The role

Give your career a fresh start and keep growing professionally at Mapfre Tech! You'll join an international environment where you can innovate by working on global projects focused on the latest technology trends. All of this in a flexible, agile setting surrounded by excellent professionals from around the world... Are you ready?

At Mapfre, we are looking for a very hands-on Senior Engineer, who will ensure that our Cloud, Automation, DevOps, and AIOps environments operate with high availability, security, and optimal performance. The main focus of the role will be Azure, to work on the migration of LATAM —19 countries— to Azure, and for the evolution of core projects that will also move to Azure.

On a day-to-day basis, you will manage the operating model for these platforms: availability and performance, updates and patches, access management, incident support, observability, capacity, and automation. You will work within Cloud Enablement, side by side with the Engineering Platform, Security, Architecture, and Development teams to define best practices and remove friction from delivery, evolving operations from a model centered on Jenkins and GitHub toward a more agile, automated, and AIOps-based approach.

What you'll do

Ensure end-to-end operation of automations and CI/CD environments: availability, performance, capacity, continuity, and support.

Administer and evolve the Jenkins platform: version control, plugins, agents/runners, credentials, shared libraries, and hardening.

Administer GitHub at the corporate level: organizations, repositories, policies, permissions, branching, protection, auditing, and lifecycle.

Define and maintain the operating model: monitoring/alerting, logs, runbooks, on-call (if applicable), SLAs/SLOs, and problem management.

Manage changes, patches, and upgrades with a focus on stability and security, coordinating windows and communications.

Ensure integration with corporate services: SSO, identity and access management, secret management, proxy/network, and observability tools.

Drive automation (IaC and scripting) for repeatable deployments, consistent environments, and reduced manual work.

Define standards and "guardrails" for pipelines: best practices, templates, reuse, supply chain security, and quality.

Support development teams: guidance, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

Measure and report KPIs: Availability, execution times, reliability, adoption, developer experience, and efficiency.

How you'll work

The position will be based at our offices in Las Tablas, Madrid.
