The Role

We are seeking a hands-on Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer to build and operate the delivery and runtime foundations for a portfolio of modern enterprise applications, workflow platforms and AI-enabled products.

This is not primarily an infrastructure-administration role. You will work directly with software engineers to create reliable, secure and automated paths from code to production.

You will own deployment automation, runtime reliability, observability, infrastructure-as-code and operational readiness across applications that integrate with critical enterprise systems.

What You Will Own

Platform & Infrastructure

  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
  • Design secure, repeatable environments across development, test, staging and production.
  • Manage containerized workloads and Kubernetes-based deployments where appropriate.
  • Define standard application deployment patterns for backend, frontend and AI services.
  • Implement secure secrets and configuration management.
  • Support network, identity and connectivity requirements for enterprise integrations.

CI/CD & Developer Productivity

  • Build automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Standardize build, test, security scanning and deployment processes.
  • Automate environment provisioning and configuration.
  • Reduce manual deployment steps and production configuration drift.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to improve release frequency and reliability.

Reliability & Observability

  • Establish logging, metrics, tracing and alerting.
  • Define service-level indicators and operational thresholds.
  • Build dashboards for system health and application performance.
  • Implement incident-response and production-support practices.
  • Design for graceful degradation, retries, failover and recovery.
  • Lead root-cause analysis of production incidents.

Security & Operational Controls

  • Implement least-privilege access and secure deployment patterns.
  • Support auditability of infrastructure and production changes.
  • Integrate security checks into delivery pipelines.
  • Work with security and infrastructure teams to meet enterprise control requirements.

Resilience

  • Support business continuity and disaster-recovery design.
  • Define backup, restore and recovery procedures.
  • Test operational recovery rather than relying solely on documented plans.

Required Experience

  • 6+ years in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering or cloud infrastructure.
  • Strong production experience with Azure, AWS or GCP; Azure strongly preferred.
  • Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi or equivalent.
  • CI/CD using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar.
  • Strong Linux and networking fundamentals.
  • Observability tooling and distributed-system troubleshooting.
  • Secure secrets, identity and access-management patterns.
  • Production incident-management experience.
  • Scripting/programming capability in Python, Go, Bash or equivalent.

Strong Advantage

  • Azure Kubernetes Service.
  • Azure Service Bus, API Management, Key Vault and related Azure services.
  • Enterprise integration platforms.
  • SAP-connected environments.
  • AI/LLM application deployment.
  • Regulated or government environments.
  • High-availability and disaster-recovery architecture.
