Your new role and environment

As a Mid DevOps Engineer in the DDP Data Management Services team, you play a key role in building, automating, and maintaining modern cloud-based data platforms. You'll focus on infrastructure automation, observability and scalable database services across Oracle Cloud and Azure environments.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll develop and improve automation pipelines and collaborate closely with senior engineers and application teams. You'll bring curiosity, initiative, and a passion for continuous improvement in everything you do.

Key responsibilities of your role:

• Drive and contribute to the automation of cloud infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, self-service, Infrastructure-as-Code services, and DevOps deployment, while continuously improving infrastructure architecture, development, and deployment processes.
• Implement security baselines and standards for resources including network access, restriction of internet-facing resource provision and configuration within the Azure and Oracle Cloud environment
• Work with and support application teams in their digital transformation goals.
• Create observability strategies with a focus on self-healing mechanisms.
• Collaborate with data engineering, product, and design teams to ensure that releases, internal and external, can be done easily (and retracted easily if necessary).
• Communicate clearly and proactively with team members and stakeholders to ensure effective collaboration.
• Part of on-call rotation, ensuring the availability and stability outside regular working hours.

What's in it for you?

We ask a lot. (We're looking for the best, after all). But we offer a lot, too.

So, what do we have in store for you? We offer flexible hours and a hybrid working model, allowing you to work both from home and at the office. We provide competitive benefits to support health, well-being and your professional growth. This includes: a significant budget on benefit platform and a yearly bonus.

Hands-on experience:

• Writing and maintaining Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• Scripting for automation (Shell, Python, or PowerShell).
• Cloud environments (Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) – Azure certifications is a plus).
• CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools.
• Monitoring and observability platforms (using SaaS-based tools such as Prometheus and Oracle Enterprise Manager, alongside an in-house observability platform powered by Grafana's LGTM stack).
• Experience as an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA), managing and optimizing database performance and reliability.
• Proven ability to implement secure and highly available infrastructure services.
• Experience in advancing and continuously improving DevOps automation and practices to ensure applications remain easy to deploy, monitor, and scale.

• Proven experience in using Oracle Cloud security tools such as Oracle Cloud Guard, Oracle Data Safe and Azure security tools such as Azure Security Center, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Policies.
