Job description

Overview

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, monitoring, and system reliability
  • Strong understanding of enterprise environments, controls, and compliance requirements
  • Ability to manage work and deliverables independently
  • Ability to support GenAI-enabled engineering practices (e.g., AI-assisted development/operations) while adhering to enterprise governance, security, and risk controls

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins)
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration (e.g., Ansible, Terraform)
  • Ensure high availability, scalability, and security of systems
  • Collaborate with developers, QA, and IT operations to streamline releases
  • Troubleshoot deployment, build, and infrastructure issues
  • Maintain configuration management tools (Ansible)
  • Ensure compliance with enterprise controls and regulatory requirements
  • Work independently to deliver on assigned tasks and projects
  • Utilize Jira and Confluence for work tracking and documentation
  • Enable and operationalise GenAI/LLM-based tooling in the DevOps toolchain (where approved), including secure access, environment configuration, and integration into CI/CD workflows
  • Implement guardrails for GenAI usage (e.g., data handling, prompt/content logging where required, secrets protection, model/tool access controls) aligned to enterprise policies
  • Support reliability and observability for GenAI-enabled services (e.g., monitoring latency, error rates, cost/usage, and drift/quality signals where applicable)

Core Skills

  • Scripting/Programming: Bash, Python, Shell
  • Infrastructure as Code: Ansible, Terraform
  • Source Control: Git, Bitbucket
  • Security & Compliance: Understanding of DevSecOps, secrets management, enterprise controls, and compliance
  • Familiarity with Jira and Confluence
  • GenAI/LLM Fundamentals: Understanding of LLM concepts (prompting, embeddings, RAG, model limitations), and how to apply them safely in engineering workflows
  • GenAI Tooling & Integration: Experience using and integrating GenAI-assisted tools (e.g., code assistants, chat-based ops assistants) and/or APIs into developer/DevOps workflows
  • Responsible AI & Data Handling: Awareness of privacy, IP, data classification, and secure usage patterns when working with GenAI tools in enterprise environments

Preferred

  • Experience supporting GenAI platforms/services in production (e.g., model/API deployment patterns, prompt/version management, evaluation/monitoring, and cost controls)
