## Description

### Job Description

We are looking for a **DevOps Engineer** to support the development, deployment, automation, monitoring, and security of our cloud-based infrastructure and software delivery pipelines.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with CI/CD, cloud platforms, containers, infrastructure as code, and operational monitoring. In addition, this role requires a solid understanding of **DevSecOps practices**, including secure CI/CD pipelines, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, infrastructure hardening, and security-aware automation.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a more senior DevOps or DevSecOps role while working closely with engineering, security, and product teams.

### Key Responsibilities

-   Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines for application deployment.
-   Support cloud infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and maintenance.
-   Work with containerized workloads using Docker and/or Kubernetes.
-   Assist with infrastructure as code using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar.
-   Monitor system performance, reliability, availability, and scalability.
-   Troubleshoot deployment, infrastructure, networking, and environment issues.
-   Support development, staging, and production environments.
-   Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting and configuration management tools.
-   Help improve deployment speed, system reliability, and operational efficiency.
-   Integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.
-   Support vulnerability management processes by identifying, triaging, and helping remediate security findings.
-   Assist with secure secrets management using tools such as Vault, cloud secret managers, or CI/CD secret stores.
-   Apply security best practices for cloud infrastructure, containers, networks, and access control.
-   Help maintain least-privilege IAM policies and secure access patterns.
-   Support audit, compliance, and security documentation where required.
-   Collaborate with engineering teams to promote secure development and deployment practices.
-   Monitor systems for security-relevant events and assist with incident response activities.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
-   1–4 years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, systems administration, or a related role.
-   Practical experience with OVH or at least one major cloud provider: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
-   Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar.
-   Familiarity with Linux systems, shell scripting, networking basics, and troubleshooting.
-   Experience with Docker and basic container lifecycle management.
-   Familiarity with Kubernetes or container orchestration concepts.
-   Basic experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
-   Understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies, and release management.
-   Basic knowledge of cloud security principles, IAM, encryption, secrets management, and network security.
-   Awareness of DevSecOps practices and common security tooling.
-   Ability to write scripts in Bash, Python, or another scripting language.
-   Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn.

### Nice to Have
