Desirable: * Windows Server administration across a virtualised estate. * Observability tooling including Splunk, Grafana or Prometheus, with experience building alerting rather than inheriting it. * Container and Kubernetes security, including exposure to threat modelling. * Infrastructure as code using Terraform, Ansible or equivalent. * Previous experience in a consultancy or client-facing delivery environment. * Exposure to energy, commodities or financial trading platforms. * Relevant AWS certification. ## Description This is a broad DevOps role with two strands of work running alongside each other. The first is migration: moving an on-premise VMware estate onto AWS EC2, beginning with the logical test environment, which calls for genuine vSphere and ESXi depth rather than cloud experience alone. The second is platform: improving self-service tooling, CI/CD and the parts of the deployment process that currently leave engineers waiting. You would work embedded in the client's team day to day while being employed, paid and developed by the consultancy, with a manager in Belfast responsible for your progression and for your next engagement once this one completes., * Migrate on-premise VMware workloads onto AWS EC2, starting with the logical test estate. * Own CI/CD pipelines end to end, building and maintaining Azure DevOps YAML pipelines. * Develop self-service tooling that removes the bottlenecks currently slowing developers down. * Manage containerised workloads on EKS, authoring and maintaining Helm charts. * Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration through infrastructure as code. * Administer Linux and Windows server estates across development, test and production. * Build observability across the platform using tooling such as Grafana, Prometheus and Splunk. * Work with security teams to embed container and Kubernetes security into the delivery process. * Act as a visible technical point of contact for the client throughout the engagement. ## Related Videos - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Startup Presentation: Achieving True Developer Self-Service in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1181-startup-presentation-achieving-true-developer-self-service-in-kubernetes) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe)
