Key Responsibilities

Building Scalable CI/CD Pipelines

• Develop and maintain robust Jenkins pipelines supporting multiple environments.
• Create modular shared libraries in Jenkins to support cross-team workflows
• Enable pipeline-as-code practices using Groovy and YAML configuration

Infrastructure Automation

• Automate infrastructure provisioning using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi
• Build and maintain container-based deployments with Docker and Kubernetes
• Monitor system health and ensure CI/CD uptime via Prometheus and Grafana

Release Management & Deployment

• Manage release orchestration across staging and production
• Collaborate with developers and QA teams to ensure stable deployment practices
• Implement rollback strategies and blue-green deployments for high availability

Security & Compliance

• Integrate security scans into the build pipeline (e.g., Snyk, Aqua, Trivy)
• Ensure pipeline steps comply with industry standards and audit requirements
• Maintain credential hygiene using Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or equivalent tools

Tools and Technologies

You will work in a cutting-edge toolchain optimized for performance, resilience, and developer empowerment:

• Jenkins (Declarative and Scripted Pipelines)
• Docker & Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or self-managed)
• Terraform & Ansible for IaC
• AWS, GCP, or Azure (multi-cloud exposure encouraged)
• Monitoring: Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, ELK Stack
• GitOps with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or Flux
• Python, Shell scripting, or Go for custom automation

Team and Work Environment

Work remotely with a globally distributed engineering team embracing asynchronous collaboration and DevOps best practices. Stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives are optimized for productivity across time zones. Expect a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and mutual respect where your contributions are valued.

• Remote-first culture with flexible hours
• Slack, Jira, and Notion as primary collaboration tools
• Biweekly engineering demos and cross-team knowledge-sharing
• Dedicated DevOps guild for architecture evolution and tool evaluation

Success Metrics

You’ll measure your success not just by uptime or deploy frequency, but by how seamlessly you empower the engineering teams. Success in this role includes:

• Reduction in pipeline execution time by 30 %+
• Increase in release frequency with fewer rollback incidents
• Automation of at least 90% of repetitive infrastructure tasks
• Consistent compliance with security scan benchmarks

Qualifications

Required Skills

• 5+ years in DevOps, including 2+ years working with Jenkins pipelines
• Strong command of IaC principles and configuration management
• Experience in deploying applications via Docker and Kubernetes
• Hands-on experience with any major cloud ecosystem such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure
• Deep knowledge of build tools, source control (Git), and artifact management

Desired Traits

• Proactive problem-solver who thrives on ownership
• Strong scripting ability (Bash, Python, or Go)
• Comfortable with observability tools and performance tuning
• Experience in debugging deployment issues and optimizing CI logic
• Solid understanding of GitOps and DevSecOps principles

Growth Opportunities

This role offers significant room for growth:

• Lead Jenkins infrastructure redesign projects
• Influence DevOps strategy across product lines
• Advance into Site Reliability Engineering or Platform Engineering
• Attend industry-leading DevOps conferences remotely or in person
• Participate in open-source tooling integrations
