• Leading the development of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation

• Ensuring cloud infrastructure scalability, reliability, and security (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

• Providing technical guidance and mentorship on DevOps methodologies

• Developing and enforcing standards for code quality, testing, and deployment

• Monitoring system performance and troubleshooting deployment-related issues

• Staying current with industry trends in DevOps, CI/CD, and automation practices

• Excellent analytical skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Certification in DevOps or relevant architecture frameworks (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer) is a plus

• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack)

• Understanding of the railway domain, particularly in signalling, power supply, or system engineering, is a bonus
