Position Objectives

To lead end-to-end cloud infrastructure design, deployment, and automation for an enterprise-grade platform. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who can architect scalable solutions, resolve complex issues, tune system performance, mentor system administrators, maintain thorough documentation, and proactively communicate with clients and senior stakeholders - acting as a true end-to-end DevOps consultant.

Job Description & Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own cloud infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) supporting enterprise applications.
• Architect and manage containerised environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift across Dev, Test, Staging, and Production.
• Implement and maintain high availability at application and web layers using Nginx (load balancing) and Redis (session management).
• Configure, optimise, and performance-tune PostgreSQL databases for reliability and scale.
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to automate integration and deployment workflows.
• Proactively monitor system health, identify bottlenecks, and resolve infrastructure issues before they escalate.
• Design and enforce backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
• Guide and mentor system administrators on best practices, configurations, and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with development and architecture teams to align infrastructure with application requirements.
• Support deployment of Odoo (Python) and Camunda BPM-based applications.
• Maintain clear, up-to-date technical documentation covering architecture, runbooks, and procedures.
• Provide timely, accurate updates to clients and senior leadership on infrastructure status, risks, and progress.
