Job Description
In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop and enhance complete and sizable software modules in the on-premises DevOps and platform engineering function, spanning infrastructure automation, full-stack application development, and bare-metal/hypervisor-based deployments. Each day, you will execute assigned design and development activities focused on building robust, scalable, and cost-effective on-prem solutions in accordance with enterprise quality and security standards. You will also showcase your expertise by providing accurate project schedule estimates and ensuring their successful completion within deadlines.
The work model for the role is: hybrid #LI-Hybrid
This role is contributing to the Industrial Automation – Digital / On-Premises Platform Engineering division in India. Main stakeholders are Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Product Engineering, Customer Delivery, and Infrastructure/IT Operations teams.
You will be mainly accountable for:
- Performing a variety of software engineering and DevOps tasks across on-premises infrastructure automation, full-stack application development (Python and Node.js), CI/CD pipeline engineering, Kubernetes/AKS platform operations, software release, support, and maintenance, with limited supervision.
- Contributing independently to the end-to-end software development lifecycle — requirements, conceptualization, prototyping, infrastructure-as-code design, coding, testing, release, and subsequent maintenance and operations — for both cloud-connected and air-gapped on-prem environments.
- Owning and driving highly structured, maintainable, and well-documented code, Terraform modules, Ansible playbooks, Helm charts, and pipeline definitions, with the right amount of operational runbooks and architecture documentation.
- Identifying and categorizing different user personas (platform operators, application developers, SREs, customer admins) for the on-prem platform and applications independently, with the aim of tailoring and defining the user experience, CLI/UI workflows, automation interfaces, and operational tooling to suit their respective roles.
Our team dynamics
You will join a dynamic, talented, and high-performing on-premises DevOps and platform engineering team, where you will be able to thrive while working on complex hybrid and bare-metal deployment challenges that directly impact enterprise customers.
Qualifications for the role
- You are highly skilled in and enjoy working with on-premises DevOps tooling and full-stack development across the industrial software and enterprise platform market, with strong hands-on capability in Python and Node.js for building automation utilities, internal tools, REST APIs, and operator-facing applications.
- You have 6+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE roles, with a proven track record working with Terraform, Ansible, Linux administration, bare-metal provisioning, physical server lifecycle management, and hypervisor-based virtualization (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM, or equivalent).
- Highly adept in Azure, Azure DevOps (Pipelines, Repos, Boards, Artifacts), Jenkins, Kubernetes/AKS/K8s, Helm, and container runtimes, with practical experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines for on-prem and hybrid delivery models including air-gapped environments.
- Possess enhanced knowledge of full-stack engineering — backend services in Python (FastAPI/Flask/Django) and Node.js (Express/NestJS), along with the ability to integrate these into DevOps tooling, infrastructure controllers, custom operators, and platform automation workflows.
- You are passionate about automation-first thinking, infrastructure-as-code discipline, observability, and operational excellence; you are innovative around solving on-prem-specific challenges such as offline package distribution, image signing, private registries (ACR/Harbor), and customer-site deployments.
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or a related engineering discipline, with demonstrated experience delivering production-grade on-prem or hybrid platforms. Relevant certifications (CKA, AZ-400, AZ-104, RHCE, RHCSA, or equivalent) are strongly preferred.
- You are at ease communicating in English (written and spoken) with globally distributed engineering and customer-facing teams.
What's in it for you
- Work on enterprise-scale on-premises and hybrid platforms that power mission-critical industrial customers worldwide.
- Deep technical ownership across the full DevOps stack — from bar
