DevOps Engineer

As a DevOps Engineer Lead, you will design, build, and operate automation-first CI/CD and deployment pipelines for applications and infrastructure. This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership to improve release velocity, reliability, and security across environments. You will partner closely with application teams, platform/infrastructure teams, and security to standardize deployment patterns, streamline operations, and drive continuous improvement., * Automate provisioning and configuration using infrastructure-as-code and reusable modules/templates

• Reduce manual operational effort by automating repetitive deployment and environment management tasks
• Reliability, Operations, and Support:
• Improve deployment reliability through quality gates, pipeline controls, and environment health checks
• Lead incident triage, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements related to deployments and platform tooling
• Collaboration and Technical Leadership:
• Partner with developers, QA, security, and infrastructure teams to implement secure and compliant delivery practices
• Mentor engineers, conduct reviews of pipeline and automation changes, and drive DevOps best practices

Key Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership & Development:

• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code and automation (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation)
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), including deployment and rollback strategies
• Strong scripting skills (e.g., Bash, PowerShell, Python) to automate operational workflows
• Experience implementing observability practices (logging, metrics, alerting) and supporting incident response and root cause analysis
• Strong communication skills to align stakeholders on deployment standards, environments, and release readiness
• Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure deployments
• Standardize build, test, release, and rollback processes across teams and environments, * Experience with GitOps and progressive delivery approaches (e.g., Argo CD/Flux, canary/blue-green deployments)
• Familiarity with secrets management and policy controls (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, cloud key vaults, OPA/Gatekeeper)
• Experience implementing DevSecOps practices such as SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, and SBOM generation in pipelines
• Exposure to service mesh and advanced Kubernetes operations (e.g., Istio/Linkerd, ingress, autoscaling, network policies)
• Experience supporting regulated environments with audit-ready change management and deployment traceability
