DevOps Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented DevOps Engineer to join our engineering team. The successful candidate will be responsible for building, managing, and automating infrastructure, ensuring reliable CI/CD pipelines, and maintaining system performance across environments. You will play a critical role in enabling continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, observability, and security practices that support highly available, scalable, and secure applications. This role requires deep expertise in cloud platforms, containerization, automation, monitoring, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams. Your key responsibilities would include but not be limited to the following;

• CI/CD Development: Architect, implement, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, CircleCI, or ArgoCD to automate testing, building, and deployment processes.
• Cloud Infrastructure Management: Provision, configure, and manage cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Digital Ocean) with a focus on scalability, cost optimization, high availability, and security best practices.
• Containerization & Orchestration: Containerize applications with Docker and orchestrate with Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE), including advanced concepts such as Helm chart deployments, Kustomize templates, and cluster auto-scaling.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Implement and maintain infrastructure automation using Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or AWS CloudFormation, ensuring repeatable and version-controlled infrastructure provisioning.
• Monitoring & Observability: Establish robust monitoring, alerting, and logging systems using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK stack, Datadog, New Relic, or Splunk to ensure system reliability, uptime, and performance.
• Security & Compliance: Enforce DevSecOps best practices by integrating security into the development lifecycle, managing secrets with tools like Vault, SOPS, and AWS KMS, and implementing IAM, SSL/TLS, and firewall policies.
• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Design and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and failover strategies, ensuring business continuity and minimal downtime in case of outages or incidents.
• Collaboration & Enablement: Work closely with software developers, QA engineers, and product managers to optimize software delivery pipelines, reduce time-to-market, and enforce a culture of automation and reliability.
• System Administration & Networking: Manage Linux-based systems, networks, and services, including DNS, load balancing, VPNs, VPCs, and firewall configurations to ensure secure and efficient connectivity.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• Proven experience (3-5+ years) as a DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), or similar role.
