Associate DevOps Engineer (Scotland Remote)

Ivanti is looking for an Associate DevOps Engineer to join our DevOps team in Scotland working remotely. The successful candidate will join a well-established team and play a pivotal role in our mission to enable product development to release and host software effectively and efficiently.

Who we are

Ivanti is a leading provider of security and service management software. We provide solutions primarily targeted at IT departments within medium to large organizations to help them securely manage their IT infrastructure and service their clients.

Our company history is one of mergers and acquisitions which means we have dozens of products that we develop, maintain, and market, offering you lots of opportunities to grow.

Immediately you’ll be focused on our Ivanti Neurons for MDM product. This product is written in Java with a Postgres database and a JS framework frontend. It leverages technologies to enable high availability, scale, and reporting such as Kafka, Istio, and ElasticSearch. We leverage Kubernetes to host the product in the cloud.

Our team leverages the public cloud catalogue primarily using Azure to provide a platform for our applications to run on. We also facilitate the deployment and observation of the applications using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and New Relic.
