About the Role

You will be the DevOps owner for a distributed, multi-vendor delivery team — ensuring reliable, secure, and repeatable deployments across environments while collaborating closely with backend engineering, QA automation, and the client's internal IT team.
Main Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for a .NET-based microservices backend and Shopify Hydrogen storefront, enabling frequent, low-risk releases across development, staging, and production environments.

- Implement and maintain security controls including WAF/ALB configuration, secrets management, and key management.

- Support configuration and operational maintenance of OAuth2/OIDC identity providers used for service-to-service and customer-facing authentication.

- Stand up and maintain logging, monitoring, and alerting across microservices and message-driven workflows.

- Configure and support asynchronous messaging infrastructure (queues, topics, dead-letter handling) for order, inventory, and catalog processing between services.

- Manage environment configuration, versioning, and release coordination across multiple concurrent workstreams.

- Participate in troubleshooting production issues, define rollback and contingency procedures, and drive post-incident reviews.

- Produce clear infrastructure and operational documentation, including runbooks.

- Coordinate with backend engineering, QA automation, and the client's internal IT team on environment needs, deployment schedules, and infrastructure changes.

Requirements:

- Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for containerized or microservices-based applications.

- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent).

- Experience supporting .NET/C# application deployments and troubleshooting service-to-service communication issues.

- Solid understanding of OAuth2/OIDC identity and access management concepts.

- Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tooling in a distributed systems environment.

- Ability to work independently in a multi-vendor, distributed delivery environment across time zones.

Nice to Have:

- Familiarity with MongoDB or other NoSQL data stores in production environments.

- Experience with Keycloak or similar identity providers.

- Exposure to CQRS/event-driven architecture patterns.
