DevOps Engineer (Azure & CI/CD) – 5+ Years
Experience (Hybrid, Delhi NCR)
Role Overview:
We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on DevOps
experience to drive our cloud infrastructure and CI/CD initiatives. In this individual
contributor role (with team mentoring responsibilities), you will integrate software
development and IT operations to accelerate delivery and enhance system reliability. By
automating processes, managing infrastructure as code, and fostering collaboration, you’ll
ensure that continuous integration and deployment pipelines run efficiently and securely in a
Microsoft Azure cloud environment. You will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between
development and operations, spearhead the design of CI/CD pipelines, and oversee
monitoring and incident response for mission-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities
- CI/CD Pipeline Ownership: Design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (using GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions) to automate build, test, and deployment processes for software releases. Ensure rapid and reliable deployments with proper version control and rollback strategies.
- System Reliability & Monitoring: Establish end-to-end monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks to continuously track system performance and uptime. Take accountability for monitoring metrics. Proactively troubleshoot issues, lead incident response efforts, and implement improvements to achieve high availability and resiliency in production environments.
- Infrastructure as Code & Cloud Management: Manage and provision cloud infrastructure in Microsoft Azure using Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g. Terraform, ARM templates) for consistent and scalable environments. Maintain cloud resources (VMs, containers, networks, databases) and optimize for performance, cost, and security.
- Automation & Tooling: Develop scripts and automation tools to streamline configuration management, environment setup, and other operational tasks. Eliminate manual processes by leveraging scripting (Shell, PowerShell, Python) and configuration management tools, thereby improving team efficiency.
- Security & Compliance: Integrate security best practices into the CI/CD and cloud management process. Manage secrets and access control, ensure compliance with industry standards and internal policies, and collaborate with security teams to conduct regular audits and vulnerability assessments on infrastructure and pipelines.
- Collaboration & DevOps Best Practices: Work closely with software developers, QA engineers, and IT operations to promote a DevOps culture of shared responsibility and rapid feedback. Improve development workflows by advocating for agile practices, continuous improvement, and use of tools that bridge development and operations (e.g. Git workflows, issue tracking, chatops).
- Mentorship & Leadership: Mentor junior DevOps engineers and team members by sharing knowledge and best practices. Provide guidance through code reviews of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure code, conduct training sessions on DevOps tools/methodologies, and foster an environment of learning and innovation.
Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
- Experience: 5+ years of proven experience in a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering role, with a strong track record of managing production-grade CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure.
- DevOps & CI/CD Tools: Expertise in source control and CI/CD platforms, especially GitLab and GitHub (including GitLab CI pipelines and GitHub Actions). Hands-on experience with additional CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps is highly valuable.
- Azure Cloud Mastery: In-depth practical knowledge of Microsoft Azure cloud services and resources. Ability to design and operate solutions using Azure infrastructure (compute, storage, networking) and related services, ensuring performance and security at scale.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong experience writing and maintaining infrastructure-as-code templates/scripts (e.g. Terraform, Azure Resource Manager templates) to automate environment provisioning and configuration management.
- Containers & Orchestration: Proficiency with containerization and orchestration technologies – particularly Docker and Kubernetes – to deploy and manage applications in scalable containerized environments.
- Scripting & Automation: Solid programming/scripting skills in at least one language (e.g. Bash, PowerShell, Python) for automating CI/CD tasks, tool integrations, and routine operations.
- Monitoring & Observability: Hands-on experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (such as Azure Monitor, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/Elastic Stack and Datadog) to track system health and quickly diagnose issues.
- Networking & Security Fundamentals: Good understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN, firewalls) and cloud security practices (identity and access management, secret management, vulnerability scanning) to ensure robust and secure infrastructure.
Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Relevant industry certifications: Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert is a plus.
Preferred / Additional Qualifications
- Multi-Cloud Exposure: Familiarity with other cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a strong plus, indicating
- ability to apply DevOps best practices in a multi-cloud environment.
- Additional DevOps Tools: Experience with configuration management and automation tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet, and with container orchestration
- tools or cloud CI/CD services, will be advantageous.
- Certifications: Professional certifications that demonstrate DevOps and cloud expertise are preferred. Examples include AWS Certified DevOps Engineer,
- Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer Certification or related credentials.
Soft Skills & Competencies
- Communication & Collaboration: Fluent communication skills (written and verbal) with the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to diverse
- stakeholders. A strong team player who collaborates effectively across development, operations, and QA teams.
- Resilience Under Pressure: Proven ability to work calmly and efficiently under pressure, especially during critical production incidents or tight deadlines. Demonstrates strong problem-solving skills and sound judgment when troubleshooting high-stakes issues in live environments.
- Leadership & Mentoring: A proactive leader who takes ownership of initiatives and helps uplift the team. Capable of mentoring junior engineers, providing constructive feedback, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.
Impact: This role offers the opportunity to shape and enhance the DevOps landscape of the organization. You will directly contribute to faster delivery cycles, more reliable releases, and a strengthened engineering team through your technical expertise and leadership in best practices. If you are passionate about automation, cloud reliability, and mentoring others in DevOps excellence, we encourage you to apply and help drive our infrastructure and delivery
to the next level.
Location & Work Model: Delhi NCR, India – Hybrid (combination of remote and on-site work).
