About the role

You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to strengthen CI/CD pipeline management, cloud operations, automation, monitoring, and DevSecOps practices across government systems.

• Implement secure deployment automation, including approval workflows, quality gates, audit trails, rollback procedures and release controls.
• Support cloud operations in AWS and GCC environments, handling infrastructure configuration, environment management, operational monitoring and production support.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts, reusable pipeline templates, runbooks and deployment standards to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Integrate security controls into pipelines – vulnerability scanning, dependency checks, secrets management, code quality validation and compliance checks.
• Monitor application, infrastructure and pipeline health via enterprise monitoring tools, dashboards, alerts and log analysis.
• Coordinate release management activities and deployment planning with development, infrastructure, security and operations teams.
• Conduct root‑cause analysis for deployment, pipeline, application, infrastructure and cloud incidents and drive corrective actions.
• Execute configuration and infrastructure changes through formal change‑management processes with proper documentation and risk controls.
• Maintain access controls and perform regular access reviews across DevOps platforms, repositories, cloud environments and deployment tools.
• Support vulnerability management, audit requests, security compliance reviews and remediation tracking in line with government requirements.
