Job description

Senior DevOps Engineer

Next Generation Monitoring (NGM) Platform — Vertiv IT Systems | Pune, Maharashtra

Experience: 8–12 Years • Band: Senior Engineer (IC) • Department: Software Engineering — IT Systems • Reports To: Engineering Manager

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to own the engineering delivery infrastructure — CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, multi-deployment packaging, release management, security automation, and platform observability. The engineer will support on-premises, cloud-native (AWS/GCP/Azure), hybrid edge-cloud, and air-gapped deployment targets across a multi-year, multi-release product roadmap.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

• Design, build, and optimize GitLab CI/CD pipelines for all microservices with independent deployment cycles

• Implement multi-stage pipelines: build → test → security scan → package → deploy across all environments

• Integrate automated unit, integration, and system-level tests; manage all pipeline configuration as code

• Configure branch-based promotion strategies (dev → staging → production)

Container Orchestration & Infrastructure

• Manage containerized deployments via Docker and Kubernetes on Linux and Windows Server

• Provision and manage Kubernetes clusters (dev, staging, production) with horizontal pod autoscaling

• Configure service mesh (Istio/Linkerd) for inter-service mTLS; manage container image registry lifecycle

• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Ansible for cloud and on-premises resources

Multi-Deployment Operations

• Build on-premises Docker/Kubernetes deployment automation for Linux and Windows Server targets

• Develop cloud-native automation for AWS, GCP, and Azure (EKS/GKE/AKS) including multi-region config

• Engineer hybrid edge-cloud pipelines; package air-gapped artefact bundles for offline/classified environments

• Implement zero-downtime rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and automated rollback strategies

Release Management

• Orchestrate software releases across the multi-release product roadmap; coordinate cross-functional readiness

• Manage versioning, release tagging, changelog generation, and artefact storage across all microservices

• Produce deployment runbooks, release notes, and rollback procedures for each release milestone

Security & Compliance Automation

• Integrate SAST, DAST, container image scanning (Trivy/Snyk/Clair), and dependency vulnerability checks

• Automate SBOM generation, open-source license compliance, and software supply chain tracking

• Configure secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), TLS certificate automation, and PKI for microservices

• Implement pipeline controls for SOC 2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, and FedRAMP readiness

Monitoring, Observability & Reliability

• Deploy centralized logging (ELK/Loki), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana), and distributed tracing (Jaeger)

• Configure Kubernetes cluster monitoring, pod health dashboards, and alerting/on-call integration

• Drive proactive reliability engineering to meet high-availability platform SLA targets

Automation & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Create Bash/Python automation for infrastructure operations, environment provisioning, and self-healing

• Interface with software architects, developers, QA, and product management on delivery and planning

• Guide development teams on DevOps best practices, containerization patterns, and pipeline design
