Devops Automation Engineer

Codelitt partners with ambitious companies to build digital products that solve real business problems. They are seeking a Senior Build Automation Engineer to focus on building the automation layer for infrastructure, environment setup, deployment steps, and validation workflows, ensuring a reliable delivery path.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement automation for provisioning, configuring, and validating cloud platform environments
• Create end-to-end workflows that connect infrastructure setup, application deployment, health checks, and operational handoff
• Automate manual build and deployment steps into repeatable, documented processes
• Help define the golden path for creating and managing platform environments
• Work with Kubernetes-based environments to support cluster setup, deployment automation, configuration, and validation
• Automate post-deployment steps, health checks, service readiness checks, and failure detection
• Support platform teams in making environment creation and updates more consistent, reliable, and observable
• Help improve reliability around deployment pipelines, infrastructure changes, and operational runbooks
• Integrate automation workflows with backend services, internal APIs, scripts, and platform tooling
• Build automation that can trigger, monitor, validate, and report on platform delivery processes
• Work with service owners and infrastructure engineers to understand dependencies, required inputs, expected outputs, and failure scenarios
• Create practical tooling that helps engineering teams move faster without increasing operational risk
• Create clear runbooks, handoff documentation, and troubleshooting guides
• Document assumptions, workflow steps, dependencies, rollback paths, and known limitations
• Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, backend, QA, and delivery stakeholders to make automation usable and maintainable
• Help move the team from manual execution toward repeatable platform delivery

Requirements:

• A strong platform, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure automation engineer with experience building reliable delivery automation
• Comfortable working with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, scripts, APIs, and backend services
• Experienced in designing automation flows that connect multiple systems instead of only maintaining isolated scripts
• Able to reason through environment provisioning, deployment validation, post-deployment checks, rollback paths, and operational handoff
• Comfortable working with engineering and infrastructure stakeholders to understand manual processes and convert them into repeatable automation
• Pragmatic about tooling: you care more about creating reliable workflows than forcing a specific tool into every problem
• Strong at debugging distributed systems, deployment failures, pipeline issues, and infrastructure automation problems
• Able to operate independently, communicate clearly, and bring structure to ambiguous platform work
• Strong ownership and bias toward action
• Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Practical, thoughtful, and focused on reliable outcomes
• Able to simplify complex technical processes into repeatable workflows
• Strong debugging and problem-solving instincts
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, backend, platform, QA, and delivery teams
• Able to bring calm, structure, and sound judgment to complex technical environments
• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, infrastructure automation, backend automation, or similar roles
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes
• Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Experience automating infrastructure, environment setup, or platform delivery workflows
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP
• Comfortable writing scripts or small services in Bash, Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar languages
• Experience integrating automation with APIs, backend services, internal tools, or workflow systems
• Experience with Terraform, Crossplane, Helm, or other infrastructure/platform automation tools is helpful
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal, Argo Workflows, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar is a strong plus
• Experience building health checks, validation scripts, rollback workflows, and operational runbooks
• Experience working in enterprise platform, SAP delivery, or complex cloud infrastructure environments is a plus
