Version 1 has an exciting role for a dynamic and enthusiastic AWS cloud and infrastructure consultant who enjoys working with customers and internal staff alike. You will be leader and superb communicator who can deliver excellence in both project and support work. Based within our Cloud consulting team, this role is responsible for providing Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Linux / Unix systems consulting services, including technical presales, scoping, architecture, design, build and deployment of engineering solutions. The role is customer facing, and will entail liaising with customers to enhance current systems, plan and deliver projects, and implement new solutions. This particular role will entail development of innovative solutions in cloud databases. Many of our clients are requesting that their new developments be in cloud-scale relational databases, others are requesting our assistance in migration of their existing systems to these types of databases.
We are looking for self-starters who can take code artefacts in existing relational procedural code – e.g. T-SQL, PL/SQL and migrate to databases such as PostgreSQL without losing any functionality. You must also be able to, where necessary, migrate data elements as well. A reasonable grounding in other development environments, e.g. Java, Python etc. is extremely useful but the primary task here will be in helping to lead and build the space in the company in open source database technologies. Used to Agile and DevOps, and a fast pace, you will thrive in a busy environment. While large amounts of this role will be deep in the code working out the right answer, you MUST be able to operate in a confident, customer facing fashion that will sell the customer on your vision of the system.
The ideal candidate should be a self-starter looking to join a fast paced, multi-discipline team that provides project, customer and internal support at Version 1 and will have 7+ years’ experience in designing, building and supporting front line Linux / Unix / AWS environments with at least 2 years architectural experience. In particular technical knowledge and practitioner experience in AWS is essential. A summary of the suitable candidate is as follows.
