Senior DevOps Engineer will build, automate, and optimize cloud infrastructure, focusing on scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
The Sr. DOE should have a deep understanding of cloud-native development, automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and cloud architecture best practices.
The incumbent will work closely with cross-functional teams (development, security, and operations) to ensure seamless code deployments, high availability, and performance in production environments.
This role is ideal for a proactive, go-getter who is eager to drive new technology adoption within the organization.
Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, deploy, and manage scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure in public cloud environments (AWS, Azure).
Automation & CI/CD: Implement and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines, ensuring reliable and efficient deployment of microservices and containerized applications (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and manage infrastructure as code using tools such as Terraform.
Monitoring & Optimization: Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting systems for proactive infrastructure performance optimization, incident detection, and root cause analysis. (e.g., Dynatrace, CloudWatch, Splunk, Grafana, ELK Stack).
Security: Implement security best practices (e.g., encryption, identity and access management, network security, vulnerability scanning) to protect cloud infrastructure and application workloads.
Automation Scripting: Create automation scripts for cloud operations and orchestration using Python or similar scripting languages.
Incident Response: Own and manage incident response, ensuring quick recovery times and data integrity.
Collaboration: Work closely with infrastructure teams to automate and optimize infrastructure provisioning and scaling using IaC tools like Terraform.
Cloud Strategy: Drive the evaluation and adoption of new tools and technologies to keep the organization at the forefront of observability and monitoring practices.
Mentoring: Ability to lead and mentor a team of DevOps engineers.
Continuous Improvement: Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field.
- Minimum 6 years of DevOps engineering experience
- Extensive hands-on experience with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Proficient in IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Expertise in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Flux, Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline).
- Strong knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes for container orchestration.
- Proficient in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
- Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, CloudWatch).
- Strong communication skills to interact with team members, vendors, and leadership.
