About The Position

Halogen Engineering Group is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join their team. This role involves supporting the development life cycle of platform architectural design, deployment, and debugging. The engineer will be responsible for building a release pipeline for fast and safe delivery of critical business software to Production, and developing/maintaining sound version control best practices-based CM systems (GIT), including branching and merging strategies. The position also requires serving as a technical lead for an Agile team, participating in all Agile ceremonies, and automating release deployments across various stacks using scripting languages and automation toolkits. The role includes setting up new sites and applications via configuration management tools like Puppet and Ansible, maintaining/upgrading/patching tracking and documentation software (Confluence/Jira), and assisting with the design and maintenance of web service infrastructure and deployments. The engineer will analyze service stacks for improvements, identify processes for streamlining and automation, and communicate effectively to bridge stakeholder and development requirements. Support for operations and maintenance of confidentiality are also key aspects of the role. The position requires leveraging programming languages such as Python, Ruby, Perl, and Java, proficiency with DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering methodologies, and automating network infrastructure configuration using Software Defined Networking. A holistic view of service development and deployment architecture, understanding of SLA requirements, high availability architectures, performance optimization, and monitoring techniques are essential. The role involves setting up and configuring continuous integration environments using Configuration Management, containerization, serverless technologies, and Kubernetes, and architecting best practices for software build tools and continuous integration tools. Experience working cross-functionally across multiple teams is also required.
