Job Description

Seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to build automation that securely downloads and installs approved client repository software on PMUL/Cybersphere servers and to create CI/CD pipelines for installation, validation, and promotion across environments. Strong Linux, Ansible, Jenkins, artifact and secrets management required.

About the role:

You will design and implement reliable, idempotent automation and CI/CD pipelines to ensure approved repository packages are securely retrieved, validated, and installed on target Linux servers (PMUL/Cybersphere). Collaborate with security, release, and operations teams to meet audit/compliance requirements.

Key responsibilities:

• Build CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) that fetch approved artifacts, verify integrity, install packages, and run post-install validations.
• Develop idempotent install automation (Ansible preferred) that supports install/upgrade/uninstall and rollback.
• Integrate with internal artifact repositories and implement checksum/signature verification.
• Implement secure secrets handling (Jenkins credentials / Vault), mutual TLS or token auth for repo access, and detailed audit logging.
• Add automated smoke tests, health checks, and monitoring/alerts for install outcomes and configuration drift.
• Document runbooks, rollback procedures, and pipeline design; provide knowledge transfer to ops teams.
• Ensure solutions comply with enterprise change controls and security policies.

Required qualifications:

• 6+ years engineering experience with 4+ years in DevOps/SRE/automation roles (senior level).
• Strong Linux administration (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) and package management (rpm/yum, dpkg/apt).
• Hands-on experience with Ansible (preferred) or Chef/Puppet and with writing idempotent automation.
• Proficient in Jenkins pipeline development (Jenkinsfile, shared libraries) and CI/CD concepts.
• Experience with artifact stores (Artifactory/Nexus) and secure artifact retrieval practices.
• Scripting: Python and Bash; familiarity with shell tooling and unit-testable scripts.
• Experience with secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, cloud KMS) and secure credential usage in pipelines.
• Good knowledge of networking, SSH, firewalls, and access controls; strong documentation skills.
• Experience working in regulated/compliant environments is strongly preferred.

Preferred:

• Direct experience integrating with internal enterprise repos or PMUL/Cybersphere-like platforms.
• Familiarity with signing artifacts (GPG), checksum verification, and binary provenance.
• Terraform or cloud IaC experience; container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) a plus.
• Experience with ServiceNow/ITSM integration and change-control workflows.
