• Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions for geospatial platforms, map data pipelines, and enterprise environments.

• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines to automate build, testing, deployment, and release processes.

• Implement repeatable and reliable deployment processes across development, testing, and production environments.

• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployments using Terraform and Ansible.

• Configure and maintain Splunk monitoring and logging for geospatial services and enterprise applications.

• Develop observability dashboards to monitor service health, latency, throughput, availability, and error patterns.

• Analyze application and infrastructure incidents, identify root causes, and implement permanent remediation.

• Automate operational runbooks and repetitive support activities to reduce manual effort and operational toil.

• Participate in incident response and troubleshooting activities while ensuring services are restored within established SLA/SLO targets.

• Conduct capacity planning, performance analysis, and tuning for geospatial workloads.

• Optimize compute, storage, networking, and data-query performance for map-based applications.

• Collaborate with product managers, data engineers, developers, operations teams, and business stakeholders to translate geospatial requirements into scalable technical solutions.

• Implement security controls, configuration baselines, access controls, and audit-ready logging within DevOps workflows.

• Create and maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures, monitoring standards, and operational runbooks.

• Mentor junior engineers and analysts on DevOps, automation, CI/CD, monitoring, and SRE best practices.

• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, scalability, deployment efficiency, and overall platform performance.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of overall IT experience with strong experience in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure automation, or enterprise platform engineering.

• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.

• Strong experience developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Hands-on experience with Jenkins for build and deployment automation.

• Strong experience with GitHub/Git-based source control and collaboration workflows.

• Strong experience with Ansible for configuration management and automation.

• Experience with Splunk for logging, monitoring, troubleshooting, and dashboard development.

• Experience supporting enterprise applications, platforms, or data services.

• Understanding of SRE principles, incident management, observability, service reliability, and SLOs/SLAs.

• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

• Experience working in cross-functional and Agile/DevOps environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with geospatial platforms, GIS applications, map services, or spatial data pipelines.

• Experience with enterprise GIS technologies such as Esri/ArcGIS is highly desirable.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.

• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

• Experience implementing security and compliance requirements within CI/CD and IaC workflows.

• Experience with performance engineering, capacity planning, and production reliability.

• Experience mentoring junior engineers and driving DevOps/SRE best practices.
