Job Description
As a DevOps & Application Engineer at StarHub IS Divisions, you will own the build-and-release pipeline and contribute production-grade code that powers our customer-facing platforms. This hybrid role spans infrastructure automation, Kubernetes operations, Jenkins pipeline design, AWS provisioning, and hands-on software development. If switching fluently between Helm charts and Python modules excites you, we want you driving our next-generation deployment strategy.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and enforce DevOps policies and best practices, with a strong focus on trunk-based development (short-lived feature branches, continuous integration gates, automated code-quality checks).
- Design, develop, and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins using Pipeline-as-Code (shared libraries, scripted & declarative).
- Write and manage build scripts and infrastructure tooling (Shell, Python, Groovy) to automate the software-delivery lifecycle.
- Administer multi-cluster Kubernetes environments (EKS & OCP), including Helm chart development, RBAC, network policies, and autoscaling.
- Tune PostgreSQL for performance, high availability, and disaster recovery (logical replication, pgBackRest).
- Implement GitOps workflows (Argo CD or Flux) to promote reproducible, auditable deployments.
- Provision and manage AWS resources (EKS, RDS/PostgreSQL, EC2, S3, IAM).
- Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
- Contribute application code in Python, Go, or TypeScript, participating in design reviews and performance profiling.
- Establish observability with Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and incident-response workflows (PagerDuty/VictorOps).
- Author technical documentation and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams
Qualifications
- Tertiary Education in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
- 4+ years of combined experience in DevOps, SRE, or Software Engineering.
- Expertise with containerized environments, Kubernetes internals, and Helm.
- Hands-on production experience with Jenkins and CI/CD best practices.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript).
- Strong SQL skills and proven PostgreSQL administration experience.
- Solid understanding of AWS core services, IAM security, and cost-optimization practices.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Comfortable with Linux internals, networking fundamentals, and shell scripting.
- Agile mindset with experience working in Scrum teams.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Certifications
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional)
