You will also establish robust processes and automation for monitoring, alerting, and logging across distributed systems, ensuring timely issue detection and resolution. Additionally, you will lead efforts to optimize infrastructure code through regular reviews, identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing best practices. Your responsibilities will include staying updated on emerging tools, cloud services, and industry trends to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge in our operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure solutions using AWS, Azure, or GCP to ensure scalability, reliability, and security.
- Develop and maintain automation scripts for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and system orchestration using tools like Ansible, Terraform, or Jenkins.
- Build and manage centralized dashboards and metrics using platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, or Kibana to monitor system performance and infrastructure health.
- Establish end-to-end monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworks to ensure real-time visibility into system behavior and operational anomalies.
- Collaborate with development teams to implement DevOps best practices, including code reviews, configuration management, and deployment strategies.
- Conduct regular infrastructure code audits to identify technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks.
- Lead incident response and root cause analysis for operational issues, ensuring proactive measures to prevent recurrence.
- Stay current with the latest DevOps tools, cloud technologies, and industry standards to continuously improve our operational capabilities.
- Provide mentorship and training to junior engineers and development teams on DevOps methodologies, automation best practices, and cloud-native technologies.
- Ensure alignment with organizational architecture, information security policies, and engineering strategies through standardized processes and tools.
Job Requirements
- Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer with a minimum of 5 years in cloud infrastructure design and automation.
- Expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable system deployment.
- Strong proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell) and configuration management tools (Ansible, Terraform, Puppet).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, including tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI, to automate testing, deployment, and rollback processes.
- Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) for real-time system tracking and analytics.
- Ability to design and implement secure infrastructure solutions with compliance to industry standards (GDPR, ISO 27001) and internal policies.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with a track record of resolving complex operational issues and optimizing system performance.
- Strong communication and collaboration abilities to work with cross-functional teams, including developers, security, and operations.
- Preferred certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer, or Google Cloud Professional DevOps Engineer.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices and version control systems (Git) for managing cloud resources and configurations.
- Ability to lead and mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and best practices in DevOps workflows.
- Proficiency in cloud security frameworks (IAM, VPC, encryption) to ensure data protection and regulatory compliance.
- Experience with automated testing and quality assurance processes to validate infrastructure changes and system updates.
- Strong understanding of system architecture, scalability principles, and high-availability design patterns.
- Ability to document processes, tools, and infrastructure configurations for knowledge sharing and team onboarding.
- Experience with incident management systems (e.g., PagerDuty, Opsgenie) for tracking and resolving operational incidents.
- Knowledge of cost optimization strategies for cloud infrastructure to ensure efficient resource utilization and budget adherence.
- Ability to design and implement disaster recovery and business continuity plans for critical systems and services.
- Strong analytical skills to interpret metrics, logs, and system data for performance tuning and capacity planning.
