Senior DevOps Engineer

Job Description

Platform Golden Path:

• Build the golden path that will allow us to add new micro-services to our stack in a matter of minutes.
• Improve existing automations (pipelines, IaC) to be able to release more often, with more confidence.
• Migrate legacy pipelines.
• Enhance the developper workstation
• build our agentic platform providing AI capabilities to our clients

Reliability SRE practice:

• Improve dashboarding and alerting using Instana / Grafana.
• Help reduce toil by automating responses to recurrent requests.

Run the platform:

Shared incident response, platform maintenance on the various components. Day-to-day support for 8+ development teams.

Qualifications

Must have:

• 5+ years in DevOps, platform or SRE roles, including real production ownership.
• Kubernetes in depth. Workload scheduling, resource requests and limits, probes, disruption budgets, security contexts, ingress, and the ability to debug a failing rollout.
• Helm and Kustomize. You have designed a chart that other teams depend on, and lived with the consequences. Or you have built Kustomize bases and overlays that several applications deploy from.
• CI/CD pipeline engineering at scale. GitLab CI is strongly preferred. The transferable part is having built shared, versioned pipeline abstractions used by many repositories.
• Docker image authoring: multi-stage builds, small non-root images, build caching, registries.
• Infrastructure as code. Terraform and Ansible: roles and modules you wrote and maintained.
• Automation in Python, Bash or other languages. Clean, tested, reviewable code. Part of this platform is Python / Bash scripting, and it is held to the same standard as application code.
• Observability fundamentals. Metrics, logs and traces, how to use them, how to troubleshoot an app misbehaving.
• Git and code review as a discipline. Trunk-adjacent branching, conventional commits, small reviewable changes.

Strongly desirable:

• HashiCorp Vault and secret management patterns in Kubernetes.
• Prometheus and Grafana as an author: PromQL, recording rules, dashboards as code.
• Supply-chain security: SBOM generation, CI checks.
• Kafka operations (topics, ACLs, consumer lag) and enough SQL, Oracle and MSSQL to be useful during an incident.
• Jenkins pipelines knowledge.
• Experience supporting Java / Spring Boot and Angular delivery specifically.
• Working effectively with AI coding tools on real infrastructure code, as an accelerator you keep under review.
• Experience defining and operating service level indicators (SLIs), service level objectives (SLOs) and alerting strategies.
