Description:

*This role is Hybrid and candidate must be local to HQ with a 2 days a week in office requirement.

The DevOps Engineer will join a 8 person Digital DevOps team and support the multiple Development/Experience Teams who are developing our next generation, Cloud-based banking system. While there will be some operations related tasks, the focus of this DevOps position is more on the Dev side of DevOps. By that we mean their primary focus will be on providing Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CI) support to ensure that Azure repos/pipelines are working properly and that Development Team CI/CD issues get resolved quickly so that maximum efficiency/velocity can be maintained. We are also in the process of the migrating our Cloud-based banking system from Tanzu/PCF platform to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and anticipate the resource participating in related activities and providing day-to-day support to the Development teams as we make that transition.

Key skill sets include:

• Demonstrated hands-on experience with creating/maintaining pipelines (preferably using Azure DevOps) for multiple environments
• Experience with Kubernetes and the use of Helm Charts (a Kubernetes deployment tool for automating the creation, packaging, configuration, and deployment of services to Kubernetes clusters)
• Ability and experience reading code (particularly front-end code technologies such as Node.JS, Angular, and other JavaScript languages) in order to help Development team engineers troubleshoot and resolve issues associated with their code, code integration, and their code repositories/pipelines

We believe that in addition to pure DevOps Engineers, front-end software engineers who have worked in an Azure environment and used Azure DevOps for CI/CD activities could effectively perform in our DevOps Eng position. So, if there are front-end software engineers who are looking for a change and interested in becoming an Azure DevOps Engineer, we would consider their resumes as well.
