About Made Tech
At Made Tech we want to positively impact the future of the country by using technology to improve society, for everyone. We want to empower the public sector to deliver and continuously improve digital services that are user-centric, data-driven and freed from legacy technology. We believe the best way to achieve this is to embrace cloud technology while working in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment.
Based within the Cloud & Engineering Practice, our Senior Cloud Engineers help public sector organisations to deliver digital services that are highly available, reliable, resilient and secure. They are software engineers who tend to focus more on the successful deployment and operations of services than on functional development. They are adaptable and comfortable covering a range of disciplines such as DevOps, SRE and infrastructure architecture.
We expect our cloud engineers to have a background in and thorough understanding of software engineering. You will keep abreast of emerging technologies and be able to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary software delivery environment.
