Dev Ops IY opportunity at BT Bristol

Posted on by

I received this from an alumni of the department from quite a few years ago:

1x IY placement opportunity at BT in Bristol within my team. Here is the link:

https://jobs.bt.com/job-invite/25270?external=true

The job title is “Full-Stack DevOps Engineer”. Quite a mouthful, but in reality it’s a full-stack development position with a hint of DevOps (at this level anyway). We encourage everyone to specialise in at least one area of “Ops” in addition to the main focus on “Dev” (we include testing in dev) – though for an IP this is only an option. This includes:

Application monitoring (Dynatrace)
Automation pipelines (we use Jenkins currently)
Containerization (we use Docker)
Service management (using ServiceNow)
Change management
User support
Infrastructure as Code

The placement would last 11 months and start September 2024. The student would need to be on track for a 2.1 or higher degree classification.

I have attached a document explaining the application process. I have also attached more info about the job.

Should the individual perform well, we would be able to fast-track them straight to the final interview for the BT grad scheme. So no need to go through the whole application process again – online assessment, video assessment and the assessment centre are skipped.
