Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Integration Engineer to take ownership of designing, automating, and integrating modern CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and platform tooling.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on building scalable, resilient DevOps solutions that improve deployment speed, platform reliability, and engineering efficiency across multiple teams. If you like solving complex automation problems and making pipelines purr rather than scream, you’ll feel at home here.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain enterprise-scale CI/CD pipelines across multi-service environments
• Integrate build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows
• Automate cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
• Build and manage container platforms using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE)
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting integrations
• Collaborate with engineering, SRE, and security teams to embed DevOps best practices
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures, environment inconsistencies, and integration issues
• Drive continuous improvement, performance optimisation, and platform resilience
• Produce clear documentation, automation standards, and reusable tooling

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Solid cloud engineering experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Deep Infrastructure as Code expertise (Terraform highly preferred)
• Kubernetes and container orchestration experience
• Strong Scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell)
• Good understanding of DevSecOps practices (SAST, DAST, secrets management, code scanning)
• Excellent troubleshooting and systems integration skills

Nice to Have

• Cloud/DevOps certifications (Azure DevOps Engineer, AWS DevOps Pro, CKA)
• Experience with API integration, service automation, or event-driven pipelines
• Familiarity with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk)
• Experience with GitOps tooling (ArgoCD, Flux)
