Automate and optimize build and deployment processes to increase efficiency and reduce errors. Collaborate with software development teams to promote DevOps best practices within the organization. Monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot environment performance, deployment stability, and test data integrity. Ensure compliance with security, quality, and operational standards across all development environments. Create and maintain technical documentation, training material, and process descriptions. Share knowledge, guide, and support colleagues in adopting new tools and practices. Qualifications Required Experience and Skills: A university degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. 4+ years of demonstrable experience in DevOps with a strong understanding of CI/CD principles, infrastructure automation, and environment management Strong understanding of Microsoft Azure or similar cloud environments. Deep hands-on experience with CI/CD ecosystems (GitLab, Jenkins), including pipeline design, automation, and integration across multi-environment deployments. Expertise in scripting in PowerShell, Bash, or Python. Proven experience managing on-premises and virtualized hardware used for software deployment and testing. Solid understanding of software development processes, release processes, and test automation. Excellent verbal communication skills and documentation skills. Proactive, analytical, and detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership. Preferred Experience and Skills: Experience with enterprise-scale SaaS deployment models. Knowledge of Windows Server and Linux environments. Familiarity with networking, security, and environment monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus, Azure Monitor). Additional Information We embrace flexibility and hybrid work opportunities to support diverse needs and lifestyles, while also valuing inclusive workplace experiences. By fostering a sense of community, we drive innovation, strengthen connections, and nurture belonging. Our commitment ensures you can work in a way that suits you best, while also engaging with colleagues to share ideas and build meaningful relationships.
