This role designs, implements, and maintains our GitOps-driven cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes-based deployments. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Flux, Helm, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), GitHub Actions, and containerized workloads on Linux. They must communicate effectively with team members across multiple time zones and analyze complex problems to deliver effective solutions in a cloud-native context.\nResponsibilities:\nCollaborate with software developers and IT staff to oversee code releases and Kubernetes deployments across multiple environments (test, conversion, production-grade clusters).\nBuild and maintain GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows, including reusable workflows shared across the platform's service repositories.\nAuthor and maintain Helm charts and Flux Helm Release/Kustomization manifests that drive GitOps deployments to AKS.\nManage Azure infrastructure as code (Bicep) for AKS clusters, networking, Azure Container Registry (ACR), and Azure Key Vault.\nOperate secrets management using Azure Key Vault with the Secrets Store CSI Driver and workload/managed identity (federated, keyless auth).\nBuild and harden Docker images (multi-stage builds, distroless/Debian/Alpine bases, non-root users, gRPC health probes) and publish to ACR.\nMaintain Makefile-driven build, test, lint, and deploy targets that provide consistent semantics across Go and Java service repositories.\nConfigure and tune observability with OpenTelemetry collectors and Prometheus; support log, trace, and metric pipelines for platform services.\nEnforce platform governance: branch protection, conventional commits, secrets scanning (Gitleaks), SBOM/image scanning, and reusable workflow standards.\nMonitor and optimize cluster performance, scalability, cost, and security across multiple AKS environments.\nTroubleshoot incidents across the stack, from Flux reconciliation, ingress (Traefik), and pod networking down to JVM/GO runtime behavior.\nRequirements:\n4+ years of applicable work and/or technical experience.\nHands-on expertise with Azure cloud services, particularly AKS, Azure Container Registry, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Entra ID workload identity / federated credentials.\nStrong experience with GitOps using Flux v2 (HelmRelease, Kustomization, HelmRepository, and multi-environment value overlays).\nSolid experience authoring and operating Helm v3 charts (templates, value stratification per environment, and OCI chart repositories).\nFamiliarity with secrets-scanning workflows (gitleaks) and able to safely remove sensitive content from history when required.\nAble to coach others on Git best practices and review PRs not just for code quality but for commit structure and message clarity.\nInfrastructure-as-Code experience with Bicep (or Terraform/ARM with willingness to work in Bicep).\nFamiliarity with Go (1.26+) and/or Java 21 / Gradle build systems; able to read service code, debug build failures, and reason about runtime behavior.\nExperience with gRPC/Protobuf tooling (buf, protoc) is a plus.\nExperience with observability stacks (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) is a plus.\nFamiliarity with Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, or MS SQL Server in containerized environments is a plus.\nAzure certifications (e. g., AZ-104, AZ-400, Azure Solutions Architect) are a plus.\nExcellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug from YAML manifest down to application runtime.\nOutstanding organizational and time management skills.\nExcellent collaboration skills both within the team and across other teams, including comfort working with onshore counterparts across time zones.\nMust be self-motivated, able to work and learn independently, coachable, and committed to continuous learning.\nProven experience operating containerized workloads on Kubernetes (deployments, services, ingress, configmaps/secrets, probes, resource limits).\nHands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, including reusable workflows, self-hosted runners, OIDC federation to Azure, and concurrency/branch-protection patterns.\nComfortable writing and maintaining Makefiles as the primary build/test/lint orchestration layer.\nStrong Dockerfile authoring skills are required. Engineers are expected to write production-quality Dockerfiles, not just consume existing ones. Specifically:\nAuthoring multi-stage builds that produce minimal, hardened images (distroless, Debian Slim, or Alpine bases as appropriate).\nDisciplined layer ordering and caching to keep builds fast and reproducible; correct use of. dockerignore.\nImage hardening: running as a non-root user, dropping capabilities, avoiding shells where possible, pinning base images by digest, and configuring proper HEALTHCHECK / gRPC health probes.\nSafe handling of secrets and building context using --secret, BuildKit, and build args (never baking secrets into layers).\nComfortable debugging container builds and runtime issues using docker build --progress, docker run, docker exec, image inspection, and log review.\nStrong Ubuntu / Linux CLI skills are required. Day-to-day work happens in headless Linux environments (Ubuntu runners, container shells, AKS nodes), and engineers must be fully comfortable on the command line without graphical tools. Specifically:\nFluent with the core toolchain: bash, apt, systemd/systemctl/journalctl, ssh, scp, rsync, tar, curl, wget, and openssl.\nStrong text-processing skills with grep, sed, awk, cut, sort, uniq, xargs, find, jq, and yq.\nComfortable diagnosing system and network issues with ps, htop / btop, lsof, ss, netstat, dig, nslookup, nc, tcpdump, traceroute, and iptables basics.\nSolid understanding of Linux file permissions, ownership, environment variables, process management, signals, exit codes, and shell scripting (including writing reusable, defensively written Bash scripts with set -euo pipefail).\nAble to write and maintain shell scripts that are safe to run in CI pipelines and Makefile targets.\nStrong Git skills are required. The team enforces a strict commit and branching specification, and engineers are expected to maintain a clean, linear, and reviewable history. Specifically:\nFluency with advanced Git operations: interactive rebase (git rebase -i) to squash, reorder, reword, and fix up commits; cherry-picking; git bisect; reflog-driven recovery; and resolving non-trivial merge/rebase conflicts.\nDisciplined commit hygiene: small, atomic, logically scoped commits with well-written messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification (enforced via commitlint).\nComfortable working under branch protection rules (required status checks, required reviews, linear history, and signed commits) and able to keep feature branches up to date via rebase rather than merge commits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6957,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T11:02:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["seen:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T02:12:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3956,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1044,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3904854},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3904854"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fots-solutions-devops-engineer-azure"}]}
