Your primary focus will be converting today's run-day and disaster recovery scripts into parameterized, orchestrated deployment pipelines and workflows, and building the deployment management tooling that tracks which version is running in each environment. This is a hybrid application engineering / systems engineering role: you will support new client implementations and custom scripts on the application side, and manage pipelines and run-day operations on the systems side. You will work closely with our development, TechOps, and cloud infrastructure teams to make the platform more sustainable and scalable. Workflow Orchestration: Migrate existing run-day, disaster recovery, and operational scripts into orchestrated deployment pipelines and workflows. Design, build, and operate production workflows with clear dependencies, retries, and alerting. Script Parameterization: Refactor runtime scripts so they are parameterized, reusable, and environment-agnostic, eliminating hardcoded per-client and per-environment values and the manual edits that come with them. Deployment Management: Build and maintain tooling that tracks build versions across environments (development, QA, UAT, production) and automates deployment and promotion between them. Client Implementations: Support new client onboarding by developing and adapting custom scripts, configuration, and automation on the application side. Run-Day Operations: Manage processing pipelines and run-day operations. Troubleshoot batch failures, identify root cause, and replace repeat manual intervention with durable automated fixes. Cloud Automation: Build and operate automation on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using native CLIs, SDKs, and infrastructure-as-code practices. Monitoring and Notifications: Build alerting and notification automation (Slack, email) so failures and stalls surface before they affect clients. Process Improvement: Think critically about existing processes and propose better solutions rather than maintaining the status quo. Drive improvements that make the platform more sustainable and scalable. Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation of workflows, runbooks, deployment procedures, and automation standards. Collaboration: Collaborate with development, TechOps, and infrastructure teams to streamline how work moves from code to production. ## Related Videos - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Fully Orchestrating Databricks from Airflow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/336-fully-orchestrating-databricks-from-airflow) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/681-technical-documentation-how-can-i-write-them-better-and-why-should-i-care) - [The journey from developer to devops - what i've learnt along the way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/238-the-journey-from-developer-to-devops-what-i-ve-learnt-along-the-way) - [3 Key Steps for Optimizing DevOps Workflows](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/962-3-key-steps-for-optimizing-devops-workflows) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [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) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
