Are you an advocate of fast release cycle times, continuous delivery and measurable quality? If this is you, then join an energetic team of DevOps Engineers building next generation development applications for PDI!
As a DevOps Engineer, you will partner with a team of senior engineers in the design, development and maintenance of our CI/CD DevOps platform for new and existing PDI solutions. The platform will be used internally by the engineering teams, providing them an internal pipeline to work with POCs, alpha, betas and release candidate environments, as well as supporting the pipeline into our production stage and release environments managed by our CloudOps Engineers and running hybrid clouds composed of PDI datacenter based private cloud clusters federated with public cloud-based clusters.
You will play a key role in designing & building our CI/CD delivery pipeline as we drive to continuously increase our cloud maturity. You will be supporting automated deployment mechanisms, writing hybrid cloud infrastructure as code, automated testing, source control integration and lab environment management. You will review, recommend & implement system enhancements in the form of new processes or tools that improve the effectiveness of our SDLC while ensuring secure development practices are followed and measured. You will be responsible formaintaining order in the DevOps environment by ensuring all stakeholders (testers, developers, architects, product owners, CloudOps, IT Ops…) are trained in operating procedures and best practices.
With the variety of environments, platforms, technologies & languages, you must be comfortable working in both Windows & Linux environments, including
PowerShell &
bash scripting, database administration as well asbare metal virtualization technologies and public cloud environments (
AWS ).
