DevOps Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Linux Server Management:
• Configure, deploy, and maintain Linux-based servers (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL) across on-premises and cloud environments.
• Optimize system performance, scalability, and reliability of Linux infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot and resolve server and system issues quickly and efficiently.

Kubernetes & Container Management:

• Deploy and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes for orchestration.
• Design, implement, and optimize Kubernetes clusters for high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
• Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containers using Kubernetes, Helm, and related tools.
• Troubleshoot and optimize containerized applications running in Kubernetes clusters.

Automation & Scripting:

• Develop and maintain automation scripts for server provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment using tools like Bash, Python, or Shell scripting.
• Implement and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Ansible, Terraform, or Puppet.
• Automate deployment pipelines and streamline continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes.

Cloud Technologies:

• Manage, optimize, and scale cloud infrastructure on major platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, ensuring cost-effective and efficient resource utilization.
• Implement cloud-native solutions by leveraging cloud services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, and other platform-specific tools to improve the deployment and operation of applications.
• Optimize cloud resources for performance, scalability, and cost management by using cloud monitoring and auto-scaling features
• Ensure compliance with cloud security best practices, including managing user access and maintaining cloud resource security through tools like IAM (Identity and Access Management) and encryption.
• Troubleshoot cloud-related infrastructure and application issues, collaborating with cloud service providers and internal teams to resolve them efficiently.
• Lead cloud migration efforts, helping transition legacy applications to the cloud and re-architecting them for cloud environments.
• CI/CD Pipeline Management:
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the building, testing, and deployment of applications.
• Integrate version control systems (Git, GitHub, GitLab) with deployment pipelines.
• Ensure smooth and consistent deployments across various environments (development, staging, production).
• Implement security best practices within the CI/CD pipeline, including static code analysis, dependency scanning, and vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate security risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and other security measures within the CI/CD pipeline to restrict unauthorized access to deployment environments.
• Monitoring & Performance Optimization:
• Implement monitoring and logging solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to track system health and performance.
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.
• Manage system backups and disaster recovery processes.

Collaboration & Support:

• Work closely with development, QA, and IT teams to ensure smooth operations and resolve issues quickly.
• Provide technical support for troubleshooting issues across the development lifecycle and production systems.
• Maintain system documentation and knowledge sharing for best practices.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Experience: 3-4 years of experience in DevOps engineering with strong Linux system administration experience.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Linux server management (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL).
• Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Helm.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python, Shell).
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI).
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible.
• Experience with monitoring and logging solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).

Soft Skills:

• Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong collaboration and communication abilities.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure and handle multiple tasks simultaneously.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certifications in DevOps, Linux (RHCSA, RHCE), or Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD), or cloud platforms (AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator) are a plus.
• Familiarity with microservices architecture and cloud-native applications.
• Exposure to Agile methodologies and version control systems (Git).

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
• Opportunities for professional development and certifications
• A collaborative and inclusive work environment
