DevOps Engineer

About the team

The organization is undergoing a significant DevOps transformation to drive improvements in software delivery through enhanced automation reduced operational inefficiencies and better collaboration across squads. As part of the Engineering Excellence squad the DevOps Engineer will support multiple delivery squads that have limited DevOps knowledge and capacity.The DevOps Engineer will report directly to the DevOps champions Lead and work closely with the DevOps champions in each delivery squad. Regular updates and reports will be provided to ensure alignment with project goals and the overall DevOps transformation strategy.

Assignment description

The DevOps Engineer will focus on developing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines automating infrastructure processes mentoring squads and integrating best practices. The role will be pivotal in driving DORA metrics improvements such as increased deployment frequency reduced lead time for changes lower change failure rates and faster recovery times.Objectives Improve CI/CD pipelines across multiple squads. Increase deployment automation and reduce operational bottlenecks. Mentor and coach delivery squads to adopt DevOps best practices. Raise DevOps maturity across tech stacks including .NET on Azure and Guidewire with Bitbucket/TeamCity. Collaborate with squadspecific DevOps champions to increase performance based on DORA metrics.Deliverables Optimized CI/CD pipelines: Implementation of efficient CI/CD pipelines tailored to the needs of each delivery squad. DORA metrics improvements: Demonstrable improvements in deployment frequency lead time for changes change failure rates and mean time to recovery. Documentation: Clear and accessible documentation of CI/CD processes Infrastructure as Code templates and best practices for DevOps across the squads. Mentorship outcomes: Evidence of upskilled DevOps champions and delivery squad members including training materials and session outcomes. Automation and monitoring: Deployment of automated monitoring and logging solutions to enhance observability and system reliability.ConclusionThe DevOps Engineer will play a critical role in driving the organizations DevOps transformation.
