• DevOps, testing, deployment, monitoring, incident resolution, automated standard service requests and continuous improvement in agile delivery teams, including squad-based projects such as "Lead in Data" and "Lead in Cloud"

Through your rotations, you will increase your IT stack and business knowledge, develop competence across a range of technologies and build a strong understanding of different working cultures. You may also have the opportunity to complete an optional rotation in a business-facing or international role, helping you build a well-rounded understanding of the organisation and its global energy trading activities.
