• Maintain consistent, scalable development environments across the lifecycle (dev, staging, production).
• Manage internal Kubernetes clusters and optimize environments for performance and scalability.

Agile Delivery Enablement

• Support development teams in adopting DevOps practices that align with Agile delivery (e.g., trunk-based development, release on demand).
• Contribute to internal developer platforms and self-service models for deployment and testing.
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline to enable faster feedback loops.
• Promote continuous improvement through experimentation, tooling evolution, and iterative delivery practices.

Collaboration & Communication

• Work closely with developers, QA, architecture, and operations to enhance collaboration and flow.
• Act as a bridge across functions, enabling alignment between development and operations goals.
• Contribute to internal enablement efforts and knowledge-sharing practices.

Monitoring & Incident Management

• Implement monitoring and logging solutions for reliability and observability.
• Proactively identify and resolve infrastructure, deployment, and runtime issues.
• Support incident response and continuous improvement of system resilience.

Security & Compliance

• Apply security best practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
• Collaborate with security teams to integrate security checks (e.g., static analysis, vulnerability scanning) into the pipeline.
• Ensure systems align with internal compliance and governance standards.

We expect from you:

• DevOps & Automation: Proven experience applying DevOps practices in software development environments, with a focus on streamlining delivery through automation and continuous improvement.
• CI/CD & Version Control: Proficient in setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Git, enabling fast, reliable software delivery.
