Your role....
Will see you become a key part of one of the twelve or so teams, each made up of 3-6 people, that make up our development department. The development team is responsible for developing and operating Instaclustr’s management platform, which handles things like: provisioning infrastructure, securely deploying and configuring open-source applications, monitoring, alerting and logging. We’re well organised, but our environment is complex, and the work is technical, so the work is varied and exciting.
You'll work closely with your team lead to help organise the team's activities and will play an important role in mentoring and developing more junior team members, while having plenty of time to do your own development work. You’ll sometimes lead more complex development tasks involving multiple people. Your team lead will look to you as their most capable team member and will depend on you for input and advice on many areas of the team's operation.
