• Provide regular updates and reports on operational performance and any identified risks. 

Process Improvement Initiatives

• Participate in identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement within the DevOps pipeline, offering solutions and alternatives. 
• Collaborate with teams to implement process improvements that enhance speed and quality. 

Documentation and Knowledge Sharing

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date operational documentation related to the DevOps processes and toolchains. 
• Share knowledge and best practices with application teams, fostering a culture of collaboration. 

Collaboration with Teams

• Work closely with development and operations teams to understand application requirements and ensure infrastructure meets those needs. 
• Assist in capacity planning and operational reliability discussions. 

Onboarding and Training

• Facilitate onboarding new team members by sharing insights about existing processes, tools, and environments. 
• Conduct training sessions on existing DevOps tools and practices for application teams. 

Feedback Integration

• Collect feedback from application teams regarding tooling and processes.

What it takes to succeed:

• 3-5 years of experience in DevOps roles, with a focus on DevOps practices and principles. 
• Experience in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or similar. 
• Familiarity with binary repository tools like, Nexus Sonatype, JFrog Artifactory and experience with publishing binaries using Java, Maven, Gradle, NPM, and Python. 
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure ) with an understanding of how to manage cloud infrastructure. 
• Proficiency in using containerisation technologies, notably Docker, and a basic understanding of Kubernetes for orchestration. 
• Strong scripting skills in at least one language (Python, Bash, or GoLang), with the ability to automate processes to improve operational efficiency. 
• Familiarity with software development practices, especially an understanding of Test-Driven Development (TDD). 
• Understanding of configuration management tools (e.g., Puppet, Chef, Ansible) and the ability to apply them for infrastructure setup and management. 
• Strong team player with good communication skills, capable of working effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve shared DevOps goals. 
• Experience working in production environments with a grasp of PaaS, SaaS, or IaaS models.
