Summary
L3/senior DevOps engineer who designs, builds and maintains GitLab CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code and automated AWS deployments, while troubleshooting complex pipeline and release issues and embedding security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) into delivery pipelines. Requires deep AWS automation experience and AWS DevOps Professional certification.
The Full Stack DevOps Engineer (L3) is an advanced engineering role responsible for designing, building, supporting and improving automated software and infrastructure delivery capabilities in AWS environments.
The primary objective of this role is to provide reliable CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC) and deployment automation while resolving complex pipeline, configuration and release issues without breaching agreed service requirements.
The Full StackDevOps Engineer (L3) focuses on GitLab CI/CD, IaC, Git, deployment automation, pipeline troubleshooting, configuration and release management, scripting, and integration of SAST, DAST, SCA and other security controls into delivery pipelines. AWS deployment experience is required.
This role may also contribute to or support project work as and when required.
Key Responsibilities:
. Designs, builds, maintains and improves GitLab CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure delivery. . Develops and maintains IaC components to support repeatable and controlled AWS deployments. . Uses Git-based workflows to manage source code, pipeline definitions, IaC and deployment artefacts. . Automates deployment activities and reduces manual effort across build, test, release and operational processes. . Investigates and resolves complex pipeline failures, integration issues and deployment errors. . Supports configuration and release management, including version control, release coordination and deployment validation. . Develops and maintains scripts and integrations required for delivery automation. . Integrates SAST, DAST, SCA and security controls into CI/CD pipelines and supports remediation workflows for identified findings. . Implements appropriate pipeline controls, approvals, logging and traceability for deployment activities. . Performs AWS deployments and troubleshoots issues across automated deployment workflows. . Documents pipeline architecture, deployment procedures, configuration dependencies and troubleshooting knowledge. .
