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 RESPONSIBILITIESCI/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
