Collaborates closely with Data Engineers, MLOps Engineers, and Solution Architects to ensure the infrastructure and pipelines meet performance, scalability, and compliance requirements. Follows best practices for platform security, auditing, and cost management, aligning with enterprise Landing Zone (LZ) policies.

Typical Duties

• Design and implement GitLab-based CI/CD pipelines for deploying containerised services to AKS.
• Build and maintain Dockerfiles and container image workflows, pushing to internal container registries.
• Define and manage AKS cluster configurations, ensuring secure and scalable workloads.
• Write and maintain Terraform modules for provisioning cloud infrastructure in line with Azure Landing Zone standards.
• Manage secrets, configuration, and access using Azure Key Vault and Azure AD.
• Ensure connectivity between on-prem services and Azure cloud infrastructure using GreenLink and hybrid networking.
• Collaborate with MLOps and Data Engineers to ensure reproducible, reliable, and auditable infrastructure across environments.
• Monitor system health, logging, and metrics using platform observability tools (e.g. Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana where applicable).

What We’re Looking For

• Azure Landing Zone principles, vNet design, RBAC, networking, and hybrid connectivity.
• CI/CD tooling, especially GitLab CI/CD.
• Container orchestration (AKS) and Docker best practices.
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform or Bicep).
• Networking principles, including hub/spoke topology and private endpoints.
• You will have experience of writing, maintaining and debugging CI/CD pipelines, ideally in GitLab CI.
• You will have experience of deploying and running applications on Kubernetes using Helm, ideally on Red Hat OpenShift.
• You will have experience of GitOps delivery, ideally with Argo CD, where every change reaches production through version control.
• Experience of building, scanning and maintaining container images and managing them through registries such as Harbor or Nexus.
• Understanding of secure deployment, including secrets management (such as HashiCorp Vault), least privilege access and single sign-on, ideally in restricted or air gapped environments.
• Experience of operating and troubleshooting services in production, using monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.
