Candidate Description

This role would suit someone who has experience working in an Agile environment, for example within a SCRUM team, with software engineering experience focussed on web technologies and containerisation - Java, Docker, Spring, Kubernetes, Canvas/Pivotal PaaS - and with a heavy focus on automation and CI/CD practises.

Having demonstrable experience of software architecture and design and some experience in developing and deploying software on a Cloud Service Provider - AWS and/or GCP would be a plus, as well as engineering experience covering existing B2C IDAM services - Siteminder, iCAP, Directory and Profile.
