Job description

Описание

As a Senior Engineer in Platform Engineering, you will lead the design, delivery and evolution of JHI’s CI/CD capabilities, enabling consistent, secure and scalable software delivery across the enterprise. Combining DevOps engineering, platform architecture and developer experience, you will focus on the Azure DevOps-to-GitHub transition, platform tooling and integration with Snowflake and Databricks. As a subject matter expert in DevOps tooling, automation and platform reliability, you will promote best practice, standardisation and self-service capabilities across engineering teams.

Задачи

Lead DevOps transformation initiatives, including migration from Azure DevOps to GitHub, and implement standardised CI/CD pipelines, reusable workflows, and release automation frameworks. Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform, Bicep, or similar tools to provision and manage cloud infrastructure. Deliver and optimise cloud-native platforms on Azure (primary), ensuring scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency. Act as SME across DevOps tooling, including GitHub (Actions, Advanced Security), Nexus (artifact management), and Veracode (application security), embedding security controls into pipelines and platform services. Enable and support DevOps practices for core data platforms, including Snowflake and Databricks, covering environment provisioning, CI/CD integration, and access control models. Implement observability frameworks, including monitoring, logging, and alerting, and contribute to SRE practices such as SLIs/SLOs, reliability engineering, and incident management. Embed security and compliance standards into all platform components, ensuring auditability, policy enforcement, and alignment with enterprise governance requirements. Represent Platform Engineering in External and internal audit engagements, clearly explaining controls, providing accurate evidence, responding to findings, and driving remediation actions to closure. Drive developer experience improvements through platform standardisation, self-service tooling, templates, and AI-enabled capabilities (e.g., Copilot, intelligent automation). Collaborate with AI Team, Architecture, Cloud COE, SRE, and engineering teams to deliver consistent and governed platform capabilities across the organisation. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical leadership, standards definition, and engineering best practices.
