• You will standardize and streamline build and release pipelines through Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CICD).
• The position requires configuring and administering platforms and services.
• You will support operational activities by ensuring platforms and infrastructure for pipelines are optimal, recoverable, and easily scalable to meet capacity demands.
• The role includes providing incident management oversight, including root cause analysis, stakeholder communications, post-mortems, and managing preventative measures and resolutions.
• You will be actively involved in regular deployments of platform and pipeline artifacts to ensure frequent and incremental value delivery while avoiding unnecessary accumulation of technical or operational debt.
• Ensuring security, high availability, and disaster recovery will always be a priority.
• Continuous monitoring of cost and risk to reduce and mitigate will be part of your responsibilities.
• You will ensure production and non-production environments stay in sync through the alignment of stable standards, code, and configurations.
• Identifying relevant emerging trends and building compelling cases for adoption, such as tool selection, will be expected.
• You will be involved in Proofs of Concept (PoCs), prototypes, and innovation spikes to seek directional outcomes.
• Engaging in peer reviews of your code and reviewing other engineers’ code will be part of your duties.
• You will help define and champion strategies and best practices to support best-in-class engineering practices and operational efficiency for all services.
• Mentoring and supporting other engineers to grow a collaborative environment will be essential.
• Identifying and assessing risk, reliability, and/or uncertainty in design, systems, or processes, including the impact of change, will be required.

Requirements:

• Experience with vulnerability management and code-inspection tooling, such as Snyk or SonarQube, is required.
• You should possess an “automation-first” mindset when building solutions, considering self-healing and fault-tolerant methods to minimize manual intervention and downtime.
• The ability to work autonomously in an environment of constant change is necessary.
• Experience in building and maintaining an API-led event-driven architecture, such as using Azure Event Grid or Azure Functions, is desirable.
• Familiarity with cluster image container management, such as Azure Container Registry, is desirable.
• A good understanding of network configuration, including DNS, Routing, VPN, Firewalls, and Endpoint management, is desirable.
• Experience in including vulnerability management within deployment pipelines for package dependencies and containers is desirable.
• Experience in implementing custom Data Observability and capturing telemetry to understand the health of data and pipelines better is desirable.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure DevOps is desirable.

Benefits:

• You will be part of a multinational technology consulting firm that helps companies scale their operations and achieve technology innovation.
• The company offers a collaborative environment with a team of over 500 engineers from around the world.
