Description

Descripción del puesto: Role Overview We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior DevOps Engineer to join a cross-regional delivery team modernizing and scaling CI/CD and cloud-native platform practices for mid-to-large-scale enterprise application stacks. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: you will own the build, release, and platform automation lifecycle end-to-end, working across Kubernetes-based environments to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure. The ideal candidate has deep experience operating in large-scale, complex delivery environments with strong end-to-end architecture exposure, and is comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems from discovery through resolution. Responsibilities ● Experience implementing and managing HashiCorp Vault for secrets and credentials management. ● Working knowledge of CSI (Container Storage Interface) for persistent storage in Kubernetes environments. ● Proficiency with Git, Docker, Ansible, and shell scripting; Python experience is desirable. ● Working knowledge of SQL and database integration. ● Experience with Jira and Confluence to support development and deployment processes. ● Demonstrated experience operating in large-scale, complex enterprise environments, with strong end-to-end architecture and delivery process exposure. Required Skills & Qualifications (Must-Have) ● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. ● 10+ years of overall IT experience, including 7+ years of hands-on DevOps experience. ● Proven, hands-on senior-level experience in DevOps, CI/CD, and release management for enterprise-scale applications. ● Strong expertise in CI/CD tooling, including Jenkins and GitHub Actions. ● Advanced, production-grade experience with Kubernetes, including cluster administration, workload management, and troubleshooting at scale. ● Hands-on experience with Helm for application packaging and deployment. Soft Skills ● Strong sense of ownership — takes accountability for outcomes across the CI/CD and delivery lifecycle. ● Proactive in identifying risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities before they impact delivery. ● Clear and effective communicator, able to work across cross-regional and cross-functional teams. ● Sound judgment in escalation management — knows when and how to raise blockers to the right stakeholders. ● Comfortable operating in large-scale, complex environments with broad end-to-end architecture and delivery exposure. ● Self-starter who adapts quickly to new tools, processes, and ambiguous situations. ● Collaborative team player who fosters knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement. Preferred Qualifications / Nice-to-Have ● Familiarity with Fabric. ● Experience with Agile methodologies and global, distributed team collaboration. ● Familiarity with distributed caching software such as Apache Ignite or GemFire. ● Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. ● Experience documenting and sharing DevOps best practices across teams. ● Work with cross-regional development teams to modernize and streamline CI/CD pipelines for mid-to-large-scale enterprise application stacks. ● Design, build, and maintain CI/CD workflows using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and release processes to reduce manual effort and increase delivery speed. ● Take ownership of the CI/CD and release management processes end-to-end, ensuring reliability, scalability, and continuous improvement. ● Administer and scale Kubernetes clusters at an advanced level, using Helm for application packaging, templating, and deployment. ● Implement and manage secrets and credentials using HashiCorp Vault, and configure CSI (Container Storage Interface) drivers for persistent storage in containerized environments. ● Enhance existing automation using Ansible and shell scripting, aligning infrastructure-as-code practices with evolving business needs. ● Collaborate with global teams to assess and improve current CI/CD and release workflows, ensuring seamless integration across development and operations. ● Manage the broader DevOps toolchain — Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Jira, and Confluence — to support development and deployment processes. ● Monitor pipelines and platform health, proactively troubleshooting issues and driving root-cause resolution. ● Act as a self-starter, comfortable tackling unknown-unknowns and leading initiatives to mature DevOps and platform engineering practices. ● Share knowledge and mentor team members to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
