Our Architecture team at MOO is comprised of skilled professionals from a variety of backgrounds, all dedicated to shaping the technological future of MOO.

Cross-Team Collaboration: you have the ability to work across multiple teams and many domains, and are closely involved with the our test guild. Establishing Best Practices and Tooling: you'll lead the establishing of best practices for the new platform, and determine the right tooling. About you: You have a modern SDET background, and are excited about helping lead the test approaches to our greenfield project You are experienced in establishing and evolving the Automation Architecture You have a DevOps mindset and are comfortable around pipelines You have expert knowledge and experience in testing approaches and test automation, in the frontend, backend and platform level You have great knowledge and interest in observability practises You are a self-starter capable of picking up and introducing new technologies and concepts You are comfortable managing your own time You are personable, have an open attitude and good general communication skills You are comfortable writing technical & non-technical documentation Nice to have: Expertise in "Data Engineering" domain would be an advantageous skill for the candidate, but not required. What's it like to work at MOO? MOO's the kind of workplace where you can really be yourself. Dye your hair purple. Hit the sofa with your laptop. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and happy at work. We want to help you grow in your career and set you up for success - while also recognising the importance of a healthy work/life balance. That's why we offer 25 days holiday rising by one day for each year here (for 5 years), a matched pension scheme, MOO's share option scheme, and paid parental leave.

Role & Purpose BAE Systems' DataBridge 6 is a market leading Lawful Intercept (LI) solution for deployment within a CSP's network. Communications Service Providers (CSPs) are in the spotlight like never before. As terrorists and organised criminals make increasing use of social media and smartphones to facilitate their crimes and activities, the data they generate - which is transported by CSPs - is of huge value to Law Enforcement and National Security Agencies. It now forms a key element in their efforts to monitor threats, detect crimes and investigate and prosecute criminals. The DataBridge team requires a DevOps engineer to work on the design build, test and deployment of our solution into our customers' networks. This will involve high levels of interaction with internal and possibly external stakeholders, an amount of autonomy in finding the solutions to complex problems, and strong analytical skills. What will you be doing? Working within a large sized ( 40) multi-disciplinary team, in a smaller team unit focused on project delivery. Working alongside System Engineers and customers to understand system requirements, and design and configure DataBridge solutions matching those requirements. Deployment and testing of DataBridge solutions. Customer support, fault investigation and troubleshooting. What are we looking for? A broad technical background and knowledge in the essential skills. Experience with designing and deploying production systems. Methods of business continuity, disaster proofing, load balancing, data replication/backup and HA. Strong background on the Linux command line and configuration of core Linux system services. Strong knowledge of networking, common protocols, telecommunications networking, OSI model and traffic analysis. Strong experience with virtualization and orchestration technologies (for example VMWare, Openstack, AWS). A highly motivated problem-solver with a strong desire to approach a problem in a hands-on, practical manner. Excellent team working abilities. Someone who can think on their feet and work in a fast paced environment. An understanding of the principles of version control and release management. Ideally with experience of a version control tool such as Git or Perforce. Essential Ansible. Git. Linux (ideally CentOS). Good problem solving skills. Basic level of scripting in Bash, Python. Desirable Databases: MySQL, InfluxDB. Grafana. Statistics monitoring solutions such as ELK, TICK stacks. Continuous Integration: Git, Jenkins. Hypervisors/"Clouds": AWS, VMWare. Containers: Docker. Orchestration/IaC & Configuration Management/CCA: CDK, Ansible. Understanding of REST APIs. Life at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence We are embracing Hybrid Working.
