Release and Incident Manager

Join to apply for the Release and Incident Manager role at Constantinople.

Constantinople is the first of its kind: an all-in-one software and operational platform for banks. We provide our banking clients with a cloud-native infrastructure to host and manage their customers. We offer a comprehensive suite of banking products, together with all operational services needed to run a bank efficiently.

Constantinople's state-of-the-art platform eliminates the need for expensive infrastructure, and replaces manual operational and compliance processes with automation at scale. By removing the operational complexity of banking, Constantinople enables its clients to focus on its customers and the business of banking.

The IT Service Management Organisation is responsible for managing IT Operations and releases from the Incident and change management process to client reporting on the state of the platform. As we scale from a single banking client to operating multiple banks in parallel, having robust process procedures and tooling allows us to deploy software at pace and scale into complex banking environments.

As a Release and Incident manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that every release is assembled and documented correctly, all associated signoffs have been received and that for each Client, the appropriate Feature flags are applied as expected by the configuration and signoff of each of our clients. You will also work with our Vendors to ensure that the changes that they are making do not impact our clients and environments.

On the incident side, you will help teams prioritise and triage incidents and make sure that incidents are resolved promptly. You will also be responsible for uplifting Process and tooling as well as documentation. Constantinople has an audacious goal to modernise banking at scale so safely releasing change into complex environments at pace and scale is key to our goals.
