DevOps Engineer

ComResource is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer.

Must have experience with GitLab.

The DevOps Lead empowers our technology journey into a hybrid cloud. This role will work with senior technology and business leaders charting the next-generation architecture for applications, deliver new service prototypes, and join the engineering leadership team for a group of more than 100 engineers. This role is core to shifting to a modern microservices approach spanning both on-premises and cloud deployments. You need to be both highly technical and interpersonal, coordinating teams and driving decision making in the journey to application modernization.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

1. You will champion continuous delivery, coordinating and assisting teams through the transition to a rapid deployment model. Both design and building pipelines is part of this role, but also educating teams on the reasons why we need them.
2. You will propose, share, and refine best practices on release engineering, containerization, environment management, build/deployment automation, general process automation, and scripting
3. You will design both new applications and build transition approaches for existing ones. Architectural reviews, hands-on refactoring of stacks alongside the teams, and shaping infrastructure transitions are ways you’ll help bring the company forward.
4. You will advance and refine our use of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and link it to our success in the CI/CD space. Everything we build must be automated as much as possible regardless of the destination.
5. You won’t settle for the current state. You’re here to be a change agent, and you bring the energy and sophistication necessary to see hard transitions through to success. You won’t wait around for others, you will proactively seek out clarifications, problems, and misunderstandings. You want to lead, not be led.
