Info on the DevOps Engineer - CI/CD Optimization (466) role
In this role, you’ll join a team focused on modernizing CI/CD pipelines and building systems, helping transform legacy processes into fast, reliable, and automated delivery workflows.
Challenge
We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who genuinely enjoys untangling legacy build pipelines and turning them into clean, scalable, and automated systems.
This is not a maintenance-only role. You’ll be responsible for analyzing existing CI/CD workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and driving modernization efforts that directly improve developer productivity, delivery speed, and system reliability.
Responsibilities:
- Analyze and evaluate legacy CI/CD pipelines, identifying inefficiencies, failure points, and manual steps.
- Design and implement modern CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security checks, and streamlined deployments.
- Migrate manual infrastructure and build configurations to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Define and implement standardized “golden paths” for build and deployment workflows across environments.
- Improve pipeline observability by implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting, ensuring fast and actionable feedback for developers.
- Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve build reliability and deployment confidence.
- Take ownership of CI/CD improvements from design through production rollout.
- Actively contribute ideas to improve DevOps practices, tooling, and overall engineering efficiency.
Mandatory Skills:
- 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering.
- Proven experience modernizing or migrating legacy CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
- Solid experience with containerization using Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or Go.
- Experience working with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
- Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, build optimization, and deployment strategies.
- Comfortable working in environments with legacy systems (custom scripts, XML configs, manual processes).
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
- Clear and confident English communication skills (written and verbal).
Nice to Have:
- Experience implementing security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with secrets management and state handling in modern DevOps environments.
- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience working in high-availability or production-critical environments.
- Prior involvement in defining DevOps standards or platform best practices.
Team & Environment:
- Distributed, international engineering team.
- Strong ownership culture — engineers drive solutions end to end.
- Focus on modernization, automation, and developer experience.
- High autonomy to propose and implement improvements.
- Collaborative environment with direct impact on engineering velocity.
