Your Role

The main focus of this role is development-oriented. You will design, implement, and maintain the DevOps platform that supports the development process and release pipelines for Road Logistics applications throughout the entire software development lifecycle. A key aspect of the role is optimizing workflows through automation and well-architected systems. Additionally, you will be involved in migrating applications to containers and cloud environments, including OpenShift, Kubernetes, and AWS. Ensuring the efficient utilization of cloud-based infrastructure and services across all teams is essential, preventing silos or “knowledge islands.” You will also champion best practices such as observability, Infrastructure-as-Code, and GitOps, seamlessly integrating them into the existing infrastructure and processes.

Your Responsibilities

• Taking part in managing non-production and production environments for Road Logistics applications.
• Implementing observability pillars with centralized monitoring, logging and alerting.
• Automating tasks and processes as much as possible.
• Collaborating with infrastructure and product development teams to improve applications and processes.
• Ensure security and compliance across all stages of the software development lifecycle.
• Promoting DevOps culture and mindset.
  
  

Your Skills And Experiences

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider, preferably AWS.
• Strong Linux background with experience in configuration management tools (Ansible preferred).
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools, ideally Jenkins or GitLab, with experience in automation and deployment.
• Scripting skills for automating routine tasks using Python, Groovy, or Bash.
• Expertise in container tooling and orchestration, such as Kubernetes or OpenShift.
• Ability to develop scalable solutions that do not “reinvent the wheel” but can rather themselves serve as blueprints for tackling similar or even new challenges .
• Experience working in hybrid infrastructures, securely connecting cloud and on-premises environments, with strong collaboration skills in international teams and proficiency in English (spoken and written).
