DevOps Senior Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Dev Ops Engineer with strong Harness.io, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and platform automation experience to lead application migrations from Jenkins and Git Hub Actions into standardized Harness CI/CD structures.

This is a highly hands-on technical role. The engineer will establish reusable Harness patterns, solve complex migration challenges, optimize CI/CD performance, and provide technical direction to other engineers executing application migrations.

The environment includes Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications deployed across AWS and on-premise datacenter infrastructure, with Kubernetes, Helm, Open Tofu/Terraform, Ansible, and Git Ops forming key components of the delivery ecosystem.

Lead the technical migration of Jenkins and Git Hub Actions workflows into Harness.

Assess existing pipelines, shared libraries, actions, integrations, credentials, runners, and deployment processes.

Design and implement reusable Harness steps, step groups, stages, pipelines, and templates.

Establish standards for Harness pipeline architecture, template reuse, inputs, variables, secrets, approvals, and deployment patterns.

Develop migration patterns that simplify and standardize existing CI/CD implementations rather than simply reproducing legacy pipelines.

Design CI/CD patterns supporting Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications.

Establish and support Git Ops-based application and infrastructure delivery.

Design and maintain reusable Helm charts and Kubernetes deployment patterns.

Develop and integrate Infrastructure as Code using Open Tofu/Terraform.

Develop and integrate configuration automation using Ansible.

Support delivery across AWS, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and traditional on-premise datacenter environments.

Troubleshoot complex pipeline, build, infrastructure, networking, and deployment issues.

Optimize pipeline performance, reliability, caching, parallelization, resource utilization, and failure diagnostics.

Design self-service and reusable delivery capabilities that reduce application-team onboarding effort.

Establish appropriate CI/CD governance, security, approval, and policy controls.

Conduct pipeline, template, IaC, and automation reviews.

Mentor Dev Ops engineers and provide technical direction for migration activities.

Partner with application, infrastructure, cloud, architecture, and security teams to resolve migration dependencies and technical blockers.

6+ years of hands-on Dev Ops, CI/CD, platform engineering, SRE, build/release engineering, or infrastructure automation experience.

Strong hands-on experience designing and operating enterprise CI/CD platforms.

Practical Harness.io CI/CD experience, including pipeline and template development.

Strong experience with Jenkins pipelines and migration/modernization activities.

Experience with Git Hub Actions and Git-native CI/CD workflows.

Strong understanding of Git, branching/release strategies, and Git Ops principles.

Advanced YAML and configuration-as-code skills.

Strong experience with Terraform and/or Open Tofu, including reusable module development.

Strong experience with Ansible, including roles and playbooks.

Strong hands‑on Kubernetes and Helm experience.

Experience designing and maintaining reusable Helm charts.

Strong working knowledge of AWS infrastructure and application delivery.

Experience supporting hybrid cloud and on-premise datacenter environments.

Strong Linux, scripting, and command‑line troubleshooting skills.

Working knowledge of build, packaging, and dependency-management patterns for Java, Go, Node.js, and Python.

Experience with containers, artifact repositories, and container registries.

Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose complex CI/CD and…
