%Remote --DevOps Architect


Role Summary
The DevOps Architect is a senior-level leader responsible for designing, implementing, and governing the entire CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) ecosystem. This role defines the technical blueprint and strategic roadmap for highly available, scalable, and secure cloud-native platforms, bridging the gap between development and operations teams and championing the culture of automation and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities
1. Architecture and Strategy
Design & Govern Platform: Define the overall DevOps framework, toolchain, and infrastructure architecture to support high-speed, reliable, and secure software delivery across multiple environments (Dev, Test, UAT, Prod).

Trend Focus: Prioritize Platform Engineering principles to create self-service capabilities for development teams.

Cloud Strategy: Lead the strategic adoption and optimization of a specific cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform), focusing on hybrid and multi-cloud strategies where necessary.

Performance & Resilience: Design for high availability, disaster recovery (DR), and performance optimization for mission-critical applications, defining Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs).

2. Automation and CI/CD
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Establish and enforce standards for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation/ARM Templates.

GitOps Implementation: Drive the adoption of GitOps principles, treating Git as the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure configuration.

CI/CD Pipeline Ownership: Design, build, and maintain robust, automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) to automate build, test, and deployment.

3. Security and Observability
DevSecOps: Embed security practices and automated security testing ("Shift Left" Security) into every stage of the pipeline, including Static/Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST).

Observability: Architect comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Jaeger) to ensure end-to-end visibility and enable proactive AIOps/Predictive Incident Management.
