• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines that support rapid, high-quality software delivery across multiple teams and environments.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks - build, test, release, and deployment workflows - to improve speed and consistency.
• Own release management processes including versioning, tagging, rollback strategies, and progressive delivery (canary, blue-green deployments).
• Integrate automated testing, code quality gates, and security scanning into delivery pipelines.
• Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture
• Architect, provision, and manage scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, or Azure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
• Design for high availability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency; regularly review and optimise cloud spend.
• Manage multi-environment setups (dev, staging, production) with environment parity and configuration management best practices.
• Evaluate and adopt new cloud-native services that align with business and engineering goals.
• Container Orchestration & Microservices
• Build and manage containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed clusters).
• Define standards for container image builds, registry management, security scanning, and image lifecycle.
• Implement and maintain service mesh, ingress, and networking solutions within Kubernetes environments.
• Drive adoption of Helm charts or Kustomize for consistent and repeatable Kubernetes deployments.
• Observability & Reliability
• Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack covering metrics, logs, and distributed tracing (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK/EFK, Jaeger, or equivalent).
• Define SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in partnership with engineering teams; lead SRE practices across the organisation.
• Lead incident response processes - on-call rotation, blameless post-mortems, and systematic reliability improvements.
• Proactively identify and address toil, bottlenecks, and single points of failure in the platform.
• Security & Compliance
• Embed security practices into infrastructure and pipelines - secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and vulnerability scanning.
• Ensure infrastructure compliance with relevant standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, PCI-DSS where applicable).
• Collaborate with the security team on audit readiness, penetration testing remediation, and security posture improvements.
• Implement and enforce IaC security scanning (Checkov, tfsec, or similar).
• Collaboration & Leadership
• Act as a technical lead and mentor for junior and mid-level DevOps/platform engineers.
• Define and document engineering standards, runbooks, architectural decision records (ADRs), and operational playbooks.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews; advocate for infrastructure and operational concerns early in the product lifecycle.
