Employment Type : Full-time

Job Overview :

We’re looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to design, build, and manage Kubernetes-based deployments for a microservices data discovery platform.

Mandatory Skills :

✅ Helm, Kubernetes, Docker

✅ Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitOps

✅ Cloud Networking (VPCs, bare metal vs. VMs)

Key responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Services (Azure Pipelines) and Git-based workflows.

• Implement and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using ARM templates, Bicep, and/or Terraform for repeatable environment provisioning.

• Containerize applications (Docker) and manage container orchestration platforms such as AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service).

• Automate build, test, release, and rollback processes; integrate automated testing and quality gates into pipelines.

• Monitor and improve platform reliability and observability using logging and monitoring tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana).

• Drive platform security and compliance through pipeline controls, secrets management (Key Vault / Vault), and secure configuration practices.

• Implement cost-optimization and governance for Azure resources (tags, policies, budgets).

• Troubleshoot build/release failures, production incidents, and performance bottlenecks; perform root-cause analysis and implement permanent fixes.

• Mentor developers in Git workflows, pipeline authoring, best practices for IaC, and cloud-native design.

• Maintain clear documentation: runbooks, deployment playbooks, architecture diagrams, and pipeline templates. 

Required skills & experience

• 4+ years hands-on experience working with Azure and cloud-native application delivery.

• Deep experience with Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts, Boards).

• Strong IaC skills with Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep.

• Solid experience with CI/CD design and YAML pipeline authoring.

• Practical knowledge of containerization (Docker) and Kubernetes — preferably AKS.

• Scripting skills: PowerShell, Bash, and/or Python for automation.

• Experience with Git workflows (branching strategies, PRs, code reviews).

• Familiarity with configuration management and secrets management (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault).

• Understanding of networking, identity (Azure AD), and security fundamentals in Azure.

• Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and incident response skills.

• Good collaboration and communication skills; ability to work across teams.
