• Ensure appropriate segregation of duties, access controls and approval checkpoints across controlled environments.
• Apply DevSecOps principles throughout cloud infrastructure and application delivery processes.
• Manage pipeline permissions, service identities, secrets, certificates and deployment credentials according to approved controls.
• Embed security scanning and automated compliance checks into infrastructure and software delivery pipelines.
• Implement and maintain appropriate logging, monitoring, alerting and operational telemetry for cloud infrastructure and deployment services.
• Diagnose complex pipeline, infrastructure and deployment failures using logs, metrics, traces and dependency information.
• Investigate environment inconsistencies, configuration drift, capacity constraints and integration failures.
• Contribute to root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions for recurring cloud or deployment issues.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, infrastructure diagrams, configuration standards, support procedures and operational runbooks.
• Maintain validation evidence, deployment records and technical information required to demonstrate release traceability.
• Identify manual, repetitive or error-prone activities and replace them with controlled automation.
• Develop reusable infrastructure, pipeline and deployment components that can be adopted across multiple products.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 4+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, software engineering, site reliability engineering, or deployment automation.
• Experience building and maintaining cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automated configuration approaches.
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, including automated testing, quality gates, security controls, approval controls, and deployment workflows.
• Experience with source-code repositories, artefact repositories, branching strategies, build/deployment agents, integrations, secrets, and environment controls.
• Experience supporting environment promotion across DEV, TEST, VAL, and PROD, including controlled approvals, deployment evidence, segregation of duties, and rollback arrangements.
• Experience coordinating and supporting controlled software and infrastructure releases, including application releases, cloud migrations, platform upgrades, and integration deployments.
• Experience with cloud networking, identity, compute, storage, access controls, certificates, secrets management, and service-to-service connectivity.
• Experience applying DevSecOps practices, including security scanning, automated compliance checks, least-privilege access, secure configuration, and audit traceability.
• Experience implementing and supporting cloud monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational telemetry.
• Experience troubleshooting cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, integration, deployment, configuration-drift, and environment issues using logs, metrics, traces, and dependency information.
• Experience maintaining version-controlled infrastructure, configuration, deployment artefacts, technical documentation, release records, and environment baselines.
• Experience working within cybersecurity, architecture, access-control, quality, and operational standards.
• Experience with release processes, operational readiness, root-cause analysis, recovery, and service-restoration activities.
• Strong analytical, diagnostic and technical troubleshooting skills.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, deployment automation and environment-management principles.
• Clear technical writing and disciplined documentation practices.
• Understanding of secure configuration, least privilege, secrets management and audit traceability.
• Ability to work independently while remaining aligned with approved architecture and engineering guardrails.
• Ability to communicate complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience working in a regulated, validated, or highly controlled environment.
• Experience supporting validation requirements and maintaining validation evidence and release traceability for controlled cloud infrastructure and deployments.
• Relevant certifications in cloud, DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, cybersecurity, source control, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Agile.
• Experience developing reusable Infrastructure as Code modules, configuration templates, pipeline components, and deployment automation that can be adopted across multiple products.
• Experience supporting cloud reliability, resilience, scalability, environment availability, and operational readiness.
• Experience contributing to technical design reviews, validation planning, technical risk assessments, and operational-readiness reviews.
• Experience supporting internal reviews or audits by providing infrastructure, deployment, configuration, or validation evidence.
• Experience evaluating new cloud or DevOps capabilities and providing evidence to support controlled adoption.
