You will contribute to modernizing IT delivery through more effective, automated, and collaborative approaches supporting technical teams and business-critical services.

With a cross-functional scope across development, operations, and cloud, this role suits a technically strong, pragmatic profile able to improve the delivery lifecycle. Over time, it may evolve into broader technical coordination responsibilities.

What you will make happen:

• Support the evolution of the DevOps framework through CI/CD pipelines and release management for complex, multi-team environments.
• Improve operational automation to increase speed, quality, repeatability, and accelerate software delivery.
• Standardize the DevOps toolchain to improve consistency, deployment quality, and reduce manual work.
• Support release modernization, faster time to market, post-deployment monitoring, rollback procedures, incident prevention, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with application, infrastructure, cloud, and security teams to improve integration, delivery, and service readiness.
• Promote best practices in deployment automation, release engineering, scripting, observability, and operational readiness.
• Improve workflows and tools to simplify technical teams’ work and increase delivery pipeline efficiency.

What makes you unique

• At least 5 years’ experience in DevOps, automation, or release engineering in complex multinational environments.

• Proven experience designing and improving CI/CD pipelines and release processes, with a focus on automation and efficiency.

• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Terraform or Azure DevOps, version control systems such as Git, and scripting languages such as Python or Bash; certifications are a plus.

• Fluent English and an inclusive, international mindset; additional languages are a plus.

• Strong analytical, diagnostic, planning, and problem-solving skills.

• A proactive, digitally skilled mindset focused on innovation, improvement opportunities, and performance bottlenecks.

• Familiarity with service management tools such as ServiceNow or Remedy, ITIL processes, and monitoring tools.

• A collaborative team player who inspires others to perform at their best.
