Acre is rebuilding the UK’s £1.4 trillion mortgage market from the ground up, with a completely new, end-to-end management system for mortgages.
Our platform cuts out the unnecessary admin, pain and friction from buying a home. We're covering the entire journey, from figuring out what you can borrow, to getting your keys. We're guided both by the voice of real home buyers and by our close relationships with brokers, lenders and insurers.
Following a hugely successful 2023, where we proudly facilitated over £10 billion in mortgages for over 100,000 homebuyers, we are continuing to onboard some huge names in the mortgage industry and are looking to expand our team.
The role
We are looking for a Graduate DevOps Engineer that wants to help ensure our platform for homebuying is always available and secure. Your role will be to work closely with the broader team to help ensure our CI pipelines are smooth, efficient, and ensure quality; our production environment is performant, stable and secure; and we have an exceptional degree of insight and transparency into our operational environment.
Your approach to the role should be that no task is done twice.
What you’ll be doing
As a key member of the engineering team you will be responsible for the implementation and testing of non-functional aspects of our platform such as security, performance and scaling that delivers our product to users, keeps it secure and helps us understand its performance in the real world.
You will be involved in our full software development life cycle; you will be expected to quickly switch between tasks and work with the frontend and backend engineering teams to ensure they are able to efficiently deliver software while meeting our software quality and security benchmarks.
