Senior DevOps​/CI​/CD Engineer – Ansible & Deployment Automation

We are looking for a CI/CD Engineer with deep, hands-on Ansible expertise to design and improve deployment automation in a highly regulated, safety-critical environment. You will join a rapidly growing team with a flat structure, where each engineer contributes to technical decisions and architecture. The ability to understand an existing environment quickly, propose sound solutions and become productive with limited onboarding support is essential.

You will be responsible for:

• Designing, developing, maintaining and optimising Ansible playbooks and automation solutions, with a strong focus on reliability, performance and maintainability.
• Using and improving Ansible Automation Platform to support robust, repeatable software deployments.
• Designing, implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for production and simulation applications.
• Managing and improving CI/CD environments based on Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, RHEL and Windows.
• Developing and maintaining scripts using Bash, Power Shell, Python and/or Ruby.
• Improving configuration management and deployment practices, including advanced Jenkins logic, Puppet modules, Git Ops and Gitflow workflows.
• Analysing deployment, integration and infrastructure issues and implementing sustainable corrective solutions.

• Quickly assessing deployment and automation challenges, proposing technical approaches and taking ownership of their implementation.
• Contributing actively to architectural decisions, explaining your recommendations and discussing trade-offs constructively with the team.
• Working with technical support teams and non-technical stakeholders to deliver understandable and reliable automation solutions.
• Once fully operational, occasionally supporting deployments outside standard working hours.

• You have deep, hands-on Ansible expertise: you have personally designed, written, maintained and troubleshot Ansible playbooks, beyond executing existing automation, and can explain your implementation choices, diagnose problems and improve performance, reliability and maintainability.
• You become productive quickly and can demonstrate experience taking ownership of an unfamiliar technical environment, identifying priorities and delivering results with limited guidance.
• You have strong technical judgement: you analyse problems quickly, propose clear approaches, explain trade-offs and confidently contribute to architectural decisions.
• You have practical experience with Ansible Automation Platform, including developing and maintaining automation solutions.
• You have strong CI/CD and deployment automation experience, with administrator-level proficiency in Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, RHEL and Windows.
• You have strong scripting skills in Bash, Power Shell, Python and/or Ruby.
• You have strong software design skills and experience with at least one major programming language, preferably Java or C++.
• You have experience with security considerations in complex cloud and on-premise network environments.
• You have at least 8 years of professional experience in Dev Ops or Software Engineering, with significant exposure to automation.
• You have at least 2 years of experience in a highly regulated environment, such as aerospace, finance or a comparable industry.
• You hold a degree in Computer Science or a related field, or have equivalent extensive professional experience.
• Experience with Rundeck, custom Puppet modules or advanced Jenkins logic is an asset.
• Knowledge of monorepository structures, Git Lab/Git Hub Actions and Runners, Git Ops and Gitflow is an asset.
• Familiarity with Agile and/or Waterfall delivery methodologies is an asset.

• You take initiative, work independently and remain accountable for the quality of your delivery.
• You grasp unfamiliar technical problems quickly and ask focused questions to establish the right approach.
• You express and defend your technical recommendations confidently while remaining open to feedback.
• You contribute to architecture and solution design alongside implementation.
• You collaborate effectively in a flat team where technical ownership is shared.
• You favour simple, maintainable solutions and address root causes rather than relying on short-term fixes.
• You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You work rigorously in environments where reliability,…
