Job Description
Position Summary:
The DevOps Cloud Infrastructure Level 3 Engineer plays a critical role in designing, implementing, maintaining, and supporting robust cloud infrastructure solutions within a fast-paced, innovative enterprise environment. This advanced position is tailored for an experienced professional who possesses in-depth knowledge of cloud technologies, automation, infrastructure as code (IaC), continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and possesses foundational networking expertise.
The Level 3 designation signifies senior-level responsibilities, including ownership of complex technical issues, mentoring junior staff, and shaping the cloud infrastructure strategy for the organisation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Cloud Infrastructure Design and Implementation: Architect and deploy scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant cloud environments using industry-leading platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Automation and Configuration Management: Develop, maintain, and improve infrastructure automation using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or similar. Ensure systems can be deployed, configured, monitored, and managed via code.
- CI/CD Pipeline Development and Maintenance: Build and optimise CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar, to ensure rapid and reliable deployment of software and infrastructure changes.
- Monitoring, Logging, and Observability: Implement and manage monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK Stack, CloudWatch, Stackdriver). Ensure high visibility into system operations and the ability to proactively respond to incidents.
- Incident Response and Troubleshooting: Lead the investigation and resolution of complex infrastructure and application issues. Serve as an escalation point for Level 2 engineers. Perform root cause analysis and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
- Security and Compliance: Implement and enforce cloud security best practices, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, vulnerability management, and network segmentation. Contribute to compliance efforts (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) as required.
- Cost Optimisation: Monitor cloud usage and spending; recommend and implement strategies to manage and reduce costs without compromising performance or security.
- Networking: Design and manage cloud networking components such as VPCs, subnets, security groups, firewalls, and VPNs. Apply basic networking principles such as IP addressing, routing, DNS, TCP/IP, and load balancing to ensure secure and efficient connectivity.
- Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation for infrastructure design, processes, and troubleshooting guides. Ensure knowledge is shared across the team.
- Mentorship and Collaboration: Mentor junior DevOps engineers and collaborate closely with developers, security teams, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions. Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and cross-functional meetings.
- Continuous Improvement: Research and recommend new technologies, tools, and practices that improve reliability, performance, and developer productivity. Contribute to a culture of innovation and learning.
Qualifications and Experience:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or System Administration roles, with demonstrable expertise in cloud infrastructure at scale.
- Certifications (Preferred): Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect, or equivalent.
- Networking Knowledge: Understanding of basic networking concepts, including but not limited to IP addressing, subnetting, routing, firewalls, DNS, and VPNs.
- Cloud Platform Proficiency: Advanced experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP), including services such as compute, storage, networking, security, and database.
- Automation Tools: Proficient in infrastructure automation and configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, CloudFormation).
- CI/CD Tools: Working knowledge of pipeline tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar.
- Monitoring & Logging: Experience implementing and managing observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Cloud-native solutions).
- Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar for automation and orchestration.
- Operating Systems: Advanced knowledge of Linux/Unix and Windows server environments.
- Security Best Practices: Experience with IAM, encryption, vulnerability management, and incident response in cloud environments.
