PURPOSE OF ROLE

Working as an integral member of the DevOps team, the role collaborates closely with the Product Owner DevOps and the DevOps Lead Engineer to deliver the roadmap and continuously improve platform capabilities. The DevOps Engineer focuses on building, operating, and enhancing CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and platform services. In close partnership with product and engineering teams, the role helps reduce lead time, lower failure rates, and provide a scalable, secure, and high-quality developer experience. The DevOps Engineer applies a structured and analytical approach to incident investigation and problem solving, identifying root causes across applications, infrastructure, and network layers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines and platform services (e.g. container platforms, artifact repositories, secrets, and environments) with a strong automation-first mindset.
• Infrastructure as Code: Implement and maintain cloud infrastructure (e.g. Azure) using Terraform or comparable tools.
• Reliability & Operations: Participate in incident response, post-mortems, and root cause analyses.
• Apply structured troubleshooting methodologies to identify and resolve issues across applications, infrastructure, cloud services, and network components. Actively contribute to reducing MTTR and improving operational reliability.
• Network & Platform Fundamentals: Understand and troubleshoot core networking concepts such as DNS, routing, load balancing, firewalls, TLS/SSL, HTTP(S), and connectivity issues in cloud and hybrid environments. Collaborate effectively with network, platform, and development teams to resolve complex operational problems.
• Observability & Monitoring: Build and continuously improve monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions.
• Security by Design: Embed security and compliance controls into pipelines (e.g. secrets management, vulnerability scanning, policy-as-code).
• Developer Enablement: Create and maintain templates, golden paths, and self-service capabilities to reduce lead time and cognitive load for development teams.

YOU’LL BE A GREAT FIT IF

• Strong hands-on experience spanning software development, IT operations, and networking, combined with the ability to analyse systems end-to-end and identify root causes across application, infrastructure, and network layers.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with a structured approach to identifying root causes.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals including DNS, TCP/IP, routing, load balancing, TLS/SSL, proxies, and connectivity troubleshooting.
• Experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar).
• Experience with CI/CD platforms and automation tooling.
• Scripting experience using Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar languages.
• Solid understanding of reliability and observability concepts (monitoring, alerting, SLOs).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in cross-functional teams.
