We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience in designing, building, and managing CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps toolchains for enterprise-scale applications. The role requires strong hands-on expertise in infrastructure automation, pipeline engineering, containerization, cloud services, security integration, and full-stack development capabilities.
The candidate will be responsible for architecting and maintaining robust build and deployment pipelines, managing cloud infrastructure, embedding quality and security gates across the software delivery lifecycle, and collaborating closely with development, QA, architecture, and infrastructure teams to enable fast, reliable, and secure software delivery.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, build, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines supporting automated builds, testing, deployments, and release management using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and related tooling.
Set up, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, ensuring scalability, security, high availability, and cost optimization.
Implement and manage containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes for consistent and scalable application deployment across environments.
Architect and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar to enable repeatable, version-controlled infrastructure provisioning.
Integrate security scanning (SAST/DAST) and compliance checks into build and deployment pipelines to enforce DevSecOps practices across the delivery lifecycle.
Develop and maintain full-stack application components using .NET / C# and modern front-end technologies to support internal tooling, developer platforms, and automation dashboards.
Configure and manage artifact repositories, binary management, and dependency management using tools such as JFrog Artifactory and NuGet.
