Role Mission

The DevOps & Application Engineer will design, automate, and optimize the build-and-release ecosystem while ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of StarHub’s cloud-native platforms. They will manage Kubernetes operations, infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps workflows, while contributing production-grade application code across multiple languages. This role accelerates engineering velocity by driving DevOps best practices, strengthening observability, and enabling consistent, high-quality deployments across the IS Division.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and enforce DevOps policies and best practices, with a strong focus on trunk-based development (short-lived feature branches, continuous integration gates, automated code-quality checks).
  • Design, develop, and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins using Pipeline-as-Code (shared libraries, scripted & declarative).
  • Write and manage build scripts and infrastructure tooling (Shell, Python, Groovy) to automate the software-delivery lifecycle.
  • Administer multi-cluster Kubernetes environments (EKS & OCP), including Helm chart development, RBAC, network policies, and autoscaling.
  • Implement GitOps workflows (Argo CD or Flux) to promote reproducible, auditable deployments.
  • Provision and manage AWS resources (EKS, RDS/PostgreSQL, EC2, S3, IAM).
  • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
  • Contribute application code in Python, Go, or TypeScript, participating in design reviews and performance profiling.
  • Establish observability with Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and incident-response workflows (PagerDuty).
  • Author technical documentation and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams.
  • Maintain Internal Developer Portal - Backstage

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (Master’s a plus).
  • 4+ years of combined experience in DevOps, SRE, or Software Engineering.
  • Expertise with containerized environments, Kubernetes internals, and Helm.
  • Hands-on production experience with Jenkins and CI/CD best practices.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript).
  • Strong SQL skills and proven PostgreSQL administration experience.
  • Solid understanding of AWS core services, IAM security, and cost-optimization practices.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Comfortable with Linux internals, networking fundamentals, and shell scripting.
  • Agile mindset with experience working in Scrum teams.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Certifications

  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional)
