Senior DevOps Engineer

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Bjak, your key responsibilities include designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for deployments, managing AWS/GCP cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, and automating the provisioning and scaling of Kubernetes clusters. Additionally, you will implement observability solutions for monitoring and ensure security compliance across cloud environments.

Candidates for the Senior DevOps Engineer role at Bjak should possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a similar field, along with at least 3 years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Engineering. Strong hands-on experience with AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD tools is essential, along with knowledge of security best practices.

A Senior DevOps Engineer at Bjak needs to have solid experience with AWS/GCP cloud environments, Kubernetes, and Docker. Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins, as well as observability tools like Datadog and Grafana, is also important to ensure effective deployment and monitoring of applications.

At Bjak, career growth is a priority, especially for Senior DevOps Engineers. We offer strong learning and development plans, ensuring that you can continuously enhance your skills and advance your career within the organization. This supportive environment encourages innovation and professional development.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Bjak, you can expect a global environment with a flat organizational structure that fosters collaboration and innovation. Our hybrid working model allows for flexible working hours, creating a conducive atmosphere for productivity and work-life balance.

Certainly! CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. It is essential in DevOps as it automates the integration of code changes from multiple contributors and ensures that your applications are consistently deployed to production. This leads to faster releases, reduced risk of deployment failures, and overall improved software quality.

In the event of a security breach, I would first initiate an incident response plan, which includes identifying the breach’s scope and assessing the damage. Following that, I would work on containment measures, notify relevant stakeholders, and begin a thorough investigation. Lastly, I would implement measures to prevent future breaches, such as improving security policies and controls.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. IaC is important because it allows for better scalability, repeatability, and fewer errors in the deployment process, ensuring that environments are consistent across different stages of the lifecycle.

To ensure high availability in a cloud environment, I would design a system across multiple availability zones, implement load balancing, and utilize auto-scaling features. Regularly testing failover procedures is also critical to ensure that services remain uninterrupted during outages.

I typically use tools like Datadog, Grafana, and ELK stack for monitoring and logging. These tools provide comprehensive insights into performance, allowing for proactive management of infrastructure and applications to identify potential issues before they impact users.

I have hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deploying applications, managing configurations through Helm, and scaling workloads efficiently. I focus on maintaining optimal performance and implementing updates while ensuring minimal downtime for users.

Automation plays a pivotal role in my DevOps processes by streamlining repetitive tasks, reducing human error, and accelerating delivery. Whether through CI/CD pipelines or Infrastructure as Code, automation ensures consistency and enables teams to focus on higher-value activities.

I approach incident response with a predefined plan, which includes quick detection, communication with stakeholders, and systematic diagnosis. For disaster recovery, I ensure that backup processes are in place and conduct regular drills to verify that our systems can be restored promptly with minimal data loss.

Collaboration is vital in a DevOps team as it fosters transparency, aligns goals, and improves communication between development and operations. This alignment helps to break down silos, encouraging a culture of shared responsibility and increasing overall productivity.

Certainly! In my previous role, I led a project to migrate legacy applications to a microservices architecture on AWS. This involved creating CI/CD pipelines along with infrastructure as code, which significantly reduced deployment times and improved scalability. The result was enhanced performance and increased user satisfaction.
