Junior Deployment

Key Responsibilities:

• Deployment Planning & Coordination: Plan, schedule, and coordinate the deployment of software releases, updates, and patches across multiple environments (e.g., staging, production).
• Build and Release Management: Manage the build, release, and version control processes. Work with development teams to ensure that software is packaged and ready for deployment.
• Automation of Deployment Processes: Develop and maintain automated deployment scripts using tools like Jenkins, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or similar to streamline deployment workflows.
• Environment Management: Ensure that development, staging, and production environments are properly configured and maintained for deployments.
• Troubleshooting & Support: Monitor the deployment process, troubleshoot issues that arise, and provide timely resolutions. Work with developers to fix issues related to deployments.
• Collaboration: Collaborate with software developers, QA engineers, and IT operations teams to ensure successful integration of the deployment pipeline with development and testing activities.
• Documentation: Create and maintain detailed deployment documentation, including deployment procedures, release notes, and change logs.
• Post-Deployment Monitoring: Ensure that deployed applications are performing as expected and investigate any performance or functional issues that arise post-deployment.
• Risk Management: Identify potential deployment risks, prepare contingency plans, and ensure deployment best practices are followed to minimize downtime or system failures.
• Continuous Improvement: Continuously assess and improve deployment processes, tools, and methodologies to increase efficiency, reliability, and scalability of deployments.

Requirements:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Deployment Engineer or a related role with a focus on deployment automation, software delivery, or DevOps.
• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell) for automating deployments.
  • Experience with deployment automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, Ansible, Terraform, Chef, Puppet).
  • Strong understanding of version control systems like Git.
  • Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for deploying applications.
  • Understanding of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Knowledge of system administration, networking, and infrastructure management.
• Soft Skills:
  • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities.
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
  • Attention to detail and the ability to follow deployment procedures.
  • Good communication skills to document and explain deployment processes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in an Agile or DevOps environment.
• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles and tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Familiarity with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Nagios, Datadog).
• Experience with microservices architecture and deploying microservices-based applications.
• Experience with container orchestration and cloud-native environments.
