Requirements
- Design and maintain the deployment strategy for SPAs and SSR applications, including CDN configuration, cache invalidation, and asset delivery.
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines across all services, with particular ownership of frontend application pipelines (build speed, caching, reliability, developer feedback loops).
- Build and maintain frontend-specific developer tooling: build configurations, local development environments, preview environments, and service templates.
- Establish and maintain golden paths for frontend service creation, ensuring new projects start with sensible defaults for builds, deploys, testing, and monitoring.
- Build and improve observability: monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and logging across all services, including frontend-specific observability (error tracking, performance monitoring, Core Web Vitals).
- Manage package management strategy: npm/yarn/pnpm configuration, internal package registries, dependency management, and security scanning.
- Collaborate with frontend engineers across all delivery pods to understand pain points and reduce friction in their workflows.
- Create and maintain self-service tooling, templates, and golden paths that enable delivery pods to work independently.
- Build, maintain, and improve our Kubernetes platform, including cluster management, workload reliability, and resource optimisation.
- Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for provisioning and managing cloud resources.
- Manage and evolve our GitOps workflows (FluxCD) for continuous delivery.
- Respond to infrastructure incidents, participate in on-call rotations, and contribute to post-incident reviews.
- Write clear documentation and runbooks so other engineers can understand and operate the infrastructure.
- Support delivery pods with infrastructure queries, troubleshooting, and guidance.
- Contribute to security hardening, cost optimisation, and capacity planning.
- Mentor other engineers on frontend build and deployment best practices.
- Occasionally embed with a delivery pod for a sprint to support a specific initiative.
