DevOps Engineer - Manager

Role purpose

You'll build and run the CI/CD pipelines which build state of the art application platforms and deploy AWS infrastructure for a multi-year programme moving a large portfolio of middle-office applications to AWS. This is a hands-on engineering role: most of your day is spent writing pipeline code, Terraform and scripts, and fixing builds and deployments. You'll work closely with full-stack application teams (ReactJS and Java), database engineers and SRE.

Key responsibilities

Build tooling

• Set up and maintain front-end builds with npm and pnpm, vite, babel etc including workspaces/monorepos, dependency caching, lockfile management and private registries.
• Set up and maintain Java builds with Maven and Gradle, including multi-module projects, dependency management and build performance.
• Publish and version artifacts through Artifactory (or similar), and keep builds reproducible.

CI/CD pipelines

• Design and build pipelines in Harness and GitHub Actions for build, test, security scanning and deployment across all environments.
• Create reusable pipeline templates so application teams can onboard quickly and consistently.
• Add quality and security gates: unit tests, code coverage, SAST/SCA scanning, container image scanning and approval steps.
• Support blue/green and canary deployments, automated rollback and release tracking that meets State Street change management requirements.

Infrastructure as code and AWS

• Write and maintain Terraform modules for AWS: VPC, IAM, EC2, ECS/EKS, ALB, S3, RDS and related services.
• Manage Terraform state, module versioning and policy checks; detect and fix configuration drift.
• Build and run container platforms (Docker, ECS/EKS) for application workloads.
• Integrate secrets management (HashiCorp Vault/CyberArk) into pipelines and runtime environments.

Linux

• Build, harden and automate Linux servers and container images for applications moving off Solaris and Windows.
• Write Shell and Python scripts for automation, troubleshooting and operational tasks.
• Support migration of batch jobs and file transfers to the target platform (e.g. AutoSys, MFX/SFTP).

Reliability and collaboration

• Work with SRE to add logging, metrics and alerting (e.g. Dynatrace, Splunk) to pipelines and environments.
• Troubleshoot build, deployment and environment issues for application teams.
• Document runbooks and standards, and use AI assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot) to speed up pipeline, Terraform and script development, with review.
