DevOps Architect

Role Overview :
    We are looking for a highly experienced Dev Ops Architect (10–12 years) to lead the end-to-end design and execution of Dev Ops solutions in Client Cloud environment. This is an onsite role requiring close collaboration with cross-functional teams to drive Dev Ops transformation, modernize CI/CD pipelines, ensure infrastructure automation, strengthen security, and optimize performance and cost. The ideal candidate will bring strong leadership, architectural depth, and hands-on capabilities in cloud-native and Dev Ops technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

Architect and lead the implementation of scalable, secure CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, and Jenkins tailored to enterprise-grade applications.
    Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy with Terraform, Bicep, and ARM templates, ensuring reusability, standardization, and Git Ops alignment.
    Integrate advanced security tools (SAST, DAST, IaC scanners) into the CI/CD process to implement shift-left security and automate compliance.
    Ensure robust secrets management and policy enforcement using Cloud Key Vault and policy-as-code frameworks across the pipeline lifecycle.
    Design and govern Cloud PaaS deployments with a focus on naming standards, tagging, access control, and cost optimization.
    Build and implement observability solutions using Cloud Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights to capture golden signals and enable real-time monitoring.
    Define and enforce enterprise identity governance through RBAC, Just-in-Time (JIT) access, Conditional Access, and MFA for cloud assets.
    Align Dev Ops frameworks with DORA metrics, SRE principles, and the Cloud Well-Architected Framework for reliability, security, and scalability.
    Conduct cost analysis and implement Fin Ops-driven automation for efficient resource usage and budget control.
    Lead the automation of incident response using Cloud Sentinel and define proactive remediation workflows.
    Perform cloud security assessments and implement security guardrails aligned with standards like CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001.
    Architect and manage identity models including service principals, managed identities, and enterprise SSO integrations.
    Drive vulnerability management processes for code, containers, and infrastructure components through continuous scanning and remediation.
    Standardize and enforce configuration baselines using compliance-as-code practices.
    Collaborate extensively with onsite development, security, and operations teams to embed Dev Ops best practices across the organization.
    Lead threat modeling, architecture reviews, and Dev Ops maturity assessments to drive continuous improvement.
    Implement automated compliance reporting and dashboards aligned with regulatory standards (PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, etc.) using Cloud Policy, Security Center, and KQL-based reporting.
    Enable platform engineering practices by building reusable pipelines, self-service deployment templates, and standardized environments for developers.
    Develop developer onboarding frameworks and golden paths that reduce time-to-market and increase platform reliability.
    Introduce resilience engineering practices and integrate chaos testing tools (e.g., Cloud Chaos Studio, Gremlin) to validate system robustness under failure conditions.
    Architect secure Cloud landing zones using Cloud Blueprints, ARM/Bicep templates, and Policy Assignments for scalable environment provisioning.
    Architect modern workloads using AKS, Cloud Functions, and Event Grid for scalable and loosely coupled deployments.
