Key Responsibilities

CI/CD and Automation Leadership

Take ownership of designing, building, and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines that enable seamless application and infrastructure deployments. Leverage tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions to automate workflows, reducing manual interventions and accelerating release cycles for development teams.

Cloud Infrastructure Management

Automate and manage cloud environments across AWS, Azure, or GCP using Infrastructure as Code principles with Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates. Optimize resources for cost-efficiency, scalability, and performance while implementing disaster recovery strategies to ensure business continuity.

Containerization and Orchestration

Support and scale containerized platforms with Docker for building images and Kubernetes for orchestration. Deploy microservices architectures, manage clusters, and integrate service meshes to handle complex, high-traffic workloads reliably.

Monitoring, Logging, and Security

Implement comprehensive logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or CloudWatch. Proactively monitor system performance, availability, and reliability, while enhancing security postures through vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and zero-trust models.

Collaboration and Incident Response

Partner closely with development, QA, and operations teams to streamline build and release processes. When issues arise, lead troubleshooting efforts, incident response, and post-mortem analyses to prevent recurrence. Maintain meticulous documentation, runbooks, and operational standards for knowledge sharing.

Required Qualifications

To succeed in this DevOps Engineer role, candidates should possess:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or cloud operations.
• Expertise in IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and related container technologies.
• Strong skills in monitoring/alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk) and scripting (Python, Bash).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, agile methodologies, and security best practices.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent; relevant certifications (AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKAD) preferred.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and resolve production incidents swiftly.

Robert Half values diverse backgrounds and encourages applications from those with a passion for automation and cloud innovation.
