WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
We are seeking a skilled and motivated DevOps Specialist to join our Technology team. In this role, you will be a key partner to our .NET and Java development teams, responsible for building and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud infrastructure primarily on AWS (with some Azure exposure), and driving a culture of automation, reliability, and operational excellence. You will work closely with developers, architects, and leadership to streamline software delivery and ensure high availability of our systems.
CI/CD & Automation

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for .NET and Java applications using Atlassian Bitbucket Pipelines, with experience in other tools such as Azure DevOps or AWS CodePipeline considered an asset
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes to reduce lead time and manual intervention
• Manage and improve Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Pulumi

Cloud Infrastructure (AWS & Azure)

• Provision, configure, patch and manage cloud resources primarily on AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM identity centre, VPC, CloudWatch, Security Hub/GuardDuty, AWS backup / snapshot strategy + restore testing) and as needed on Azure
• Implement and enforce cloud security best practices, including IAM policies, secrets management, and network segmentation
• Monitor infrastructure costs and identify optimization opportunities

Reliability & Observability

• Own observability standards (golden signals, dashboards, alert hygiene) and ensure our observability platform Coralogix is delivering actionable signal—not noise.  Experience with alternative tools such as Datadog, ELK Stack, or Prometheus/Grafana is welcome
• Experience with application performance monitoring (APM) such as AppDynamics or New Relic.
• Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response and post-mortem processes
• Define and track SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets in collaboration with development teams

Collaboration & Developer Experience

• Partner with .NET and Java engineers to improve local development environments and toolchains
• Champion DevOps best practices including shift-left security, trunk-based development, and blue/green or canary deployments
• Document infrastructure architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering role
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS core services (compute, networking, storage, security, and container orchestration)
• Proficiency with CI/CD tooling, specifically Atlassian Bitbucket Pipelines; experience with other platforms (GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or equivalent) is a plus
• Solid experience with IaC tools, particularly Terraform
• Expertise in Helm-based deployments for managing complex Kubernetes application lifecycles.
• Proven track record in building and maintaining CIS-hardened AMIs and managing system security at the kernel level (we are using packer tool)
• Working knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes / EKS)
• Scripting proficiency in Bash, Python, or PowerShell
• Experience supporting JVM-based (Java/Kotlin) and .NET applications in production
• Strong understanding of networking concepts (DNS, TLS, load balancing, VPNs)
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows and branching strategies, with hands-on experience in Atlassian Bitbucket

WHAT WOULD BE IDEAL

• Experience with Microsoft Azure (AKS, Azure DevOps, App Services, Azure Monitor)
• AWS certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or AWS Solutions Architect
• Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd) and API gateways
• Knowledge of database DevOps practices including schema migration tooling (Flyway, Liquibase)
• Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost management tooling
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as PCI, SOC 2, ISO 27001 as they relate to cloud environments
• Hands-on experience executing and remediating security scans via industry-standard tools like Qualys
• Advanced knowledge of SELinux policies, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and file integrity monitoring (FIM) to ensure rigorous security postures
