Job Description
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
- Design, build, configure, and maintain on-premises bare-metal infrastructure to support container platforms, CI/CD tooling, databases, and messaging systems.
- Operate CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows.
- Build and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure consistent, repeatable, and secure environments across development, test, and production.
- Implement secure deployment patterns for cloud-based, containerized, and hybrid environments, supporting both single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures.
- Configure and manage container platforms and orchestration systems (e.g., Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker), with a strong focus on runtime security, image governance, and operational stability on bare-metal on-prem infrastructure.
- Design, deploy, and operate DevSecOps tooling and automation that supports PostgreSQL databases, including secure configuration, backup, monitoring, and performance considerations.
- Collaborate closely with development, infrastructure, and security teams to improve production readiness.
- Support event-driven and asynchronous architectures by integrating and operating messaging and streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka, including secure pipeline integration and operational monitoring.
- Collaborate with Application and Operations teams to ensure secure, reliable CI/CD workflows for services that depend on relational databases and messaging systems.
- Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to support observability, performance tuning, and security detection.
- Work directly with application developers to troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, and environment-related problems.
- Apply cloud security best practices, including identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, and secrets management.
- Maintain operational documentation, runbooks, and technical standards related to DevSecOps tooling and processes.
- Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to less experienced engineers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.
- Continuously identify opportunities to improve automation, reliability, security posture, and developer experience.
- Perform job duties in a safe manner and attend work as scheduled on a consistent and regular basis.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
