Job Description This is a remote position. We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team and for designing, managing, and continuously evolving the infrastructure platforms that support our development and business teamsThe mission involves designing, maintaining, and continuously evolving infrastructure through code and automation, with Azure as our primary cloud platform. The Engineer will work across our infrastructure and platform ecosystem, using technologies such as Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, Kubernetes/AKS, Argo CD, Vault, and other tools. The role focuses on building scalable, reliable, and automated infrastructure, helping development, operations, and testing teams adopt modern and self-service approaches to provisioning, deploying, and operating their workloads. Responsibilities: • Work closely with internal and external stakeholders, developers, and other teams to ensure timely and high-quality deliverables. • Design, implement, and continuously evolve Infrastructure as Code solutions. • Automate infrastructure and system provisioning, configuration, and operational tasks using Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, and scripting. • Develop reusable modules, automation, and golden paths that enable development teams to provision and consume infrastructure through self-service mechanisms. • Continuously improve the infrastructure platform, reducing manual processes, operational toil, and technical debt. • Implement and improve CI/CD pipelines and automation to support infrastructure and application delivery. • Manage and evolve our Azure cloud infrastructure and services, ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and cost efficiency. • Contribute to the management and evolution of our Kubernetes / AKS environment as part of the wider infrastructure platform. • Design, develop, and implement new platform capabilities that improve quality, reliability, scalability, and developer experience. • Promote Cloud Native, DevOps, SRE, and Infrastructure as Code best practices across teams. • Maintain cost efficiency and promote FinOps principles across infrastructure and cloud platforms. • Analyse, troubleshoot, and resolve complex infrastructure and platform incidents, ensuring root causes are addressed and recurrence is avoided. • Implement code review, testing, validation, and quality mechanisms for infrastructure and automation code. • Promote a culture where infrastructure and operational processes are managed through version-controlled code rather than manual provisioning and administration.
