**Job Title:** Senior DevOps Engineer
**Location:** Batumi
**Company:** MIGx
**Job Description:**
MIGx is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to design and implement robust engineering processes and platforms. This position requires a comprehensive understanding that DevOps extends beyond tooling to encompass effective collaboration among teams. The ideal candidate will be a critical link between development, infrastructure, and security, architecting scalable, secure, and repeatable solutions that enable rapid software delivery while maintaining high standards.
The role operates at a system-wide level, establishing best practices, shaping the software development lifecycle (SDLC), integrating security into pipelines, and developing platforms that empower teams to work efficiently and safely. While hands-on technical involvement is required, the primary contribution of this role lies in architectural leadership, strategic decision-making, and process optimization.
**Responsibilities:**
* **Process & Platform Design:**
* Design and evolve end-to-end SDLC with built-in security, compliance, and operational controls.
* Define where governance is mandatory and where it can be safely automated or delegated.
* Establish clear responsibility boundaries (RACI) between Dev, Ops, Security teams.
* Translate business and risk requirements into technical guardrails, not manual gates.
* **Collaboration & Mentorship:**
* Act as a technical partner to development teams.
* Coach engineers on reliability, deployment safety, and operational ownership.
* Facilitate cross-team discussions, turning conflicts into process improvements.
* Document architectural decisions, trade-offs, and constraints in clear language.
* **CI/CD & Automation:**
* Architect and maintain CI/CD platforms that enable fast, reliable, and low-risk deployments.
* Standardize pipelines and environments while allowing controlled flexibility for teams.
* Reduce manual work and operational toil through automation.
* **Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture:**
* Own Infrastructure as Code as a single source of truth (Terraform).
* Design cloud architectures in Azure and AWS with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost awareness.
* Ensure environment parity across dev, staging, and production.
* Support containerized and Kubernetes-based platforms.
* **Reliability & Observability:**
* Define and implement SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets as a shared language between teams.
* Build observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) as a trust mechanism.
* Lead incident response practices, including postmortems and systemic improvements.
**Requirements – Must have:**
* 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.
* Proven experience designing processes.
* Strong hands-on experience with Azure, including Azure DevOps.
* Deep understanding of CI/CD architecture.
* Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
* Experience with containers and Kubernetes in production environments.
* Proficiency in automation/scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
* Experience with monitoring, logging, and incident management practices.
* Ability to explain complex technical and security topics in simple, non-confrontational language.
**Requirements – Nice to have:**
* Experience working in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (Life Sciences, Finance, etc.).
* Experience introducing or evolving DevOps/SRE practices in organizations with existing silos.
* Cloud or DevOps certifications.
* Experience with microservices architectures and API-based systems.
* Understanding of database systems (SQL and NoSQL).
* Previous mentoring or informal technical leadership experience.
