Devops Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and scale our infrastructure automation, cloud/on-prem provisioning, and CI/CD ecosystem. You will work across the full infrastructure lifecycle — from network and subnet design, VM/compute provisioning, and Kubernetes platform operations, to building resilient Jenkins pipelines and managing source control governance on Azure Repos. This is a hands-on senior role for someone comfortable owning infrastructure-as-code end-to-end and mentoring a small team.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure Provisioning & Network Planning

Design and manage VM provisioning workflows across virtualization platforms (ESXI , VMware/vSphere) and/or cloud, including template management, sizing, and lifecycle governance.
Plan and manage IP address management (IPAM), subnetting, VLAN allocation, and knowledge of CIDR design across data centers/regions, ensuring no overlap and proper reservation controls
Kubernetes & Container Platform

Own Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management — provisioning, upgrades, namespace governance, ingress configuration, and RBAC across environments.
Automate application deployments to Kubernetes using Helm charts, Argo Cd
Troubleshoot cluster-level and workload-level issues across compute, networking, and storage layers.
CI/CD & Automation

Design, build, and maintain robust Jenkins pipelines (declarative/scripted) for build, test, and multi-environment deployment automation.
Manage source control strategy, branching policies, and pipeline integration on Azure Repos (or equivalent Git platforms).
Build Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform/Ansible for repeatable, auditable provisioning of VMs, networks, and Kubernetes resources.
Implement policy-as-code (e.g., OPA/Rego) for provisioning guardrails, with testing and staged rollout practices.
Platform Reliability & Governance

Maintain CMDB/CSDM-aligned configuration tracking for infrastructure CIs (VMs, clusters, subnets, services).
Define monitoring, alerting, and incident escalation paths for infrastructure drift, IP conflicts, and pipeline failures.
Drive documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-sharing across the DevOps/Platform team.
Leadership & Collaboration

Mentor junior/mid-level DevOps engineers and review their automation code and pipeline designs.
Partner with application, security, and network teams to translate requirements into scalable automation.
Participate in architecture reviews and provide input on platform roadmap decisions.
Required Skills & Experience

DevOps/Infrastructure engineering experience, including at least 3+ years in a senior/lead capacity.
Strong hands-on experience with VM provisioning on ESXI , VMware/vSphere, Nutanix, KVM, or equivalent hypervisors.
Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: subnetting, VLANs, CIDR planning, IPAM, static/DHCP IP assignment.
Production experience managing Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS/on-prem) — deployments, namespaces, RBAC, ingress, troubleshooting.
Strong experience building and maintaining Jenkins pipelines (Groovy/declarative) for CI/CD.
Hands-on experience with Azure Repos (or Git/GitHub/GitLab) — branching strategies, pull request workflows, pipeline integration.
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform and/or Ansible.
Scripting proficiency: Bash, Python, or PowerShell.
Familiarity with policy-as-code tools (OPA/Rego) and CMDB/CSDM concepts is a plus.
Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or equivalent).
Strong understanding of secrets management (Vault or equivalent) and security best practices in pipelines.
Working experience on SRE or Devops agents.
Nice to Have

Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid (on-prem + cloud) environments.
Experience with ServiceNow or similar ITSM/CMDB platforms.
Certifications: CKA, Terraform Associate, or equivalent cloud/infra certifications.
Soft Skills

Strong ownership mindset — comfortable driving platform decisions independently.
Ability to mentor and review the work of junior engineers.
Clear written and verbal communication for cross-team collaboration (App, Security, Network teams).
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving infrastructure environment.
