Role OverviewThe Dev Ops Engineer is responsible for developing, configuring, and managing application servers and associated software. This role ensures optimal system performance, stress testing, efficient resource utilization, and supports customers on projects involving software and network architecture. Responsibilities include configuring new applications, maintaining existing programs, troubleshooting infrastructure and network issues, and providing client data for debugging and testing. The position also plays a critical role in implementing and supporting monitoring applications, enhancing customer network installations, and driving continuous improvements to applications while supporting business and testing needs.
Key Responsibilities- Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines using Terraform, Ansible, Bicep, or Pulumi.
- Design, create and manage Kubernetes clusters (AKS/on-prem) and Docker environments.
- Architect, maintain, and evolve CI/CD pipelines for scalability and integration using Git Hub Actions and Azure Dev Ops.
- Develop, configure, and manage application servers and services; monitor performance and optimize resource usage (CPU, memory, storage, network I/O).
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize Azure-based hybrid infrastructure, including Databricks and Timescale
DB. - Provide architecture feedback on software and network designs; implement new applications and maintain/update existing programs.
- Architect and troubleshoot networking components, firewalls, wireless connectivity, and ensure secure configurations.
- Collaborate with platform and security teams to ensure compliance, resilience, and scalability, including SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Organize and facilitate desktop exercises and participate in risk assessments/readiness reviews.
- Participate in code reviews to analyze and improve code written by other vendors or team members.
- Champion initiatives for monitoring, observability, and cost efficiency across infrastructure and applications to drive Fin Ops/cost optimization initiatives.
- Work closely with R&D, software architects, developers, and QA testers to deliver robust software solutions.
- Develop and maintain relationships with key contacts, including vendors and clients, ensuring open and healthy feedback channels.
- Coordinate customer-specific software version deployments, upgrades, and related activities utilizing project and task management tools.
- Assist in the preparation of user, technical, or other quality documentation and reports.
- Limited travel may be required for performing equipment tests, software installation and troubleshooting, and customer training.
- 5+ years in Dev Ops, Site Reliability, or Systems Engineering roles supporting production systems.
- Deep experience creating, maintaining, and using CI/CD and IaC pipelines (Terraform/Bicep/Ansible/Pulumi; Git Hub Actions/Azure Dev Ops).
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (AKS and/or on-prem), Docker, and container orchestration.
- Practical knowledge of Azure services and running data platforms such as Databricks and Timescale
DB in hybrid environments. - Experience implementing observability/monitoring and cost optimization (cloud spend analysis, right-sizing, reserved instances).
- Familiarity with security frameworks (SOC 2 Type 2, NIST 800-53) and participating in audits, tabletop/desktop exercises, and risk assessments/readiness reviews.
- Experience with policy-as-code (e.g., OPA/Conftest), secrets management (Azure Key Vault), and secure supply chains (SBOM, artifact signing).
- Experience in industrial/monitoring platforms and edge-to-cloud data transport; familiarity with IEEE 1588/PTP time-synchronized systems is a plus for monitoring contexts.
- Exposure to Fin Ops practices and cost governance frameworks.
