The DevOps Architect focuses on enhancing platform reliability through CI/CD automation, Kubernetes management, and collaboration with SREs for efficient deployments and operational excellence.
Highly skilled DevOps Engineer to join the Integrated Platform SRE squad. This role focuses on supporting our platform reliability and automation goals, ensuring robust CI/CD pipelines and efficient, secure deployments to Kubernetes-based infrastructure. Hands-on technical role ideal for someone passionate about infrastructure automation, scalable deployment practices, and operational excellence. You will work closely with SREs, developers, and platform engineers to support and evolve our platform capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins to enable fast, secure, and repeatable deployments.
- Manage container orchestration and deployment via Kubernetes (EKS) and Helm.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and monitoring to support application reliability and performance.
- Collaborate with SREs to build platform tooling that supports observability, diagnostics, and resiliency.
- Troubleshoot deployment issues and lead root cause analysis for platform-related incidents.
- Support and enhance deployment strategies including canary releases, blue/green deployments, and rollback mechanisms.
- Ensure systems are compliant with security and audit standards using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices.
Required Skills & Experience
- 10+ years of experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE role.
- Proven expertise with Jenkins for building robust and secure CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, preferably AWS EKS.
- Deep understanding of Helm for managing Kubernetes deployments.
- Proficient with scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python, Groovy) and version control (e.g., Git).
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Solid understanding of monitoring, logging, and alerting practices (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog).
- Experience working in Agile environments with cross-functional teams.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to cloud-native technologies like ArgoCD, Flux, or Kustomize.
- Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
