Descripción del puesto: Role Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior DevOps Engineer to join a cross-regional delivery team modernizing and scaling CI/CD and cloud-native platform practices for mid-to-large-scale enterprise application stacks. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: you will own the build, release, and platform automation lifecycle end-to-end, working across Kubernetes-based environments to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure. The ideal candidate has deep experience operating in large-scale, complex delivery environments with strong end-to-end architecture exposure, and is comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems from discovery through resolution.

Responsibilities

● Experience implementing and managing HashiCorp Vault for secrets and credentials management.

● Working knowledge of CSI (Container Storage Interface) for persistent storage in Kubernetes environments.

● Proficiency with Git, Docker, Ansible, and shell scripting; Python experience is desirable.

● Working knowledge of SQL and database integration.

● Experience with Jira and Confluence to support development and deployment processes.

● Demonstrated experience operating in large-scale, complex enterprise environments, with strong end-to-end architecture and delivery process exposure.

Required Skills & Qualifications (Must-Have)

● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

● 10+ years of overall IT experience, including 7+ years of hands-on DevOps experience.

● Proven, hands-on senior-level experience in DevOps, CI/CD, and release management for enterprise-scale applications.

● Strong expertise in CI/CD tooling,



including Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

● Advanced, production-grade experience with Kubernetes, including cluster administration, workload management, and troubleshooting at scale.

● Hands-on experience with Helm for application packaging and deployment. Soft Skills

● Strong sense of ownership — takes accountability for outcomes across the CI/CD and delivery lifecycle.

● Proactive in identifying risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities before they impact delivery.

● Clear and effective communicator, able to work across cross-regional and cross-functional teams.

● Sound judgment in escalation management — knows when and how to raise blockers to the right stakeholders.

● Comfortable operating in large-scale, complex environments with broad end-to-end architecture and delivery exposure.

● Self-starter who adapts quickly to new tools, processes, and ambiguous situations.

● Collaborative team player who fosters knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.

Preferred Qualifications / Nice-to-Have

● Familiarity with Fabric.

● Experience with Agile methodologies and global, distributed team collaboration.

● Familiarity with distributed caching software such as Apache Ignite or GemFire.

● Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.





● Experience documenting and sharing DevOps best practices across teams.

● Work with cross-regional development teams to modernize and streamline CI/CD pipelines for mid-to-large-scale enterprise application stacks.

● Design, build, and maintain CI/CD workflows using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and release processes to reduce manual effort and increase delivery speed.

● Take ownership of the CI/CD and release management processes end-to-end, ensuring reliability, scalability, and continuous improvement.

● Administer and scale Kubernetes clusters at an advanced level, using Helm for application packaging, templating, and deployment.

● Implement and manage secrets and credentials using HashiCorp Vault, and configure CSI (Container Storage Interface) drivers for persistent storage in containerized environments.

● Enhance existing automation using Ansible and shell scripting, aligning infrastructure-as-code practices with evolving business needs.

● Collaborate with integral teams to assess and improve current CI/CD and release workflows, ensuring seamless integration across development and operations.

● Manage the broader DevOps toolchain — Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Jira, and Confluence — to support development and deployment processes.

● Monitor pipelines and platform health, proactively troubleshooting issues and driving root-cause resolution.

● Act as a self-starter, comfortable tackling unknown-unknowns and leading initiatives to mature DevOps and platform engineering practices.

● Share knowledge and mentor team members to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
