Principal DevOps Engineer

Objective 1: Optimize CI/CD Pipelines & Standardize IaC Deployment

Outcome: Within 90 days, evaluate and document current CI/CD processes, identify gaps between Dev and Cloud pipelines, and design a unified architecture. By month 6, implement automated testing and rollback strategies across all environments (dev/test/stage/prod). Additionally, provision and manage at least two major environments in Azure using Terraform within the first 60 days, including networking, security, and compute resources.

• Leverage Azure DevOps, Git branching strategies, and automation tools to streamline deployments.
• Collaborate with development and security teams to enforce compliance and best practices.
• Develop reusable Terraform modules.
• Integrate IaC with CI/CD workflows.

Objective 2: Contribute to End-to-End Monitoring & Alerting Framework

Outcome: Deliver a unified monitoring and alerting framework across all environments (dev/test/stage/prod) within 6 months, providing expertise in log aggregation, metrics visualization, and the automation of alerts for critical services.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate Coralogix with Azure Monitor and Prometheus, define KPIs for system health, and automate alerting workflows tied to SLAs.
• Partner with development and operations teams to embed observability standards within CI/CD pipelines.

Objective 3: Deploy Secure, Scalable Containerized Applications

Outcome: Successfully deploy at least one new containerized application using Kubernetes and Helm by the end of the second quarter, ensuring all containers follow secure configuration practices and are integrated with monitoring and alerting systems.

• Build and configure Kubernetes clusters in Azure (AKS).
• Create Helm charts for deployment automation.
• Enforce container security standards.
• Integrate observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Coralogix) for real-time monitoring.
• Align containerization strategy with CI/CD workflows.
