Job Description

Summary
The DevOps squad is dedicated to implementing and optimizing the Pismo CI/CD Platform, automating infrastructure provisioning, and improving operational tasks using best practices in CI/CD and IaC. The squad stays updated with the latest technology trends, conducts POCs for new technologies, and provides strategic insights to drive continuous improvement and innovation. 

What You'll Do

• Implement, optimize, and maintain reliable and scalable CI/CD pipelines.

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code scripts to automate infrastructure provisioning and management.

• Apply Infrastructure as Code best practices to ensure consistency, repeatability, security, and compliance across environments.

• Identify opportunities to automate routine operational tasks, improving efficiency and reducing manual effort.

• Implement automation solutions to streamline deployment, scaling, maintenance, and operational processes.

• Make well-informed SRE and engineering decisions, considering technical debt, system design, stability, reliability, monitoring, observability, and business requirements.

• Monitor and maintain the resilience of the CI/CD platform, avoiding unplanned or uncommunicated changes.

• Troubleshoot complex platform and pipeline issues, collaborating with senior and staff engineers when broader technical alignment is required.

• Write clear and effective post-mortem documentation for internal and external stakeholders.

• Apply and contribute to the continuous improvement of coding standards, engineering practices, and non-functional requirements.

• Participate in code and Pull Request reviews, providing constructive feedback focused on CI/CD, automation, reliability, and code quality.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, sharing technical knowledge and supporting their professional development.

• Act as a technical reference within the squad for CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automation, and platform reliability topics.

• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and industry practices, sharing relevant insights with the squad.

• Support and execute Proofs of Concept to evaluate and introduce new CI/CD and automation technologies.

• Contribute high-quality technical solutions that support platform resilience, continuous improvement, and the squad’s strategic goals.
