DevOps Engineer / Sr. AWS Cloud Engineer – Multiple Roles

Key responsibilities

• Develop and refine continuous integration and deployment (CI / CD) pipelines that automate code builds, tests, and deployment to staging or production environments.
• Automate repetitive tasks to reduce manual intervention, increase deployment speed, and improve reliability.
• Oversee and improve version control processes, implementing effective branching and merging strategies.
• Use tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible to automate the setup and teardown of infrastructure, ensuring consistent environments across development, testing, and production.
• Provision and manage development and testing environments, ensuring they mirror production to avoid deployment surprises.
• Work closely with developers to integrate DevOps principles early in the development process, fostering a culture of shared responsibility and feedback.
• Assist with code integration, providing input on code quality, build processes, and best practices for maintaining an efficient development pipeline.
• Set up automated testing (unit, integration, performance tests) within the CI / CD pipeline, ensuring quick feedback on code quality.
• Use automated QA tools to ensure high standards for code quality, flagging potential issues early in the development process.
• Work with Docker or other container tools to standardize and package applications, ensuring they work seamlessly across environments.
• Use Kubernetes or similar tools to manage containerized applications, optimizing for reliability, scalability, and high availability in development and production stages.
• Set up monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track application performance, detect anomalies, and alert teams about potential issues early.
• Centralize and analyze logs using tools like ELK Stack or Splunk, helping diagnose issues and refine systems based on real-time data.
• Embed security checks in the CI / CD process to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production, ensuring robust DevSecOps practices.
• Ensure systems are compliant with relevant industry standards, such as GDPR, SOC2, and HIPAA, and manage access controls to sensitive environments.
• Continuously monitor and optimize application performance, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing database and resource usage.
• Enable auto-scaling and load balancing to manage peak loads, ensuring high availability without compromising on efficiency.
• Document infrastructure setup, deployment pipelines, and troubleshooting guidelines to ensure knowledge is preserved and shared effectively.
• Advocate for DevOps practices within the development team, sharing knowledge, and providing training where necessary.
