• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, architects, and engineers to define infrastructure requirements, devise solutions, and ensure seamless integration with business objectives.
• Provide L2/L3 support for the infrastructure and application stack, driving automation, reliability (SRE), and release excellence across environments.
• Define and implement standards, patterns and development best practices.
• Drive adoption of modern CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, security controls and release automation.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security, risk, governance and regulatory requirements.
• Provide technical leadership across Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Shell script, Datadog, Python, APIs, Docker, containers, ECR, EKS and GitLab.
• Mentor and coach team members through feedback, technical assistance, performance management and development planning.
• Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence; support recruitment, onboarding, and team growth.
• Champion DevSecOps practices, observability, reliability engineering and operational excellence.
• Promote knowledge sharing through code reviews, technical discussions, pairing sessions, and documentation.
• Manage incidents, problems, and changes using ITIL-aligned processes and SLAs (e.g., ServiceNow/Jira).
• Plan and execute OS patching cycles and maintain compliance with security and audit requirements.
• Maintain comprehensive runbooks, knowledge base articles, and support documentation.
• Build, maintain, and optimise CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, Nexus) to improve release velocity and quality.
