DevOps Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated DevOps Engineer with 1 to 2 years of hands-on experience in containerization, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, automation, and production support. The candidate will help build and maintain reliable deployment pipelines, manage infrastructure as code, support databases and application services, and strengthen security, backup, and disaster recovery practices.

Key Responsibilities

• CI/CD, Automation & Application Deployment
• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins for automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Build and manage Docker images and containers; support containerized application deployments and troubleshooting.
• Work with developers to deploy and operate Node.js applications across development, staging, and production environments.
• Write and maintain Bash scripts to automate routine operations, deployments, health checks, and log-management tasks.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Management
• Provision, configure, and maintain infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including compute instances, virtual cloud networks (VCNs), storage, access controls, and related cloud services.
• Use Terraform to define, provision, and manage infrastructure as code; maintain reusable configurations and track changes safely.
• Monitor application and infrastructure availability, resource utilization, logs, and performance; investigate incidents and support root-cause analysis.
• Maintain environment configuration and deployment documentation, and follow controlled change and rollback procedures.
• Databases, Messaging & Caching
• Support the setup, configuration, monitoring, backup, restore, and troubleshooting of PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.
• Support Redis for caching and related operational tasks, and Kafka for messaging/broker health and basic troubleshooting.
• Coordinate with development teams on database connectivity, performance, capacity, access permissions, and service availability.
• Help verify backup completion and participate in restore testing; follow approved procedures for database changes.
• Security, Reliability & Disaster Recovery
• Apply infrastructure security best practices, including least-privilege access, secrets handling, secure configurations, and timely patching.
• Support access management, firewall/network rules, vulnerability remediation, and secure handling of credentials and configuration files.
• Assist in setting up and maintaining backup and disaster recovery (DR) procedures, recovery documentation, and periodic DR/restore tests.
• Monitor service alerts, respond to incidents, escalate risks promptly, and participate in on-call or scheduled production support as required.

Required Technical Skills

• Containers: Docker images, containers, registries, volumes, networks, and basic troubleshooting.
• Cloud: Hands-on experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including compute, networking, IAM, storage, and monitoring fundamentals.
• CI/CD & IaC: Jenkins pipeline fundamentals and Terraform for infrastructure provisioning.
• Databases & Services: Operational familiarity with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, and Node.js application deployments.
• Scripting: Bash scripting for automation and routine system administration.
• Security & DR: Basic server hardening, access management, patching, backup/restore, monitoring, and disaster recovery concepts.
• Operating Systems & Networking: Linux administration, command-line troubleshooting, DNS, TCP/IP, ports, and basic networking.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree, diploma, or equivalent practical experience in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 1 to 2 years of relevant experience in DevOps, cloud/infrastructure operations, deployment automation, or system administration.
• Candidates should be comfortable learning new tools, working with developers, and following documented operational procedures.
• Cloud, Linux, Docker, Jenkins, or Terraform certifications are a plus, but are not mandatory.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Reliability and success rate of CI/CD pipelines and deployments.
• Timely resolution or escalation of infrastructure and deployment incidents.
• Availability and health monitoring of applications, databases, and cloud resources.
• Completion of scheduled backups and participation in successful restore/DR tests.
• Infrastructure changes documented and managed through approved automation and change-control processes.

Note: The role is intended for an early-career engineer. Practical hands-on knowledge of the listed technologies is preferred. Experience supporting workloads hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is required.
