• You'll evaluate existing processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver measurable gains in operational efficiency, reliability, consistency, and scalability.
• You'll build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), version-controlled environments, and CI/CD pipelines incorporating automated testing, security checks, and deployment practices.
• You'll embed security and compliance into automation through secure secrets management, access controls, governance, and best-practice operational standards.
• You'll support containerized and GPU-accelerated AI platforms, troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, lead root cause analysis, document architectural decisions, and mentor engineers in DevOps best practices.

What we offer

• Competitive Total Rewards Package: Comprehensive annual compensation including basic salary, HRA, special allowance, provident fund contributions, gratuity, internet allowance, and food allowance.

• You have a proven track record of implementing DevOps frameworks and automation solutions within infrastructure-heavy environments, ideally in greenfield, transformation, or modernization programs.
• You demonstrate an automation-first mindset, with extensive experience using Infrastructure-as-Code, configuration management, CI/CD tooling, scripting, Git, branching strategies, and artifact management to replace manual processes with scalable, repeatable solutions.
• You possess strong Linux systems administration expertise, solid networking fundamentals, hands-on experience with containers and Kubernetes, and a sound understanding of security best practices in automated environments.
• You are an effective communicator who can engage stakeholders, influence technical direction, document standards, and collaborate across teams to drive operational excellence and DevOps adoption.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT

As a forward-looking business, sustainability is integral to our strategy and operations. Our sustainability
depends on us building and maintaining meaningful, long-term relationships with all our stakeholders -
including our employees, clients, and local communities - while also reducing our impact on our natural
environment.

There is always more we can, and should do, to improve - whether in relation to our people, our clients, our
planet, or our governance. Our ongoing success as a business depends on our sustainability and agility in a
changing and challenging global landscape. We're committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable and diverse
culture for our people, led by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion steering committee.

Our learning and development programmes and systems (including PowerU and MyCampus) enable us to
invest in growing our employees' careers, while our hybrid working approach supports our employees in
achieving balance and flexibility while remaining connected to their colleagues. We want to empower our
5,500+ employees - from 94 nationalities, speaking 41 languages across 25 countries - to each achieve their potential. Through IQ-EQ Launchpad we support female managers launching their first fund, in an environment where only 15% of all private equity and venture capital firms are gender balanced.

We're committed to growing long-term relationships with our clients and supporting them in achieving their
objectives. We understand that our clients' sustainability and success leads to our sustainability and success.
We're emotionally invested in our clients right from the beginning.
