We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to design and implement robust engineering processes and platforms. This position requires a comprehensive understanding that DevOps extends beyond tooling to encompass effective collaboration among teams. The ideal candidate will be a critical link between development – infrastructure – security; architecting scalable, secure and repeatable solutions that enable rapid software delivery while maintaining high standard standards.

The role operates at a system-wide level: establishing best practices, shaping the software development lifecycle (SDLC), integrating security into pipelines, developing platforms that empower teams to work efficiently and safely. While hands-on technical involvement is required - the primary contribution of this role lies in architectural leadership, strategic decision-making and process optimization.

• Process & Platform Design
• Design and evolve end-to-end SDLC with built-in security, compliance and operational controls.
• Define where governance is mandatory and where it can be safely automated or delegated.
• Establish clear responsibility boundaries (RACI) between Dev, Ops, Security teams.
• Translate business and risk requirements into technical guardrails, not manual gates.
• Collaboration & Mentorship
• Act as a technical partner to development teams.
• Coach engineers on reliability, deployment safety and operational ownership.
• Facilitate cross-team discussions, turning conflicts into process improvements.
• Document architectural decisions, trade-offs and constraints in clear language.
•  CI/CD & Automation
• Architect and maintain CI/CD platforms that enable fast, reliable and low-risk deployments.
• Standardize pipelines and environments while allowing controlled flexibility for teams.
• Reduce manual work and operational toil through automation.
• Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture
• Own Infrastructure as Code as a single source of truth (Terraform).
• Design cloud architectures in Azure  and AWS with focus on reliability, scalability and cost awareness.
• Ensure environment parity across dev, staging, and production.
• Support containerized and Kubernetes-based platforms.
• Reliability & Observability
• Define and implement SLIs, SLOs and error budgets as a shared language between teams.
• Build observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) as a trust mechanism
• Lead incident response practices, including postmortems and systemic improvements.

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.
• Proven experience designing processes.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure, including Azure DevOps.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD architecture.
• Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Experience with containers and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Proficiency in automation/scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
• Experience with monitoring, logging and incident management practices.
• Ability to explain complex technical and security topics in simple non-confrontational language.
