Working environment

You’ll be working with the CI/CD team of ICS: the IT Value Chain Team (CI/CD) is a small team of engineers & coaches with the goal of making development teams’ lives better and more fun by increasing the speed and quality of code deployments. They do so by offering CI/CD and DevOps related tooling, help and advice building deployment pipelines, experiment with new technologies and much more.

We like to keep things informal and prefer working together on things via pairing or mobbing; everything that can be automated, we try to automate. And we’re always looking for that next improvement! Humour, honesty and the will to improve are qualities most appreciated within our team.

Your profile

You’ve spent every waking moment trying to automate yourself out of a job, you just haven’t quite gotten there yet. You talk the talk & walk the walk.

You do what is necessary to achieve results, without being constrained by a traditional division of roles, tasks, development methodologies, or other sacred cows. You adapt your coaching style to the situation. Depending on conditions, you can take charge directly, and convince management or other teams of the way to go.
