The DevOps Engineer / Specialist is an intermediate to senior technical role responsible for designing, building, automating, and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployment infrastructure, and cloud/on-premise platforms in coordination with the Technology and Application Development teams.
This role bridges the gap between software development and IT operations to drive automated software delivery, continuous integration, release management, infrastructure-as-code, and operational reliability. A strong development background or technical familiarity with Java and Spring Boot microservices is preferred to effectively support, troubleshoot, and optimize application lifecycle workflows.
