Lead Dev Ops Engineer: PGIM Ireland

Responsibilities

• What you can expect
• This role focuses on CI/CD, platform engineering, and operational excellence across on-prem, AWS, and Azure
• Will work closely with development teams to understand their design/challenges, propose technical solutions, and assist with implementation of systems.
• Develop automated infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, source code management and new ways to operate and collaborate; implement Infrastructure as Code using CloudFormation and Terraform.
• Use role-relevant languages and frameworks such as Python, Shell/PowerShellplus Groovy/JavaScript as needed for pipeline automation.
• Implement GitOps-based deployment patterns and environment promotion workflows; establish guardrails for configuration, secrets, and change management across environments.
• Partner with engineering and leadership on FinOps practices: cost allocation/tagging standards, budget alerts, showback/chargeback reporting, rightsizing and scheduling, and optimization of compute/storage/network spend.
• Drive DevSecOps and Security Operations alignment by partnering with security teams on detection and response (triage, containment, postmortems), improving platform hardening and access controls, and ensuring audit-ready logging and monitoring.
• Define and operationalize SRE practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, on-call readiness, runbooks, automated remediation, and service health dashboards leveraging modern observability tooling.
• In addition to deep technical expertise and engineering mindset, you will bring excellent problem solving, communication and teamwork skills, along with agile ways of working, strong desire to new tools and technology and an inclusive attitude!

Requirements

• 10+ years of proven experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering
• Strong experience with deploying, managing and monitoring services in AWS/Azure
• Has hands-on experience using source control (Git, GitHub) and feature branching strategies
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms with GitHub Actions as the primary automation layer (workflow-as-code, reusable workflows/actions, runners, environment protections), plus familiarity integrating or migrating from legacy tooling (e.g., Jenkins) as needed.
• Understands networking, DNS, routing and messaging, especially between services
• Experience with microservices and designing observability (metrics, logs, traces) for production services.
• Working knowledge of cloud security and SecOps processes (IAM, key management, logging/monitoring, vulnerability remediation, incident response) and ability to embed security controls into workflows.
• Experience applying FinOps concepts in AWS/Azure (cost visibility, tagging, budgeting, forecasting, rightsizing, reserved capacity/savings plans) and communicating cost drivers to engineering stakeholders.
• Ability to speak to SDLC best practices and industry trends.
• Familiarity with various Software Engineering domains:
• Software development processes (Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, Shell, Infrastructure-as-Code, Configuration-as-Code)
• Issue tracking and versioning (Jira)
• Package managers (pip, npm) and Build tools (Gradle, Maven)
• Containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure/config deployment tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible).
• Artifact repositories (e.g., Artifactory, Nexus, GitHub Packages)
• CI/CD platform : Jenkins & GitHub Actions
• GitHub Actions patterns: workflow-as-code (YAML), reusable workflows/actions, runner strategy, environment protections/approvals, secrets + OIDC cloud auth, and artifacts/caching.
• Cloud container platforms: Amazon EKS/ECS and ECR; Azure AKS and ACR (including image scanning/signing where available).
• Continuous delivery & GitOps tooling (e.g., Argo CD, Flux) and Helm/Kustomize-based configuration management.
• Cloud-native identity, secrets, and configuration: AWS IAM/KMS/SSM Parameter Store/Secrets Manager; Azure Entra ID, Key Vault, and App Configuration.
• Cloud monitoring/logging: AWS CloudW
