Containers & Kubernetes Build, deploy and support containerised applications using Docker and Kubernetes. Manage Kubernetes environments, particularly Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Develop and maintain deployment configurations using Helm. Support container-platform reliability, scalability and operational performance. Open Shift experience would be advantageous. Infrastructure as Code & Automation Hands‑on Experience With Technologies Such As Terraform Bicep ARM Templates Ansible Monitoring & Observability Implement comprehensive logging, monitoring, metrics, tracing and alerting. Build operational dashboards and platform insights. Establish enterprise observability standards. Implement proactive and predictive monitoring. Use observability information to improve application and infrastructure reliability. Relevant Technologies May Include Dynatrace Grafana Prometheus Elastic Stack / ELK Splunk Azure Monitor Open Telemetry Dev Sec Ops & Security Embed Dev Sec Ops practices throughout the software-delivery lifecycle. Integrate security scanning and controls into CI/CD pipelines. Support vulnerability identification, remediation and risk reduction. Ensure cloud and platform environments comply with enterprise security and regulatory requirements. Work closely with information-security teams to continuously improve platform security. Technical Leadership Provide technical leadership across Dev Ops, Cloud, Platform and SRE teams. Mentor and coach junior and intermediate engineers. Contribute to architecture decisions and technology roadmaps. Promote engineering standards and operational best practice. Lead cross-functional initiatives aimed at improving engineering productivity and reliability. Minimum Experience 8+ years' experience across software engineering, infrastructure engineering, cloud engineering, Dev Ops or platform engineering. 5+ years' hands-on Dev Ops engineering experience. 3+ years' Site Reliability Engineering or production-operations experience. Proven experience supporting mission-critical production systems. Experience operating large-scale enterprise technology platforms. Strong exposure to highly available and business-critical environments.
