Associate Software Developer - Release Management

Core Services is looking for an Associate Software Developer to join our Release Management team in its Operations domain to support our release workflow.

The Core Services group provides foundational technologies to other technology groups within DNEG. We are a team of software developers who architect, build and provide geographically spread, enterprise-level, mission-critical infrastructure. We create services, frameworks, and products that other teams rely upon to build and deliver their technology solutions. We are the core of all things technology at DNEG.

●        Provide regular feedback to the Release Management tools developers and workflow designers.

●        Become familiar with the developers and users of a broad spectrum of internally-developed software.

This is an entry-level job with a huge amount of potential to learn from the best, discover technologies that you find exciting, and grow your career along your chosen path.
