Senior DevOps Engineer - IT Graduate Programme

JOB PURPOSE The Senior Engineer is a core member of the DevOps platform or enablement team who builds, maintains and rolls out CI/CD pipelines as service to the autonomous team to enable them deliver software better and quicker for the Emirates group. The role involves the design, development, implementation and maintenance of continuous deployment solutions and products, and coaching the software engineers on DevOps, automation and cloud adoption. JOB ACCOUNTABILITIES Create and maintain fully automated CI/CD pipelines for code deployment, including integration of test automation, code quality, telemetry, and orchestration to support automated build and release of software. Configure and tailor build pipelines to support continuous integration and delivery for products and technologies, optimizing performance, scalability, and supportability while working within enablement teams of Agile release trains. Actively guide teams on container deployment and orchestration, and manage, improve, and monitor cloud infrastructure, including shared cloud services and landing zones. Build and deploy Docker containers to break down monolithic applications into microservices, improving developer workflows, scalability, and speed. Design effective monitoring, alerting, and log aggregation solutions to proactively identify and respond to issues, improving system reliability; apply container orchestration technologies and containerization principles while working under guidance on cloud infrastructure migration, virtualization, performance analysis, log storage systems, and new functionality enablement in a multi‑cloud environment. Work on problems of diverse scope, requiring analysis and evaluation of identifiable factors. Demonstrate sound judgment in selecting appropriate methods and techniques to obtain effective solutions. Collaborate with senior technical engineers throughout the technical design process by contributing to the analysis of application requirements. Troubleshoot issues, fix defects of moderate to high complexity, and carry out testing independently. Shadow Senior Technical Engineer / Principal Engineer to support component design and architecture, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to identify inefficiencies and propose improvements.
