Our stack includes AWS, GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins CloudBees, Artifactory, SonarQube, Fortify, Prisma Cloud, Qualys, Terraform, Terragrunt, and Python—and we’re looking for someone who can bring both deep expertise and fresh ideas.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and manage CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins CloudBees and GitHub Enterprise.
• Define and enforce branching and version control strategies, including Git Flow and trunk-based development.
• Architect and manage AWS cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability, availability, and cost efficiency.
• Implement secure, least-privilege IAM roles, policies, and permissions across all environments.
• Automate infrastructure deployment using Terraform and Terragrunt.
• Develop automation scripts in Python and Bash to support deployment, testing, and monitoring workflows.
• Manage artifact lifecycle using JFrog Artifactory.
• Integrate and maintain code quality and security tools such as SonarQube, Fortify, Prisma Cloud, and Qualys.
• Ensure strong observability practices using CloudWatch, Datadog, Prometheus, or equivalent tools.
• Work with security and compliance teams to support audits and apply DevSecOps principles across the stack.
• Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response and post-mortem efforts.

Good to Have

• AWS Certifications (DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Security Specialty).
• Experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP, HIPAA, SOC2).
• Familiarity with Zero Trust architectures and secrets management.
• Experience implementing policy-as-code and compliance automation tools.

As part of a leading global analytics and digital solutions company, you can look forward to:

• A competitive salary with a generous bonus, private healthcare, critical illness life assurance at 4 x your annual salary, income protection insurance, and a rewarding pension.
• At EXL, we are committed to providing our employees with the tools and resources they need to succeed and excel in their careers.
