Glue has been holding things together since 200,000 BC when the Neanderthals created it from birch tree bark. Glue is the ultimate team player, connecting everything with minimal fuss. The hiring manager described his DevOps team of four as the glue that helps their many product teams in a wider 80-person tech team build outstanding products in sectors like pensions, energy, insurance and football for over a quarter of the top 250 companies in the UK. He believes in his team, a no-blame or micromanagement culture and giving intelligent people the autonomy to do great work.
