Your Role as a DevOps Engineer:
As a DevOps Engineer, you will be the primary architect of our delivery engine. Your mission is to empower our engineering teams by building high-performance CI/CD pipelines, automating toil out of existence, and ensuring that software moves from a developer's laptop to production with zero friction. You will work side-by-side with developers to refactor systems for better deployability and integrate modern AI-driven tools to optimize our engineering velocity.
A Day in the Life of a DevOps Engineer:
- Developer Enablement: Collaborating with development and QA teams to identify bottlenecks in the SDLC and implementing automated solutions to fix them.
- Developer Experience (DevEx): Building self-service tools that allow developers to provision environments and debug their own deployments independently.
- Pipeline Engineering: Designing and optimizing complex pipelines to ensure fast, reliable, and secure software delivery.
- Artifact Management: Managing and securing our software supply chain to ensure version consistency and security.
- Automation & Tooling: Writing robust scripts in PowerShell or Python to automate repetitive tasks and workflows.
- Kubernetes Integration: Assisting teams in containerizing applications and managing deployments within Kubernetes environments.
- AI Innovation: Exploring and implementing AI-powered development tools (like GitHub Copilot or automated testing agents) to increase engineering velocity.
What You’ll Need:
- Communication: Ability to speak "Developer" and "Operations" fluently to bridge the gap between teams.
- Version Control & Branching Strategies: Deep knowledge of Git and strategies like GitFlow, Trunk-Based Development, or GitHub Flow.
- SCM: Deep experience with source code services like GitHub or Bitbucket, including repository administration, permissions management, etc.
- Azure DevOps: Proven experience building YAML-based pipelines, creating reusable YAML templates, managing complex environments, and handling complex release strategies.
- Engineering-Grade Scripting: Ability to write clean, modular scripting code (PowerShell, Python, NodeJs or Bash) to automate the lifecycle of an application.
- Artifactory: Experience managing binary repositories (JFrog, Azure Artifacts or similar) and understanding the lifecycle of a software artifact.
- Orchestration & Packaging: Experience with Kubernetes or other container orchestrators and application packaging to manage complex deployments.
- Docker: Deep experience with containerization—building, optimizing, and securing Docker images is essential for our delivery process.
- Cloud Platforms: Experience with cloud providers such as Google Cloud Platform, AWS and Azure.
- Reproducible Environments: Experience with Vagrant (or similar tools) to provide developers with standardized local environments, minimizing "environment drift" between local and production.
- Lifelong Learner: A passion for mastering new systems and technologies rather than just settling for a "quick fix"
Nice to Have:
- Testing Automation Integration: Proven ability to integrate E2E testing frameworks like Playwright directly into CI/CD pipelines, including managing test artifacts and reporting.
- Automation Mindset: A background in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), preferably with HashiCorp tools (Terraform/Packer).
- AI/ML Ops: Familiarity with integrating AI tools into the developer workflow to assist with code reviews, testing, or documentation.
- Data Systems: Understanding of MySQL, MongoDB, or message brokers like RabbitMQ.
- Secrets Management: Experience with Azure Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault for securing sensitive credentials.
