Devops Engineer

Job Title: Devops Engineer

Work Location: Bangalore

Shift timings: 8.00am to 5.00pm OR 12.00pm to 9.00pm IST

Work mode: Hybrid - 3 Days office

The Role Summary:
You will be the primary platform engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating CI/CD infrastructure and Kubernetes environments for the development team across on-premises and Azure cloud. This is a high-autonomy, high-ownership role: you will be the go-to person for everything from pipeline templates to cluster operations to infrastructure migrations.

What You'll Do:

• Own CI/CD: Maintain and extend standardised Azure DevOps YAML pipeline templates consumed by all app teams. Manage build/deployment agent images and their Kubernetes-hosted runners.
• Run Kubernetes: Operate on-premises clusters (ArgoCD/GitOps) and AKS clusters in Azure (FluxCD/GitOps). Provision namespaces, RBAC, service accounts and middleware (Consul, RabbitMQ, Vault, Elasticsearch, monitoring stack).
• Automate everything: Namespace provisioning, Azure DevOps pipeline and variable group creation via API, Ansible-managed reverse proxies, automated certificate workflows.
• Monitor: Maintain Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager stack including a custom monitoring operator for auto-generating dashboards per team.
• Support dev teams: Technical consulting on containerisation, Helm charts, pipeline development, Kubernetes deployments and incident response for internal and external teams.
• Drive migrations: Lead or support workload migrations from legacy on-prem (ES-AREA1) to segregated Azure environments (AAG011) and toward the group-wide Odysseus AKS platform.
• Infrastructure as Code: Manage Azure infrastructure via Bicep; manage package registries (Azure Container Registry, JFrog Artifactory, HashiCorp Vault).

What You Bring
Must-have:

• Solid Kubernetes experience (operations, RBAC, Helm, Kustomize, troubleshooting)
• Azure DevOps — pipelines, agents, service connections, variable groups
• GitOps with FluxCD or ArgoCD
• Scripting proficiency: Bash, PowerShell or Python for automation
• Git-based workflow as a daily habit

Strong plus:

• HashiCorp Vault (secrets management, ExternalSecrets)
• Prometheus / Grafana
• Azure (AKS, Container Registry, networking)
• Ansible
• JFrog Artifactor
• .NET and/or Java application ecosystems (for support & build pipeline context)
• AWS EKS experience

Nice to have:

• Crossplane, Skaffold
• Kubernetes operator development
• Experience in regulated industries (food testing, pharma, life sciences)

What We Offer

• Full ownership of a platform that serves the development team in Food DACH
• A well-documented environment with a structured handover (Day 0/1/2 runbooks)
• Hybrid work model
• Exposure to group-level cloud engineering via the Odysseus migration program
• Direct impact on lab operations across the DACH region

Location & Language

• Germany (DACH region). Working language is English; German is a plus for stakeholder communication.
