Lead/Architect, DevOps

As Architect, DevOps, you'll lead the technical vision and architectural design of DevOps platforms across the Icertis engineering ecosystem. This hands-on role requires deep expertise in building secure, scalable, and automated DevOps solutions, while collaborating across Product Engineering, CloudOps, SRE, and IT teams to ensure continuous delivery excellence. What You’ll Do • Own the design, development, and delivery of enterprise-grade DevOps automation, tooling, and platform architecture across the full application lifecycle. • Craft secure, scalable, and maintainable DevOps solutions, enabling product teams to self-service environment provisioning, builds, and deployments. • Define architectural standards and best practices for DevOps toolchains including GitOps and Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, TFS pipelines. • Architect robust infrastructure templates and provisioning patterns using IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, and ARM templates. • Enable lifecycle management of container workloads using Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm ensuring scalable deployments and rollout strategies. • Build and expose internal tooling and APIs (via PowerShell, Python + FastAPI or equivalents) to accelerate platform capabilities and developer productivity. • Incorporate observability and visibility by integrating monitoring/CMDB tools (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, AppInsights). • Collaborate cross-functionally with SRE, CloudOps, Security, and IT to enforce resilient, compliant, and scalable infrastructure patterns. • Lead incident response, technical root cause analysis, and continuous improvements to pipeline stability and rollback mechanisms. • Champion reusable toolkits and DevOps frameworks that promote consistency, speed, and reliability across global engineering teams. What We’re Looking For • 12+ years in software engineering, platform architecture, with proven enterprise-grade delivery. • 4+ years designing DevOps architecture in Azure-heavy, Microsoft-technology platforms • Mastery of CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, TFS), GitOps principles, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, ARM). • Hands-on experience in container orchestration with Kubernetes (AKS) and Docker/Helm deployments. • Strong backend/API automation experience using PowerShell and Python (FastAPI or similar). • Skilled in monitoring and observability integrations (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK). • Solid understanding of platform security, compliance, multi-tenant resilience, and rollback strategies. • Excellent communicator capable of influencing Product Engineering, CloudOps, SRE, and executive stakeholders. • Certifications such as Azure Solutions, Azure DevOps, or relevant cloud IaC certifications preferred.
