Although trading is our game, our technology helps us to achieve our goals. Our IT team works closely with trading to help guide and drive our business and therefore is an integral contributor to our success.

Our practices and tools are continually evolving and we're constantly looking for ways to make delivering our software faster, safer, and more efficient. What you'll do This role sits within a newly created team that will champion increased agility and time to market, working with our many product teams to optimise their software delivery process and tools.

You deploy complex, integrated software to production multiple times per day without breaking a sweat. You've been involved in medium-large development organisations practicing continuous delivery (and seen some that aren't).
