DevOps Engineer

Veridian Tech Solutions, Inc. is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in designing and operating CI/CD platforms across hybrid environments. The role involves implementing automation, reliability engineering, and security practices to enhance software delivery processes.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and operate a standardized CI/CD framework supporting Dev, QA, PartnerLab, Staging, and Production environments
• Define promotion workflows with enforced quality gates and artifact immutability
• Establish PartnerLab as a dedicated integration and validation environment with no direct promotion path to Production
• Enable environment parity across AWS and on-premises systems
• Implement feature flags, canary deployments, blue-green strategies, and phased rollouts
• Enable automated rollback based on health checks, error rates, and SLO breaches
• Support release traceability from commit through production deployment
• Integrate unit, integration, regression, security, and performance testing into CI/CD pipelines
• Enforce automated quality gates prior to environment promotion
• Support manual validation workflows with controlled access, observability, and test artifacts
• Automate database schema versioning, migrations, rollbacks, and validation
• Implement lower-environment refresh pipelines sourced from production data
• Enforce data masking and PII anonymization for all non-production environments
• Validate data integrity and consistency post-refresh
• Define and enforce observability standards across logs, metrics, and traces
• Implement service health dashboards, alerting, and incident signals
• Integrate deployment health into automated release decisions
• Support on-call readiness, incident response, and post-incident learning
• Embed security scanning, secrets management, and access controls into pipelines
• Enforce least-privilege IAM, credential rotation, and artifact integrity verification
• Align CI/CD workflows with enterprise change management and audit requirements

Requirements:

• 10+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and operating end-to-end CI/CD platforms across hybrid environments (AWS and on-premises)
• Proven expertise in automation, reliability engineering, progressive delivery, security-by-design, and platform standardization to enable high-quality, low-risk software delivery at scale
• AWS (mandatory): ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, IAM, CloudFormation, CloudWatch
• Hybrid infrastructure experience with on-prem VM, bare-metal, and internal networking platforms
• Terraform for modular, reusable, and policy-compliant infrastructure provisioning
• GitHub Enterprise & GitHub Actions (workflow design, reusable templates, runners, environments)
• CI/CD orchestration across hybrid AWS and on-prem topologies
• Artifact versioning, promotion, and immutability strategies
• Docker image design, optimization, and security hardening
• Kubernetes (EKS + on-prem) deployment patterns, scaling, and lifecycle management
• Helm-based deployment standardization
• Automated testing frameworks for unit, integration, regression, and performance
• Static and dynamic analysis tools (code quality, security, dependency scanning)
• Feature flag management platforms (or equivalent internal capability)
• Hands-on expertise with Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server (mandatory)
• Schema migration tooling and automated rollback strategies
• Data masking, anonymization, and controlled refresh automation
• Metrics, logging, and tracing using Prometheus, Splunk, New Relic, Grafana, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and ELK
• SLO-driven alerting and deployment health evaluation (Uptrends & PagerDuty)
• Automated rollback and failure containment mechanisms
• Secrets management using HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or equivalent
• Secure pipeline design with controlled credential access
• Compliance-ready logging, approvals, and traceability
• Experience operating in regulated or financial services environments
• Strong written documentation, runbooks, and architectural clarity
• Ability to collaborate with application, infrastructure, security, and QA teams
• Comfortable working in onshore enterprise delivery models
