About Rotageek
Rotageek started as a small side project when our CEO – an A&E doctor – wanted to improve scheduling in his hospital department. Today, we’re reinventing how employees are scheduled by helping organisations ditch manual paper & excel based methods in favour of sleek, intelligent, and interactive digital rotas.
Our unique approach to workforce management helps employees improve their work-life balance by giving them more ownership over their hours while decreasing operational costs and simplifying processes for their employers. We use intelligent technology to ensure the right staff are available to meet complex demand considerations through rotas which are simple to create, modify, and distribute.
The role
We’re looking for someone who will work closely with our Tech team to build the future of digital scheduling. Rotageek is focused on developing services and microservices that communicate through clean interface layers to deliver a stable and agile scheduling platform. You have the flexibility to work on web apps, mobile apps, integrations, and API development.
We utilise Azure and AWS and have multiple production and test environments. We’re very keen on automating infrastructure creation and changes to infrastructure alongside deployments to the platform. As a DevOps engineer at Rotageek you will be taking ownership of the infrastructure and the deployment pipelines. We release to production multiple times a day, so automation is really important to us.
We’re a little obsessive about using the most appropriate tech to solve our problems, so there’s always an opportunity to learn new skills. Our front-end was recently rebuilt using React. In the back-end we use a mix of NoSQL and SQL depending on the use case. We’re in the process of moving to asynchronous messaging-based architecture so there’s a real opportunity to get involved in architecture design.
