About Us
Mountville Inc. is a forward-thinking company committed to leveraging modern technology to drive innovation and efficiency. We are seeking a talented DevOps Engineer II to join our small, high-impact platform team. This role is central to how we build, ship, and operate the infrastructure behind our software.
Job Description
As a DevOps Engineer II, you will own and evolve the infrastructure that supports our software development lifecycle. Your focus will be on building and maintaining CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) pipelines, managing Azure cloud services, and keeping our containerized applications reliable, secure, and scalable. Youll work closely with a tight-knit team and have real ownership over the platforms you run.
Key Responsibilities
- CI/CD Pipeline Development: Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps to automate build, test, and deployment.
- Version Control: Manage source code repositories in Git and GitHub, championing sound branching strategies and code-review practices.
- Cloud Infrastructure Management: Configure, deploy, and manage Azure cloud resources with an emphasis on availability, security, and scalability.
- Kubernetes Operations: Deploy, operate, scale, and troubleshoot containerized applications on Kubernetes - including day-to-day operational support and incident recovery.
- Infrastructure as Code: Define and manage infrastructure declaratively using Terraform, and apply GitOps practices to keep deployed state in sync with version control.
- Monitoring and Logging: Build and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting so we catch issues before our users do.
- Security: Apply security best practices across the platform, including secrets management, access control, vulnerability assessment, and patching.
- Automation: Spot manual toil in the development lifecycle and replace it with scripts and tooling that make the team faster.
- Collaboration: Partner with development teams to understand their needs and give them the tools and support for a smooth path to production.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).
Experience:
- Proven experience in a DevOps role with a strong grasp of CI/CD practices.
- Hands-on experience with Git and GitHub - repository management, branching strategies, and code reviews.
- Strong, practical experience with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps for pipeline creation and management.
- Solid experience managing cloud services and infrastructure on Azure.
- Genuine hands-on Kubernetes experience - deploying, operating, scaling, and troubleshooting real workloads (not just spinning up a cluster).
- Experience defining infrastructure with Terraform.
- Strong Linux administration skills, including shell scripting and system configuration.
Skills:
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach with cross-functional teams.
- Ability to juggle multiple projects and prioritize effectively in a small-team environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with GitOps workflows for Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling such as Datadog and Application Insights.
- Knowledge of microservices architecture and containerization best practices.
- Comfort working alongside modern AI-assisted development tooling.
- Experience with other cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) is a plus.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
- A collaborative and inclusive work environment.
- The chance to work with modern technology and own meaningful infrastructure.
