Devops Engineer

Role Summary

The DevOps Engineer will be responsible for building maintaining and improving cloud infrastructure CI/CD pipelines deployment automation and monitoring systems. This role is suited for an experienced hands-on engineer who can independently manage production environments support development teams troubleshoot operational issues and contribute to secure scalable and reliable software delivery.

II. Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

1. Infrastructure Automation & Cloud Operations

Cloud Management: Provision configure and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS Azure or GCP using approved architecture and security standards.

Infrastructure as Code: Develop and maintain Terraform CloudFormation or equivalent IaC modules for repeatable environment provisioning.

Automation: Write scripts in Bash Python or similar languages to automate operational tasks reduce manual effort and improve consistency.

2. CI/CD Pipeline Development

Pipeline Implementation: Build maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins GitLab CI GitHub Actions Azure DevOps or similar tools.

Release Automation: Automate build test packaging deployment rollback and environment promotion workflows.

Developer Enablement: Collaborate with development and QA teams to improve deployment speed pipeline reliability and overall developer productivity.

3. Containers Monitoring and Production Support

Containerization: Create and maintain Docker-based application deployments and support Kubernetes workloads in production or pre-production environments.

Observability: Configure monitoring logging dashboards and alerts using tools such as Prometheus Grafana ELK Splunk or Datadog.

Incident Support: Investigate deployment failures infrastructure issues alerts and production incidents; participate in RCA and preventive action planning.

4. Security Documentation and Process Improvement

DevSecOps Practices: Integrate basic security checks secret management dependency scanning and vulnerability remediation into pipelines and infrastructure workflows.

Documentation: Maintain deployment guides environment setup documentation runbooks and operational SOPs.

Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring issues propose automation improvements and help standardize DevOps practices across teams.
