• Maintain and optimize build and release pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Azure DevOps.
• Provide thought leadership around cloud architecture and deployment strategies across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Contribute to operational support through incident troubleshooting, performance tuning, and system monitoring.
• Evaluate and integrate DevOps tooling and vendor solutions to stay ahead of industry trends.
• Ensure robust cloud security practices are implemented and maintained.

• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, or similar.
• Deep knowledge of IaC and configuration management using Terraform and Ansible.
• Experience with scripting languages like Python, JavaScript, or Shell.

• Experience managing enterprise build systems (NuGet, Maven, Gradle).
• Familiarity with agile methodologies and tools like Jira, Kanban boards, and Scrum workflows.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred:

• Experience using Packer for machine image creation.
• Familiarity with observability tools such as Elastic, Splunk, or Datadog.
