Principal DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 5, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 27, 2026.
About the Job
As a Principal DevOps Engineer at Allianz Technology, you will play a critical role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of our development processes. You will design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD and GitOps pipelines that ensure seamless integration and deployment across backend services and mobile applications. Your expertise will be crucial in optimizing performance, ensuring security, and implementing best practices in DevOps and SRE. You will also leverage AI-assisted engineering tools to enhance automation and operational efficiency, while mentoring engineers and driving a culture of continuous improvement.
What you do
Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipelines across backend services and native mobile apps, from commit through to production and store release.
Operate and evolve Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS inside a managed landing zone; provision with Terraform and deliver with Helm and GitOps so environments stay in parity.
Own the mobile release path end to end: build flavours and code signing (Android keystores, iOS provisioning profiles), Fastlane automation, test distribution, and App Store Connect / Google Play publishing, including the macOS build agents behind it.
Own observability and SRE practices: define SLIs/SLOs, build dashboards, lead incident response, and proactively address performance and availability issues across production and the cross-region DR standby.
Embed DevSecOps by design: secure defaults, least-privilege access, software supply chain security, vulnerability management, and enforced pre/post-deployment controls; produce the evidence internal audit and change control ask for.
Collaborate with development, QA, and operations to streamline the SDLC, standardize branching/versioning, and remove delivery friction.
Troubleshoot and resolve issues across development, testing, and production; mentor engineers and foster ownership and continuous improvement.
Stay current with emerging platform, security, and AI-assisted engineering practices; use AI tools with appropriate review and verification controls.
What you bring
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
Strong Linux fundamentals and hands-on Kubernetes experience (orchestration, troubleshooting, day-2 operations).
Proven DevOps/Platform/SRE experience with solid CI/CD and GitOps practices (GitHub Actions, and Argo CD or Flux) and strong Git fundamentals.
Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred; Azure/GCP acceptable), Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and declarative Kubernetes delivery (Helm or Kustomize); comfortable working inside a shared platform where another team owns provisioning.
Exposure to mobile CI/CD: signing credentials and secret handling for iOS and Android, store submission, and the constraints of macOS build agents. Native app development experience is welcome but not required.
Security-conscious approach (DevSecOps): comfortable owning vulnerability triage and remediation; securing pipelines and supply chain.
Practical experience with monitoring/observability tooling and an SRE mindset toward reliability, incident response, and continuous improvement; strong communication and Agile/Scrum familiarity (Jira, Confluence).
