Job Overview

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will play a critical role in streamlining our development processes, ensuring smooth deployments, and maintaining the resilience and security of our infrastructure. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, implementing cutting-edge solutions to optimise software development lifecycles and ensure high availability, performance, and compliance of our platforms. This role demands a high level of technical expertise in cloud infrastructure, automation, and containerization, as well as an ability to quickly resolve complex issues under pressure.

You will be responsible for overseeing global cloud infrastructure, implementing scalable CI/CD pipelines, and managing Kubernetes clusters, among other key responsibilities. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of AWS technologies and experience in automating infrastructure to maintain agility in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• CI/CD Pipeline Implementation: Architect, develop, and optimise automated Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using industry-standard tools (Jenkins, GitLab, Argo). Ensure pipelines follow best practices to expedite software releases, while maintaining high-quality standards and minimising risks.
• Container Orchestration: Manage, maintain, and scale Kubernetes and Docker clusters across various jurisdictions with different regulatory requirements, ensuring that platforms remain secure, compliant, and efficient.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design, automate, and manage AWS infrastructure using Terraform, adhering to infrastructure-as-code principles to enable fast, repeatable, and consistent provisioning of environments. Ensure cloud resources are highly scalable, reliable, and optimised for cost.
• Incident Management & Troubleshooting: Serve as a third-level escalation point for complex platform incidents. Quickly troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve issues to minimize downtime and ensure operational continuity.
• Automation & Scripting: Use Python, Bash, or other scripting languages to automate routine tasks such as health checks, system hygiene, monitoring, and service maintenance. Continuously identify and implement automation opportunities to increase efficiency.
• Cloud Infrastructure Management: Oversee the management of global cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS) to ensure seamless integration, scaling, and resilience. Maintain services like AWS EC2, ECS, EKS, VPC, and Transit Gateways.
• UAT Environment Management: Build and maintain high-quality User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environments to ensure that pre-production testing mirrors production environments, allowing rigorous and reliable software validation before live releases.
• Monitoring & Maintenance: Perform daily monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure and services to ensure maximum availability, performance, and security. Proactively identify potential issues and implement preemptive solutions.
• On-call Support: Participate in a rotating on-call schedule, providing expert support to resolve urgent incidents and ensure that systems are operational 24/7.

Experience

• Minimum of 5 years in a DevOps Engineer or similar role, with proven experience managing CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and containerised environments.
• CI/CD Expertise: Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and methodologies such as Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD, and Nexus. Demonstrated ability to implement fully automated, reliable, and scalable CI/CD solutions.
• Infrastructure Automation: Proficient in using Terraform or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of cloud resources.
• Cloud & AWS Knowledge: Strong experience with AWS and native services, particularly EKS, EC2, VPC, S3, and Transit Gateways. Experience with other major cloud platforms (GCP, Azure) is a plus.
• Containerisation & Orchestration: Extensive knowledge of containerisation (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes). Ability to deploy and manage clusters at scale.
• Database Familiarity: Solid understanding of database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, with an ability to optimise their integration into cloud-native infrastructure.
• Scripting & Automation Tools: Proficiency in scripting languages like Python, Bash, or similar.
• Troubleshooting Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, with a demonstrated capacity to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues efficiently under pressure.
• Collaboration & Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team spanning multiple locations (Malta, London, and Romania).
