*Develop, manage, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or CircleCI.

*Enable automated testing, build, and deployment workflows across microservices and APIs.Collaborate with developers to integrate automated quality gates and rollback strategies.

*Implement progressive delivery models (blue-green, canary, or feature flag deployments).

• Configuration & Automation

*Utilize Ansible, Puppet, or Chef for configuration management and system automation.

*Manage infrastructure consistency and minimize manual intervention through policy-as-code principles.

*Implement automated patch management, backup, and disaster recovery workflows.

• Containerization & Orchestration

*Design and maintain containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes.

*Manage Kubernetes clusters, Helm charts, and service mesh configurations (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).

*Optimize container performance and resource utilization for microservices.

• Monitoring, Logging & Performance

*Implement robust monitoring and alerting systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, CloudWatch, Datadog).

*Ensure real-time visibility into application and infrastructure performance.

*Establish SLA/SLO/SLI metrics for system reliability and scalability.

*Conduct root cause analysis and implement preventive actions.

• Experience:

*+3 years of experience in DevOps or Cloud Engineering, ideally in large-scale production environments.

*Proven success in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure.

• Technical Skills:

*Proficiency in scripting languages: Python, Bash, or PowerShell.

* Strong expertise in Linux administration and network fundamentals.

*Deep understanding of Git workflows and version control strategies (GitFlow, trunk-based).

*Hands-on experience with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

*Familiarity with infrastructure monitoring tools and incident management workflows.

*Understanding of microservice architecture, RESTful APIs, and load balancing.

• Soft Skills:

*Excellent analytical and troubleshooting abilities.

*Strong communication and collaboration skills.

*Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, agile environment.

*Commitment to continuous learning and staying updated with emerging DevOps trends.
