What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cloud DevOps Engineer position at Wakefern Food Corp.?
Summary
The Cloud DevOps Engineer primary responsibilities will be defining and provisioning infrastructure resources using code, enabling automated and repeatable deployments. This eliminates manual configuration, reduces errors, and ensures consistency across environments. Cloud DevOps Engineers must be proficient in tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, GCP, and Azure Resource Manager to define infrastructure components such as virtual machines, networks, storage, and databases.
Furthermore, they are responsible for automating various aspects of the software development lifecycle, including build processes, testing, and deployments. Automation streamlines workflows, accelerates delivery times, and improves overall efficiency. This often involves scripting using languages like Python, Bash, or PowerShell, and integrating with automation platforms such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. A Cloud DevOps Engineer should have a deep understanding of automation principles and the ability to design and implement automated solutions that meet specific business requirements. By leveraging automation, Cloud DevOps Engineers enable organizations to achieve greater agility, scalability, and resilience in their cloud environments.
Need to have hands-on experience across multi-cloud environments ( Azure, GCP) and extensive expertise in DevOps automation, CI / CD pipeline management, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), containerization, and cloud security.
The ideal candidate will be responsible for building, managing, and optimizing DevOps pipelines, driving innovation, and introducing new solutions to streamline our cloud and DevOps processes. This role requires a deep understanding of cloud architecture, automation, microservices, and security best practices to support scalable and resilient cloud-based applications.
