Contract: 6 months, with strong potential for extension
Location & Work Model: Galway, Hybrid
Rate: €550-€600 per day
Join a leading global financial services organisation as a Principal DevOps Engineer, shaping the future of cloud infrastructure, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role focused on AWS, Kubernetes, GitOps and AI-powered automation-not simply build and release pipelines.
You'll help engineer highly available, resilient platforms while improving developer productivity and operational excellence across a fast-paced engineering environment.
Lead the design and adoption of SRE, GitOps and platform engineering practices, improving reliability, scalability and developer experience.
Architect and operate cloud-native solutions on AWS and Kubernetes, including infrastructure modernisation and migration.
Design and enhance enterprise CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code and self-service Internal Developer Platforms using tools such as Terraform, Jenkins, Argo CD and Flux CD.
Drive observability, incident management, root cause analysis and resilience engineering across mission-critical distributed systems.
Introduce AI-assisted engineering, AIOps and emerging agentic workflows to automate operational tasks, reduce manual effort and improve delivery outcomes.
Extensive DevOps/SRE experience, ideally 9+ years, with the technical leadership and communication skills to influence engineering teams and stakeholders.
Strong hands-on expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, cloud-native architecture and distributed systems.
Proven experience with GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, including tools such as Argo CD, Flux CD, Jenkins and progressive delivery solutions.
Strong automation and Infrastructure as Code skills using Python, Shell scripting, Terraform, CloudFormation or Ansible.
Experience with observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk or OpenTelemetry, alongside an interest in AI-assisted development, AIOps and operational automation.
Experience building Internal Developer Platforms, applying chaos engineering or implementing AI-driven operational workflows would be advantageous.
If you're a senior DevOps or SRE engineer who enjoys shaping platform strategy while remaining hands-on with complex engineering challenges, we'd like to hear from you. Apply today to discuss this opportunity.
