Job description

Mid / senior DevOps engineer for Thales's defence, aerospace and cybersecurity engineering hub in Noida — AWS, EKS, Terraform, GitLab CI, full DevSecOps. 4-9 years, hybrid, INR 18-32 LPA band.

Responsibilities

Build and operate AWS-based development and integration environments for Thales's defence, aerospace and cybersecurity product lines — VPC, EKS, S3, KMS, IAM, RDS Aurora and Step Functions, all provisioned through Terraform modules in a Thales-internal registry. Design and run CI/CD pipelines on GitLab CI and (legacy) Jenkins, with reusable templates, image-signing via cosign, SBOM generation (CycloneDX) and signed-artefact promotion through environments. Operate production EKS clusters with hardened baselines: Pod Security standards, NetworkPolicy, OPA / Kyverno admission policies, IRSA for workload IAM, and AWS GuardDuty + Security Hub centralised in a delegated administrator account. Lead DevSecOps adoption: SAST (SonarQube), DAST (OWASP ZAP), software composition analysis, IaC scanning (Checkov, tfsec), secret-scanning, and image scanning (Trivy / Grype) — all gating in pipelines for higher environments. Provision and maintain observability via Prometheus + Grafana for metrics, Elastic Stack for logs, and Jaeger / Tempo for distributed tracing. Define SLOs jointly with product teams and review them quarterly. Drive operational excellence: capacity planning, runbook automation via Ansible, blameless post-incident reviews, and a rolling chaos-engineering programme on the integration environments. Support the Indian engineering teams' contribution into global Thales product lines through clean documentation, structured handovers and active participation in cross-site architecture review boards. Continuously improve cost-efficiency: instance rightsizing, Spot adoption for non-production, Savings Plans for production, and image / volume cleanup automation.

Requirements

4-9 years of DevOps / Platform Engineering experience, including 2+ years on AWS and 2+ years on production Kubernetes (EKS preferred). Strong Terraform; comfortable across at least two AWS accounts with separate state and remote backends. Production CI/CD in GitLab CI or Jenkins; reusable templates and security-gating in pipelines. Hands‑on Linux administration, Bash and Python at automation‑quality level. DevSecOps fluency — at least one of SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning, image scanning, or secret-scanning practitioner‑level experience. Working knowledge of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic / OpenSearch). Familiarity with regulated or security‑sensitive industries (defence, aerospace, BFSI, healthcare) is a strong plus. B.Tech / B.E. / M.Tech in Computer Science or equivalent. Cloud certifications (AWS, CKA / CKAD) preferred.
