Senior DevOps Engineer R&D

Location: Casablanca (onsite work mode) 

Job description: 

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with an experience on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to join our growing team. In this role, you will be responsible for not only developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure management but also ensuring the reliability, scalability, and availability of our services. You will work closely with cross-functional teams (data scientists, software engineers, DevOps engineers) to ensure the infrastructure and applications can handle high traffic volumes with minimal downtime, while also mentoring junior engineers in the best practices for DevOps. 

Responsibilities

 

What you’ll do

Build, manage, and optimize continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to automate code testing, integration, and deployment processes.  Deploy and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform. Ensure environments are reproducible, scalable, and cost-effective.  Work proactively on capacity planning, identifying performance bottlenecks, and scaling systems based on traffic patterns and load expectations.  Manage infrastructure and applications deployed on cloud platforms like OCI, AWS, Azure, or GCP. Implement containerization using Docker and manage container orchestration with Kubernetes or similar tools.  Lead initiatives to optimize application performance, including database tuning, caching strategies, and application monitoring.  Work with engineering, security, and product teams to ensure high-quality service delivery, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliable deployments.  Implement and promote SRE best practices to ensure high availability, uptime, and reliability of systems and services across development, staging, and production environments.  Design and manage monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems to detect performance issues, security vulnerabilities, and failures in real-time. Use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog.  Define, measure, and track SLOs and SLIs for services, ensuring adherence to error budgets, and collaborating with development teams to prioritize reliability work.  Develop and implement automated recovery and self-healing mechanisms to reduce human intervention during incidents, such as auto-scaling and auto-remediation processes.  Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers, helping them understand DevOps best practices and supporting their technical growth.
