Role Summary

The DevOps Architect is responsible for defining and driving the end-to-end DevOps strategy, tooling, and practices for mission-critical, on-premises and hybrid applications. This role designs and oversees CI / CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, environment strategy, and observability to ensure that applications are built, tested, released, and operated in a reliable, secure, and repeatable manner across multiple data centres and DR sites. The DevOps Architect works closely with application, infrastructure, security, and operations teams to enable seamless modernization of legacy systems into containerized and microservices-based architectures, while maintaining strict uptime, performance, and compliance requirements.

1. MUST HAVE

1.1 Core Responsibilities

• Define the overall DevOps architecture, standards, and practices for building, testing, releasing, and operating applications across multiple on-premises environments.
• Design and implement CI / CD pipelines (for example, using Azure DevOps or Jenkins) for Java, .NET, front-end, GIS, database systems and integration services, ensuring automated build, test, security scanning, and deployment.
• Lead the DevOps enablement for modernization of legacy applications into microservices and containerized workloads, ensuring coexistence with existing monolithic and legacy stacks during the transition.
• Design deployment strategies (for example, blue‑green, canary, rolling updates) suitable for mission‑critical, 24‑7 systems running in multi‑datacenter and DR setups with strict SLAs.
• Define and implement infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) standards (for example, Terraform, Ansible) for provisioning and managing infrastructure, middleware, Kubernetes / OpenShift clusters, and shared services in a consistent, repeatable way.
• Collaborate closely with Application, Integration, Database, Infrastructure, Security, and Network teams to ensure that pipelines, deployment patterns, and operational processes align with existing on‑prem standards, DR strategies, and compliance requirements.
• Establish and enforce configuration management practices (for example, environment‑specific configurations, secrets management, feature flags) across all environments.
• Define and implement logging, monitoring, and alerting standards (for example, ELK / EFK, Prometheus, Grafana, APM tools) to ensure observability of applications, services, and infrastructure.
• Drive adoption of DevSecOps practices by integrating security checks (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container scanning) into CI / CD pipelines and release processes.
