As a DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, securing, and maintaining the development infrastructure used throughout the product lifecycle, including the underlying network connectivity and security controls. The environment includes source code and artifact management, build and release automation, test infrastructure, Kubernetes-based platforms, and integrations supporting requirements management, verification, validation, and product releases.

You will collaborate closely with development teams to streamline development workflows and introduce modern tools and practices that support developers in their daily work.

Main Responsibilities

• Maintain and continuously improve the development environment and DevOps toolchain, manage source code repositories, build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact repositories.
• Design, implement, and maintain secure, resilient network connectivity for development, build, test and deployment environments and troubleshoot issues.
• Support network architecture and configuration for Kubernetes-based platforms, including ingress controls, load balancing, DNS, service connectivity, network policies and certificate management.

Our ideal candidate has a strong background in DevOps, automation, and software development tooling.

You are a proactive, hands-on professional who can apply industry best practices to modern, highly secure and regulated engineering environments.

Required Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent.
• Minimum five years of relevant experience in DevOps, Build Engineering, Software Tooling, or a similar role.
• Solid understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, proxies, load balancing, TLS/PKI, and network segmentation.
