YOUR IMPACT

You will be responsible for maintaining a CI/CD pipeline. A strong candidate will have either a development background that translated into Operations or an Operations Engineer who has Development experience. Knowledge of python, Java/Groovy, or some major language is a requirement. This person should understand thoroughly how code goes from code commit to production. They should have a thorough understating on how to architect highly available infrastructure.

What The Role Offers

• Bring extensive industry and organizational knowledge, applying advanced expertise relative to DevSecOps concepts and best practices.
• Take proactive leadership, overseeing medium to large scale assignments along with other members, complex scripts development, and end-to-end solution delivery.
• Involve in end-to-end DevSecOps process including deep-dive analysis and implementing compensating measures for optimal performance.
• Coordinate and direct cross-functional teams, ensuring exceptional results through collaboration and leadership.
• Develop effective solutions for broad projects, evaluating all potential variables and adapting complex techniques.
• Help the team with critical decisions as a senior team member, foster valuable networks with stakeholders, and provide guidance on complex matters.

What You Need to Succeed

• 5 - 8 years of professional experience in the Software Development industry
• 3+ years of experience in Build and Release Engineering activities
• University degree or similar (B.E., B.Tech, MCA, or equivalent) preferably in Computer Science
• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Implement and maintain continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. Use tools like, GitLab CI/CD to automate the building, testing, and deployment of applications. Ensure that code changes can be tested and deployed quickly and reliably.
• Infrastructure Automation: Utilize infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources. This includes virtual machines, containers, networking, and other cloud services.
• Containerization: Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes is crucial. Containerize applications, making them portable and consistent across different environments.
• Monitoring and Logging: Implement monitoring solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, etc.) to track application and infrastructure performance. This ensures early detection of issues and helps maintain system reliability.
• Security and Compliance: Ensuring the security of the entire software delivery lifecycle is a priority. Work on implementing security best practices and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
• Collaboration: Effective communication and collaboration with development and operations teams are key. Help in breaking down silos and fostering a culture of shared responsibility.
• Troubleshooting and Incident Response: When issues arise, play a role in diagnosing problems and assisting with incident response. Work to quickly identify root causes and implement solutions to prevent future occurrences.
• Version Control: Proficiency in using version control systems like GitLab/Subversion etc. is essential. Ensure that code changes are tracked, managed, and versioned appropriately.
• Scripting and Automation: Write & maintain scripts like (Ant, Maven, Gradel, Shell, Python, Perl etc.) and develop automation solutions on platforms like Windows/Linux/Solaris/AIX/HP/other Unix Flavors) to simplify repetitive tasks and processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing human error.
• Cloud Services: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud is valuable. Leverage cloud services to build scalable and resilient architectures.
• Performance Optimization: Analyze application and infrastructure performance, identifying bottlenecks and areas for optimization. This involves tuning application configurations, database performance, and other components.
• Documentation: Keeping documentation up to date is essential for maintaining clear processes and knowledge sharing across teams.
