About The Role
The Senior DevOps Engineer, Team Lead is responsible for leading DevOps practices, deployment automation, cloud operations, reliability, release support, and operational readiness across Digital & Transformation. This role provides hands-on technical leadership for DevOps responsibilities that support the broader platform across Solution Engineering, Application Engineering, and Data & AI Engineering.
This role sits within Digital & Transformation, helping to advance how DNV performs Due Diligence, Verification & Assurance, and Renewables Certification work across Energy Systems.
Working in close partnership with Product leadership, Solution Engineering, Application Engineering, Data & AI Engineering, Platform Security & Compliance, Solution Architecture, and globally distributed engineering teams, this role ensures platform delivery is automated, reliable, secure, observable, and ready for production use.
The Senior DevOps Engineer, Team Lead supports a DevOps team across traditional application delivery, data and AI services, APIs, and low-code or hybrid platform deployment scenarios. The role has a particular focus on supporting the low-code hybrid platform environment used by Solution Engineering while also enabling reliable delivery for web applications, data services, AI-enabled capabilities, and shared platform components.
This role requires strong DevOps fundamentals, practical cloud operations experience, and the ability to lead organized delivery across multiple platform teams. The ideal candidate is comfortable with CI/CD, infrastructure automation, environment management, monitoring, release governance, security controls, and structured DevOps or agile delivery practices in Azure, AWS, and hybrid platform environments.
This role is based at our DNV office in Chennai, India. Further details regarding role-specific requirements will be shared during the interview process.
