Experience: 8–12 Years • Band: Senior Engineer (IC) • Department: Software Engineering — IT Systems • Reports To: Engineering Manager
POSITION SUMMARY
We are seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to own the engineering delivery infrastructure — CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, multi-deployment packaging, release management, security automation, and platform observability. The engineer will support on-premises, cloud-native (AWS/GCP/Azure), hybrid edge-cloud, and air-gapped deployment targets across a multi-year, multi-release product roadmap.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
• Design, build, and optimize GitLab CI/CD pipelines for all microservices with independent deployment cycles
• Implement multi-stage pipelines: build → test → security scan → package → deploy across all environments
• Integrate automated unit, integration, and system-level tests; manage all pipeline configuration as code
• Configure branch-based promotion strategies (dev → staging → production)
Container Orchestration & Infrastructure
• Manage containerized deployments via Docker and Kubernetes on Linux and Windows Server
• Provision and manage Kubernetes clusters (dev, staging, production) with horizontal pod autoscaling
• Configure service mesh (Istio/Linkerd) for inter-service mTLS; manage container image registry lifecycle
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Ansible for cloud and on-premises resources
Multi-Deployment Operations
• Build on-premises Docker/Kubernetes deployment automation for Linux and Windows Server targets
• Develop cloud-native automation for AWS, GCP, and Azure (EKS/GKE/AKS) including multi-region config
• Engineer hybrid edge-cloud pipelines; package air-gapped artefact bundles for offline/classified environments
• Implement zero-downtime rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and automated rollback strategies
Release Management
• Orchestrate software releases across the multi-release product roadmap; coordinate cross-functional readiness
• Manage versioning, release tagging, changelog generation, and artefact storage across all microservices
• Produce deployment runbooks, release notes, and rollback procedures for each release milestone
Security & Compliance Automation
• Integrate SAST, DAST, container image scanning (Trivy/Snyk/Clair), and dependency vulnerability checks
• Automate SBOM generation, open-source license compliance, and software supply chain tracking
• Configure secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), TLS certificate automation, and PKI for microservices
• Implement pipeline controls for SOC 2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, and FedRAMP readiness
Monitoring, Observability & Reliability
• Deploy centralized logging (ELK/Loki), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana), and distributed tracing (Jaeger)
• Configure Kubernetes cluster monitoring, pod health dashboards, and alerting/on-call integration
• Drive proactive reliability engineering to meet high-availability platform SLA targets
Automation & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Create Bash/Python automation for infrastructure operations, environment provisioning, and self-healing
• Interface with software architects, developers, QA, and product management on delivery and planning
• Guide development teams on DevOps best practices, containerization patterns, and pipeline design
