The Senior DevOps Engineer will be a vital part of the DevOps team, reporting to the DevOps Lead and be working alongside a diverse mix of software developers, client side developers and QA engineers. You will be responsible for building, improving and maintaining the software infrastructure enabling Camelot Global’s lottery services to be deployed, run and operated from development to production to a growing number of lottery operators.

You’ll be finding ways to automate manual processes, streamline existing ones and scale out services to more users and regions without increasing the support and maintenance load. You’ll make data driven decisions and be adding instrumentation and monitoring to gather the data you need and make it available to the rest of the team.

You will be based at our Development Centre in Holborn, central London, but will be expected to travel up to visit Camelot’s HQ in Watford from time to time as well as a few trips a year to our Athens development centre and possible client sites around Europe.
