• Lead efforts around containerization (Docker) and image curation (Packer).

• Guide teams on best practices in software delivery, version control, environment management, and deployment orchestration.

• Maintain and optimize build and release pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Azure DevOps.

• Provide thought leadership around cloud architecture and deployment strategies across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Contribute to operational support through incident troubleshooting, performance tuning, and system monitoring.

• Evaluate and integrate DevOps tooling and vendor solutions to stay ahead of industry trends.

• Ensure robust cloud security practices are implemented and maintained.

• Create clear and thorough documentation for operational processes, infrastructure, and pipelines.

Qualifications Required:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.

• 6+ years of experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, or similar.

• Deep knowledge of IaC and configuration management using Terraform and Ansible.

• Experience with scripting languages like Python, JavaScript, or Shell.

• Proficiency in Docker and container orchestration workflows.

• Strong understanding of networking, system security, and cloud infrastructure services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, IAM).

• Experience managing enterprise build systems (NuGet, Maven, Gradle).

• Familiarity with agile methodologies and tools like Jira, Kanban boards, and Scrum workflows.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred:

• Experience using Packer for machine image creation.

• Familiarity with observability tools such as Elastic, Splunk, or Datadog.

• Experience in highly regulated environments (PCI-DSS, SOC 2).

• Prior leadership or mentorship experience within DevOps or infrastructure teams.

• Experience with hybrid cloud and on-premises systems.

• Knowledge of virtualization platforms like VMware or Hyper-V.

What You’ll Get

• Opportunity to build and lead a high-impact DevOps function
