We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on Python development to join our dynamic Technology team. In this intermediate-level position, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and maintaining robust and scalable application systems. Leveraging your expertise in CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native technologies (OpenShift/Kubernetes), and Python, you will drive automation, optimize performance, and ensure the reliability of our critical applications. This role requires a hands-on approach, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to mentor junior colleagues while acting as a subject matter expert.

Key Responsibilities:

• CI/CD & Automation: Design, implement, and manage end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using tools like Lightspeed and Jenkins, integrating with Bitbucket/GitHub for robust code management and leveraging Shell scripting for automation.
• Cloud-Native Platform Management: Provide expertise and hands-on experience with OpenShift/Kubernetes infrastructure, including deployment, debugging, capacity monitoring, and understanding of service mesh architecture.
• Application Development & Optimization: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, scalable Python (3.x, Anaconda) applications, specifically within a microservice architecture deployed on OpenShift/Kubernetes.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop and maintain comprehensive automated tests (unit, integration) to ensure code quality, system reliability, and performance.
• Operational Excellence: Monitor container logs, troubleshoot and debug production issues, and optimize application performance and stability using tools like Kibana and Grafana.
• Process & Release Management: Manage SDLC processes, application promotions, and release management workflows utilizing tools like ServiceNow.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Foster cross-functional coordination with development, infrastructure, and operations teams. Serve as an advisor and coach to less experienced analysts, and act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to senior stakeholders.
• Standards & Best Practices: Understand, implement, and define essential operating standards, processes, and best practices in Python development, CI/CD, and DevOps methodologies.
• Risk Management: Appropriately assess and mitigate risks related to business decisions, ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies, while escalating and managing control issues with transparency.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience: Proven experience (typically 4+ years) in application development, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
• Programming Languages: Strong proficiency in Python 3.x (including Anaconda), with excellent debugging skills.
• DevOps & CI/CD Tools:
  • Extensive experience with CI/CD pipeline creation and management (e.g., Lightspeed, Jenkins, GitHub/Bitbucket).
  • Proficiency in Shell Scripting for automation.
  • Experience with Release Management platforms (e.g., ServiceNow).
• Cloud-Native Technologies:
  • Hands-on expertise with OpenShift/Kubernetes infrastructure and microservice architectures.
  • Exposure to service mesh architecture.
  • Experience with container log monitoring and debugging.
• Monitoring & Logging: Practical experience with observability tools such as Kibana and Grafana.
• Methodologies: Solid understanding and practical experience with SDLC processes and DevOps methodologies.
