ABOUT YOU

A natural leader who cares about the culture as much as the servers. You have experience with AWS (preferred) or another comparable cloud. You're comfortable scripting, automating, and improving alongside the team. You are curious, and like to ask lots of questions, to learn new skills, and work with different stacks. You think three moves ahead and make decisions that we won't regret this time next year.

You like to get things done and are willing to jump in to help. You crave autonomy and opportunity for growth and are happy to be client-facing from time-to-time. You want to help us build our DevOps capabilities, and want to grow to be a key figure in the organisation.

So, what will you actually be doing?

Within your first 30 days

• You'll be helping a small product team with their infrastructure, responsible for automating, terraforming, CI/CDing and everything in between. You'll be expected to collaborate with the product manager and development team to produce infrastructure as code and to improve automation and processes. This will include:
• Using Terraform to automate cloud deployments
• Working with the engineering team to help improve the architecture of products
• Creating and improving CI/CD pipelines
• Improving team performance by evangelising DevOps and lean principles
• Fixing things
• Helping bake in quality
• Designing observability and monitoring solutions

You'll have regular catchups with the head of engineering and your peers to ask for feedback and help on anything and everything.

• You'll complete a Career Development Plan with your line manager to understand where you are in your career journey and to set learning and development targets.
• You'll participate in one engineering practise meeting.
• You'll attend four all-hands meetings, and so will have (at least virtually) met everyone at the company and will start to feel comfortable with your place in it.
• You'll eat tasty food at a new joiner's lunch with the CEO.

Within 90 days

• You'll be working with our web3 and ML experts to encourage best deployment practices, and start gathering some knowledge about our web3 projects yourself.
• You'll be helping to shape our processes, and improve how we work

After 6 months

• You'll have automated an entire project and will be off automating the automating
• You'll support senior team members in architecting their infrastructure
• You'll have of explained the importance of lean methodology to the whole company

After 1 year

• Once you've been around for a while (and we hire some juniors) you'll be asked to mentor newer engineers
• You'll have the opportunity to be part of Discovery workshops and work with product managers to help architect solutions.
• You'll have a platform to shape MxT's engineering culture, sharing DevOps principles

Haven't done everything listed in the 'first 30 days' category yet??Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At MxT we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with this job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.

ABOUT US

We're a bit of an anomaly: a startup tech consulting company backed by an established law firm. The 'startup' part means there's a lot of room for employee autonomy and opportunity to help design the company, whereas the 'law firm' part is why we have nice benefits, pretty conference rooms, and a runway to succeed.

We specialise in emerging tech, and we're on a pretty hefty mission to change the face of consultancy, putting meaning behind digital transformation by delivering experiences for customers that create value and impact. That also means our culture really cares about people, not just profit, and definitely not just utilisation.

Our law firm origins allow us to combine leading business, tech, and legal expertise. That tends to look like building software that's legally complex… but we go for the interesting stuff, which is why we often end up in Web3, Metaverse, or Data Science worlds.

We work with a variety of sizes of organisations, from funded startups to large companies to government agencies, but always try to deliver value in an agile manner.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Hybrid, with flexible hours. We have a great office just outside the Holborn tube station that we ask you to come into twice a week.This includes team days several times a month, away days twice a year, and whenever we run in-person client workshops. Although we're in a 'hold on we're blasting off' phase of growth, we don't ask our people to work taxing hours unless a project is in absolute crunch time.

About The Mishcon de Reya Group

The Mishcon de Reya Group is an independent international professional service business with law at its heart, employing over 1450 people with close to 670 lawyers. It includes the law firm Mishcon de Reya LLP and a collection of leading consultancy businesses that complement the firm's legal services. We have grown rapidly in recent years, showing more than 40% revenue growth in the past five years alone.

Based in London, Cambridge, Oxford, and Singapore, with an association with Karas So LLP in Hong Kong, the firm services an international community of clients and provides advice in situations where the constraints of geography often do not apply. The work we undertake is cross-border, multi-jurisdictional and complex, spanning six core practice areas: Corporate; Dispute Resolution; Employment; Innovation; Private; and Real Estate.

As of 1 January 2023, Mishcon de Reya and Taylor Vinters merged. The merger delivers on both firms' strategies to support the innovation economy and accelerate our growing share of the technology, media and life-sciences legal and consultancy services market in the UK and in key international innovation hubs globally.

In times of such far-reaching and profound change we want to be the law firm that enables our clients - and our own people - to shape the world's possibilities. We are here to help our clients benefit from new economies, new geographic centres of wealth, the new global movement of people and capital, and the impact of new technologies and new knowledge.

Our purpose remains rooted in our founding values. We take pride in the diverse range of people who make up the firm and are proactive in driving change and continuous improvement across the spectrum of equality, diversity and inclusion. Mishcon Academy, our in-house place of learning, development and new thinking for our people, clients and contacts and our innovative impact strategy, including a commitment to be a net zero carbon business, also play a central strategic role in the direction of the firm. In 2020 we launched Mishcon Purpose, a first-of-its-kind sustainability practice providing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) advice and purpose-driven insight to clients.

The Mishcon de Reya Group comprises standalone businesses MDR Brand Management , MDR Cyber, MDR Discover, MDR Mayfair (in London, Singapore and Dubai) and MDRx. Complementary to Mishcon de Reya's core areas of work, each is led by best in class professionals recruited from a variety of non-legal industries and sectors.

We strive to create a fully diverse and inclusive workplace where all our people are empowered to fulfil their potential. We are proud of our agile working culture and are always happy to talk flexible working.
