Job Duration: Long Term 

Note: Need to go Face to Face Interview

Job Description:

•  Design, build, configure, and maintain on-premises bare-metal infrastructure to support container platforms, CI/CD tooling, databases, and messaging systems.

•  Operate CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows.

•  Build and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure consistent, repeatable, and secure environments across development, test, and production.

•  Implement secure deployment patterns for cloud-based, containerized, and hybrid environments, supporting both single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures.

•  Configure and manage container platforms and orchestration systems (e.g., Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker), with a strong focus on runtime security, image governance, and operational stability on bare-metal on-prem infrastructure.

•  Design, deploy, and operate DevSecOps tooling and automation that supports PostgreSQL databases, including secure configuration, backup, monitoring, and performance considerations.

•  Collaborate closely with development, infrastructure, and security teams to improve production readiness.

•  Support event-driven and asynchronous architectures by integrating and operating messaging and streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka, including secure pipeline integration and operational monitoring.

•  Collaborate with Application and Operations teams to ensure secure, reliable CI/CD workflows for services that depend on relational databases and messaging systems.

•  Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to support observability, performance tuning, and security detection.

•  Work directly with application developers to troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, and environment-related problems.

•  Apply cloud security best practices, including identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, and secrets management.

•  Maintain operational documentation, runbooks, and technical standards related to DevSecOps tooling and processes.

•  Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced engineers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.

•  Continuously identify opportunities to improve automation, reliability, security posture, and developer experience.

•  Perform job duties in a safe manner and attend work as scheduled on a consistent and regular basis.

•  Perform other related duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

•  Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

•  Ability to obtain and maintain any required certifications or licenses.

•  5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or a related engineering role.

•  Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

•  Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

•  Strong hands-on experience with container platforms and orchestration technologies, including Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes (and container tooling such as Docker).

•  Hands-on knowledge of application and cloud security tools, including SAST, DAST, vulnerability scanners, and SIEM platforms.

•  Hands-on experience supporting relational databases, with a strong preference for PostgreSQL, in cloud-native or containerized environments.

•  Practical experience working with distributed messaging or streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka, including integration with application pipelines and operational troubleshooting.

•  Ability to use AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT / enterprise AI assistants, or similar) to improve productivity in scripting, infrastructure automation, troubleshooting, and CI/CD pipeline development.

•  Ability to responsibly use AI tools while adhering to enterprise security, data protection, and compliance requirements.

•  Proficiency in scripting or automation languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.

•  Experience with monitoring and logging platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).

•  Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, OS, container platforms, and application layers in production environments.

•  Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional Engineering and Operations teams.
