DevOps Specialist | Spécialiste DevOps

Jesta I.S.•Westmount, QC

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

The DevOps Specialist will modernize and operate CI/CD pipelines, release automation, environment provisioning, and observability for Jesta’s Vision Suite — a mission-critical ERP and supply-chain platform. You will lead pipeline and deployment engineering across cloud and hybrid environments (Azure + Oracle), improve release reliability and security, enable developer self-service, and drive DevOps maturity across product teams. This is a hands-on role combining deep technical execution, cross-team influence, and opportunities to shape our DevOps and cloud roadmap.

Requirements

5+ years in DevOps, CI/CD, or automation roles.
Strong, hands-on Azure DevOps experience (Pipelines, Repos, Boards) and YAML pipelines.
Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD and supporting production cloud/hybrid environments.
Experience deploying/supporting applications backed by Oracle and coordinating DB deployment artifacts (schema, PL/SQL).
Proficiency with scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python) and Git branching strategies.
Advanced CI/CD pipeline automation and release orchestration (Azure DevOps).
Ability to automate Oracle DB deployment workflows safely.
Strong cloud (Azure) knowledge; security/compliance (DevSecOps) awareness.
Excellent troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and cross-team leadership.
Clear communicator and effective documenter.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.
Azure/DevOps certifications (AZ-400, AZ-104), Oracle/PL-SQL training, and/or IaC/cloud-governance certifications are preferred.
Familiarity or interest in AIOps / AI-enhanced operational analysis is a plus.

Responsibilities

Design, implement and maintain robust Azure DevOps (YAML) pipelines for builds, tests and multi-stage deployments.
Create reusable pipeline templates, standardized patterns, and modular tasks to accelerate delivery across product teams.
Optimize pipeline performance (parallelization, caching, artifact handling) and reduce manual interventions.
Coordinate CI/CD tasks that involve Oracle database artifacts (schema promotion, PL/SQL packaging, SQL scripts).
Incorporate AI/AIOps insights to detect pipeline inefficiencies, predict failures, and suggest optimizations.
Automate end-to-end releases across Dev, Integration, QA and Production for both SaaS and customer-hosted environments.
Implement multi-component orchestration, validation checks, automated rollback strategies and traceable release records.
Integrate deployment steps for database migrations and manage schema change processes safely.
Embed supply-chain security practices: artifact integrity, SBOM validation and secure artifact storage.
Integrate unit, integration, regression and security tests into CI/CD flows; enforce quality gates and test-based release criteria.
Use AI-assisted test prioritization and selective execution to reduce cycle time while keeping confidence high.
Improve test coverage and pipeline feedback loops to shorten debug and remediation cycles.
Implement IaC (Terraform/ARM) to provision and manage development, test and integration environments reliably.
Reduce configuration drift and speed environment reprovisioning; support hybrid stacks including Oracle instances.
Apply cloud governance and FinOps practices to control cost and enforce deployment policies.
Automate health checks, failover validation and environment sanity tests.
Integrate SAST/DAST, secrets management and compliance scans into automated pipelines.
Ensure deployments align with SOC2, GDPR and internal security policies.
Automate secure credential usage, rotate secrets and enforce least-privilege access in CI/CD.
Build internal delivery tooling, self-service pipeline patterns and developer onboarding artifacts to boost productivity.
Create clear documentation, runbooks and troubleshooting guides for CI/CD and deployment processes.
Mentor and support developers to adopt automation and resolve pipeline issues.
Integrate logging, tracing and metrics into applications and pipelines; feed observability signals back to CI for automated health checks.
Enable automated alerting, incident diagnostics and fast rollback or mitigation steps during releases.
Monitor and optimize Oracle-related processes and database impact within delivery flows.
Evaluate and refine branching, versioning and release strategies (trunk-based, release branches, automated versioning).
Drive platform engineering initiatives for reusable components and delivery standards.
Advocate for DevSecOps, AIOps and continuous improvement across teams.
