Job Description

As a DevOps Engineer within our Commercialization Technology team, this role will help evolve and strengthen the technology platforms that enable portfolio decision intelligence and governance operations. Come join a team that is passionate about innovation and making life better with technology!

This position will involve hands-on software engineering, DevOps, and platform engineering across the Commercialization Technology landscape, with a focus on DevSecOps, containerization, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD automation, observability, and secure technology delivery. The successful candidate will work closely with engineers, architects, product owners, security teams, and agile teams to improve the reliability, security, scalability, and deployment of enterprise technology solutions.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Develop, automate, and enhance DevOps capabilities and platform components using established engineering standards, architecture patterns, and security guidance.
• Develop and maintain automation, tooling, and supporting services using technologies such as Python, PowerShell, TypeScript/JavaScript, and shell scripting as appropriate.
• Evaluate application and platform requirements to determine appropriate infrastructure, deployment, automation, and operational approaches across cloud, containerized, and enterprise technology environments.
• Implement and support infrastructure and deployment patterns for enterprise applications, including containerized workloads, Kubernetes-based platforms, AWS services, networking, certificates, secrets, identity, and environment configuration.
• Support the secure deployment and operation of enterprise applications across development, test, pre-production, and production environments, promoting consistent and repeatable platform practices.
• Translate technical requirements and application needs into repeatable infrastructure, deployment, automation, and operational solutions.
• Build reusable CI/CD pipelines, deployment templates, automation scripts, and platform components that can be applied consistently across applications and environments.
• Integrate applications and deployment workflows with AWS services, enterprise identity platforms, registries, data platforms, monitoring solutions, and approved internal or external APIs.
• Implement and support automated quality and security controls within CI/CD pipelines, including infrastructure validation, security scanning, dependency checks, and deployment verification.
• Create rapid prototypes and proofs of concept to validate infrastructure, deployment, automation, and platform approaches, then translate approved concepts into production-ready capabilities.
• Use Git-based source control, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containers, Kubernetes, automated releases, monitoring, rollback, and incident-management practices to support reliable software delivery.
• Write clean, reusable, well-documented, secure, and maintainable automation, infrastructure, configuration, and application-support code.
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback to improve automation quality, infrastructure reliability, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Monitor and troubleshoot production platforms and applications across Kubernetes, containers, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, networking, identity, data integrations, and application components; support defect resolution and root-cause analysis.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including architecture notes, infrastructure diagrams, deployment procedures, configuration standards, troubleshooting guides, and operational runbooks.
• Contribute reusable platform components, DevSecOps patterns, engineering standards, and continuous improvements that strengthen the broader Commercialization Technology ecosystem.
• Work closely with software engineers, architects, product owners, security teams, data engineers, QA engineers, infrastructure teams, and other technology partners.
• Follow Agile practices, contribute to sprint planning and effort estimation, and provide timely status updates on platform, DevOps, and infrastructure work.
• Continuously build knowledge of modern DevSecOps, cloud, container, Kubernetes, infrastructure automation, observability, AI platform, and software delivery technologies.
• Maintain accurate documentation of infrastructure configurations, platform standards, operational processes, and changes.
