DevOps Engineer

Your new role and environment.

As a DevOps Engineer in the DDP Middleware & Scheduling team within Data Management Services, you focus on using the latest cloud technologies to architect, scale and monitor our services and products. You will be a champion of systems, infrastructure automation and security. This is a hands-on technical position. The ideal candidate has prior experience in building and managing Cloud Infrastructure that supports (data) applications striving to solve traditional operational problems through automation and software. Of course, none of this is useful unless you possess a high standard of excellence, attitude, solid written and verbal communication skills, have a strong customer focus!

Key responsibilities of your role.

• Drive automation of Cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration management, self-service, Infrastructure-as-Code services, Auto Scale initiatives, and DevOps deployment.
• Create observability strategies with focus on self-healing mechanisms.
• Contribute to infrastructure improvements, architecture, development, and deployment.
• Collaborate with data engineering, product, and design teams to ensure that releases, internal and external, can be done easily (and retracted easily if need be).
• Implement security baselines and standards for resources including Network access, restriction of internet-facing resource provision and configuration within the Azure and Oracle Cloud environment.
• Promote DevOps practices such as Infrastructure as Code and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).
• Will be trained in middleware & scheduling technologies and part of the on-call rotation.
