The team lead role will also involve running one to ones, identification of training needs, general line management activities and leading the team in driving improvements in the SaaS support area.

• Manage relationships with external vendors, ensuring good delivery and adherence to service level agreements (SLAs).

You Have:

• Experience leading a team and setting goals.
• Understanding of AWS lambdas and using CloudWatch to monitor them.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (understanding required rather than needing to build them).
• Experience managing and resolving critical incidents. Proficiency in incident response processes, incident command systems, and post-incident reviews to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Intermediate level knowledge to configure and administer the users, repositories, integrations, security of Version Control Systems (GitHub, Bitbucket).
• Intermediate level knowledge to administer Jira and Confluence.
