Senior Devops Engineer

Become part of a global team whose mission is to ensure that mobile devices are safe and secure for children; and to maximize their potential to be used as a learning aid in education. Tablets are used extensively in schools in an attempt to amplify teaching. However, teachers spend too much time administering the devices and therefore have not leveraged the benefits of the technology to improve the pupils’ pedagogic instruction. They exist to offer mobile device protection and management, empowering parents and schools to leverage these mobile devices simply and cost
effectively. The client ensures that teachers spend less time managing devices and more time educating our children. Our client has already won a number of awards and been mentioned in a number of high profile articles and sites such as New York Times. We are now in the process of expanding the team and enhancing our primary product. Currently available for iOS, macOS, Android and Chromebook devices.
