Devops Analyst

CI/CD Strategy & Roadmap:

• Define and champion the strategic vision and roadmap for our digital engineering CI/CD pipelines, aligning with overall business objectives and modern DevOps principles.
• Lead the architectural design of end-to-end CI/CD workflows, from code commit to production deployment, ensuring scalability, resilience, and security.

Platform & Tooling Expertise:

• Architect and implement advanced CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions as the primary orchestration engine for source code management, build, and deployment.
• Design and configure Azure resources to support CI/CD, including Azure Container Apps for hosting microservices and other containerized workloads, Azure Storage, Azure Key Vault, Azure Networking, etc.
• Integrate and optimize SonarQube for continuous code quality, security analysis (SAST), and technical debt management within all pipelines.
• Implement and manage Snyk for comprehensive security scanning, including Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for open-source dependencies, container image scanning, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and remediated early in the development lifecycle.
• Develop specialized CI/CD processes and automation for the SAP Hybris e-commerce platform, considering its unique build, deployment, and configuration requirements. • Automate change management processes, integrating with Atlassian Jira to provide a seamless experience for Agile software development process
• Provide design support for full stack caching and CDN, leveraging Cloudflare as the Content Delivery Network provider.

Automation & Development

• Develop and maintain robust automation scripts and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to provision and manage Azure resources and pipeline components.
• Implement automated testing strategies (unit, integration, performance, security) within the CI/CD pipelines to ensure high-quality releases.
• Drive the adoption of DevOps principles for managing infrastructure and application deployments to Azure Container Apps.

Security & Compliance:

• Embed DevSecOps practices throughout the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring automated security gates, vulnerability scanning (leveraging Snyk and SonarSource), and secret management.

• Configure Snyk to provide actionable insights and automated fix pull requests for identified vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, and containers.

• Ensure all CI/CD processes adhere to internal security policies, compliance standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Provide guidance to CISO team for WAF configurations and Site security

• Performance & Optimization:

• Continuously monitor, analyze, and optimize CI/CD pipeline performance, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks to reduce build and deployment times.
• Implement caching strategies for build artifacts and dependencies, to enhance pipeline efficiency.
• Design, configure, and automate the deployment and management of Cloudflare CDN settings (routing, origin configuration, caching rules, WAF configurations, page rules) to optimize performance, enhance security, and ensure high availability for our e-commerce platform and digital assets.
• Drive improvements in release frequency, reliability, and rollback capabilities.

• Collaboration & Mentorship

  :
• Collaborate closely with development teams (including Hybris developers), operations, QA, and security to understand their needs and provide expert guidance on CI/CD and DevOps best practices.
• Act as a technical leader and mentor, sharing knowledge, developing training materials, and fostering a culture of automation, quality, and shared responsibility across engineering teams.
• Champion a "you build it, you run it" philosophy. Troubleshooting & Support: • Provide expert-level support for complex issues, performing root cause analysis and implementing sustainable solutions
