About the team 

Our Dev Experience team is building tools and processes that help our engineers get coding and deployment done with the minimum amount of fuss whilst ticking the safety, regulatory and compliance boxes we need.

We are committed to a 100% Infrastructure-as-Code approach to infrastructure builds using Terraform and currently deploy to AWS. We also follow the GitOps model of application deployment and use tools such as ArgoCD, Helm and Crossplane to facilitate this approach.

As part of the wider Cloud Infrastructure team, you will work closely with other cloud engineers to make this model for deploying and managing services usable for Tide. You’ll also work closely with our Information Security team to ensure we meet and exceed our regulatory obligations.
