Software Engineer

YOUR IMPACT

This role will be responsible for maintaining a CI/CD pipeline. A strong candidate will have either a development background that translated into Operations or an Operations Engineer who has Development experience. Knowledge of python, Java/Groovy, or some major language is a requirement. This person should understand thoroughly how code goes from code commit to production. They should have a thorough understating on how to architect highly available infrastructure.

What The Role Offers

CI/CD Pipeline Management: Implement and maintain continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. Use tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD to automate the building, testing, and deployment of applications. Ensure that code changes can be tested and deployed quickly and reliably.

Infrastructure Automation: Utilize infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources. This includes virtual machines, containers, networking, and other cloud services.

Containerization: Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration tools like Kubernetes is crucial. Containerize applications, making them portable and consistent across different environments.

Monitoring and Logging: Implement monitoring solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) to track application and infrastructure performance. This ensures early detection of issues and helps maintain system reliability.

Security and Compliance: Ensuring the security of the entire software delivery lifecycle is a priority.

Work on implementing security best practices and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Collaboration: Effective communication and collaboration with development and operations teams are key. Help in breaking down silos and fostering a culture of shared responsibility.

Troubleshooting and Incident Response: When issues arise in production, play a role in diagnosing problems and assisting with incident response. Work to quickly identify root causes and implement solutions to prevent future occurrences.

Version Control: Proficiency in using version control systems like GitLab/GHE/Subversion etc is essential.

Ensure that code changes are tracked, managed, and versioned appropriately.

Scripting and Automation: Write & maintain scripts and develop automation solutions to simplify repetitive tasks and processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing human error.

Cloud Services: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud is valuable.

Leverage cloud services to build scalable and resilient architectures.

Performance Optimization: Analyze application and infrastructure performance, identifying bottlenecks and areas for optimization. This involves tuning application configurations, database performance, and other components.

Documentation: Keeping documentation up to date is essential for maintaining clear processes and knowledge sharing across teams.
