Senior Software Engineer

Insight Global • Buffalo Grove, IL • 10h ago

Job Description

Insight Global's client is looking for a consultant who has a blend of software engineering and devops for their team. They will be working on the backend, creating the pipelines, all the flow, if the app dev team makes changes, they will do all the automation. Their "customers" are the app dev teams, and the more self service and automation they are able to bring to them, the more value that brings to them.

-The role focuses on backend applications within the DevOps organization.

-Responsibilities include:

Building DevOps pipelines.

-Automating the flow from code changes to deployment.

-Building automations to improve user experience for app dev teams (the direct customers).

-Increasing self-service capabilities to add value and reduce manual work

-This team wants to build a culture where team members take ownership of their areas, ensuring they meet expectations and assist other engineers.

-A current challenge is that people complete tasks and move on, rather than taking ownership. The goal is to shift towards an ownership-based model.

-Looking for someone who can ramp up quickly and work independently, which is why they are looking for a senior-level candidate.

-Looking for someone who can help other engineers, share knowledge, and prevent reliance on a single person for critical information. They want to avoid a situation where "if he goes for vacation, okay, nobody can do anything."
