Job Description
Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer with deep, hands‑on expertise in building and operating enterprise‑grade CI/CD platforms, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling at global scale. In this role, you will own the design, automation, and reliability of the software delivery pipeline – enabling engineering squads to ship faster, safer, and with greater confidence. You will bring a strong platform engineering mindset, infrastructure‑as‑code discipline, and a proven track record of reducing toil, improving system resilience, and embedding security into every stage of the software lifecycle in a regulated financial services environment.
- Own the CI/CD Platform Design, build, and continuously improve enterprise CI/CD pipelines.
- Ensure pipelines are fast, reliable, secure, and scalable across dozens of engineering squads and technology stacks.
- Architect & Manage Cloud Infrastructure Provision, manage, and optimize cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP using infrastructure-as-code. Enforce cost controls, security guardrails, and operational best practices at scale.
- Drive Platform Reliability & SRE Practices Define and own SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for platform services. Lead incident response, conduct blameless post‑mortems, and implement systemic fixes to eliminate recurring failures.
- Embed Security into the Delivery Pipeline Implement DevSecOps practices – integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and secrets detection into every pipeline stage. Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards and regulatory requirements.
- Standardize Container & Kubernetes Operations Own the Kubernetes and OpenShift platform strategy – cluster lifecycle management, namespace governance, RBAC, networking policies, and workload autoscaling.
- Enable Developer Productivity Build internal developer platforms (IDP), self‑service tooling, golden path templates, and reusable infrastructure components that reduce friction and accelerate engineering teams.
- Lead Observability & Capacity Planning Design and maintain a unified observability stack covering metrics, logging, and distributed tracing. Drive proactive capacity planning and performance optimization across all environments.
- Champion Infrastructure as Code & GitOps Establish IaC standards across the organization. Drive GitOps adoption for all infrastructure and application configuration changes, ensuring auditability and repeatability.
- Mentor & Lead Technical Direction Define DevOps standards, conduct platform design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with architects, security teams, and engineering leads to align platform strategy with business goals.
