DevOps Engineer

About us

We use the latest behavioural science to transform the performance of companies and the lives of people who work in them. But don't take our word for it. Since we started MindGym, we've partnered with over half the FTSE 100 and S&P 100, equipping them with an all-important human advantage.

We're growing rapidly and have successfully floated on the London Stock Exchange. This is just the start. We have a bold vision to redefine how companies and individuals flourish, and so disrupt the market for behavioural change.

MindGym was born around a kitchen table in 2000. Since those early chain-tea-drinking sessions, we've worked with most of the world's top 500 companies. We've inspired and transformed the performance of over three million people. And we've published four books, including an international best-seller. We've left the kitchen table, but we've never lost our hunger.

The Job

The technology team in Mind Gym is entering a period of growth. We are working on building out a technology platform build that will transform the business. As a full stack engineer you will be responsible for shaping and implementing new features across a distributed NodeJS, TypeScript and React platform.

A typical day might include:

• Working as part of a cross functional "mission team" to drive DevOps practices, speed up our delivery and drive infrastructure changes.
• Getting involved with normal agile ceremonies that prepare, co-ordinate and reflect on the team's throughput.
• Running, operating and caring for the platform that we build.
• Tracking and improving software delivery performance with the "four key metrics"
• Following great engineering practices with immutable infrastructure as code, short lead-time pipelines and detailed telemetry.
• Helping us build a generative team culture with high co-operation, shared risks, encouraged bridging and blame free post-mortems
