Senior Devops Engineer (Need Immediate joiner)

Senior Devops Engineer (Need Immediate joiner)

You will lead automation, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure initiatives, partnering with Development, QA, Security, and IT Operations.

Your expertise with containers, CI tools, and version control will help ensure reliability, scalability, and continuous improvement.

• Design, build & maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins (or equivalent), seamlessly integrating with Git for code version control
• Containerization & orchestration: Create Docker images, manage container lifecycles; deploy and scale services in Kubernetes clusters (typically self‑managed or cloud‑managed)
• Cloud infrastructure provisioning & automation: Use IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible to provision compute, networking, and storage in AWS/Azure/GCP cloud environments
• Monitoring, logging & observability: Implement solutions like Prometheus, ELK, Grafana or equivalent to monitor performance, set alerts, and troubleshoot production issues
• System reliability & incident management: Participate in on‑call rotation, perform root‑cause analysis, and own post‑incident remediation
• Security & compliance: Embed DevSecOps practices—container image scanning, IAM policies, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation
• Mentorship & leadership: Guide junior team members, propose process improvements, and help transition manual workflows to automated pipelines
