Principal Software Engineer - DevOps

The Senior DevOps Engineer works
with the team to lift the visibility, reliability, and security of the
platforms that serve our clients and end -users globally. We are a focused team
so your judgment materially shapes how the platform runs.

The role owns:

•       Reliability and uptime of Esyasoft's production estate
on AWS and Kubernetes

•       CI/CD pipeline ownership — finalizing the move to full
automation via GitOps

•       Observability, security and compliance posture across
the platform

•       On -call coverage and incident response as part of a
paid weekly rotation

A. Cloud
Infrastructure and Platform Operations

•       Own day -to -day reliability of Esyasoft's production
estate on AWS and Kubernetes, including incident triage and remediation

•       Operate and harden the Linux server fleet (Rocky Linux,
Amazon Linux) and supporting database layers

•       Manage cloud cost and capacity in partnership with
engineering — right -size, decommission and forecast

B. CI/CD
and Infrastructure as Code

•       Finalise the transition to a fully automated CI/CD
pipeline (Jenkins to GitOps via FluxCD)

•       Maintain and extend Infrastructure as Code using
Terraform and Kustomize

•       Curate the developer experience so engineers can ship
safely, quickly, and with minimal friction

C.
Observability, Monitoring and Incident Response

•       Evolve the monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana) —
dashboards, alerts and SLOs that earn their keep

•       Lead incident response during your rotation; drive
blameless post -mortems and follow -through actions

•       Participate in the weekly paid on -call rotation to
maintain service levels for Esyasoft's users

D.
Security and Compliance

•       Maintain Esyasoft's posture against Cyber Essentials,
ISO 27001 and PCI -DSS

•       Embed secure -by -default patterns in CI/CD, IaC,
container images and Kubernetes manifests; partner on access reviews and
secrets management

E.
Engineering Practice and Team Contribution

•       Mentor peers and product engineers on infrastructure,
deployment and reliability practice

•       Contribute to architectural decisions across the wider
engineering team

F.
Tooling and Continuous Improvement

•       Evaluate emerging tools and patterns responsibly —
prove value, then adopt; keep what we have working hard before reaching for the
new

•       Curate documentation and runbooks so platform knowledge
is shared across the team, not siloed

Requirements

Required
Skills & Experience

•       Proven track record running production workloads on
AWS, with hands -on experience operating Kubernetes in production (not just
deploying to it)

•       Strong foundations in core systems — Linux, HTTP,
networking, Bash and a scripting language (Python preferred)

•       Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code
(Terraform preferred), GitOps tooling and CI/CD pipelines end -to -end

•       Comfort participating in an on -call rotation and
leading incident response, including blameless post -mortems

Desirable
Skills & Experience

•       Exposure to compliance frameworks — Cyber Essentials,
ISO 27001 or PCI -DSS — in a production context

•       Experience with additional cloud providers (Digital
Ocean, GCP) and database operations at scale (MySQL)

•       PHP exposure (Esyasoft's stack includes PHP services)

Key
Attributes

•       Pragmatic — picks the smallest change that solves the
real problem; values clarity over cleverness

•       Reliability -minded — instinctively asks 'what does this
look like when it breaks?' before shipping

•       Clear communicator — writes runbooks, explains
incidents and pushes back without drama

Esyasoft operates primarily within
the cloud -native ecosystem and includes the requirement to work as a competent
user of:

•       AWS, Kubernetes, Docker

•       Terraform, Kustomize, FluxCD, Jenkins, Prometheus,
Grafana, MySQL

•       Python, Bash, PHP — running on Rocky Linux / Amazon
Linux

This role may also require
flexibility to work with additional cloud providers (Digital Ocean, GCP) and
third -party tools as the platform evolves.
