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.
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
