We're looking for a skilled IIoT DevOps Engineer to enable robust, secure, and scalable deployments of IIoT platforms across multiple industrial sites.

🎯 Responsibilities

1. Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, packaging, and deploying IIoT platform assets
2. Define and manage branching strategies, versioning rules (platform vs. site), and artifact promotion flows
3. Implement and support deployment strategies, including blue/green, canary, or phased rollouts; ensure rollback and forward-fix readiness
4. Manage Git-based configuration, including versioning of Ignition projects, infrastructure as code, platform configuration, and site-specific overlays
5. Enhance developer experience through templates, repository standards, scaffolding, and improved documentation
6. Integrate security and quality controls into pipelines (e.g., code analysis, dependency scanning, secrets management, policy-as-code checks)
7. Ensure traceability from change request through to deployment; produce validation-ready evidence for audits
8. Operate release orchestration for Kubernetes-based services and workflow engines; coordinate releases for cloud and edge (AWS, plant connectivity)
9. Define and enforce environment standards (naming, access, duties separation); maintain operational documentation (runbooks, troubleshooting guides, release criteria)
10. Embed observability and monitoring in delivery lifecycle (metrics, deployment health checks, SLOs)
11. Collaborate with various teams (platform owners, quality/validation, cybersecurity, site teams) to align policies and enable effective governance
12. Support and onboard internal teams and partners in adopting the platform delivery model
13. Contribute to platform governance to ensure both scalability and controlled autonomy

🛠️ Requirements

1. 5+ years of experience in DevOps, CI/CD, or Platform Engineering
2. Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
3. Experience collaborating across architecture, security, validation, and engineering teams
4. Familiarity with Agile methodologies
5. Experience in regulated environments (e.g., Pharma, biological, medical devices, GxP) is an advantage
6. Experience designing deployment models for multi-site customizations is a plus
7. Proficiency with GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD tools
8. Strong Git fundamentals, including branching and versioning at scale
9. Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform
10. Experience with containers and Kubernetes (packaging, deployment, troubleshooting)
11. Experience with industrial systems (SCADA, MES, IIoT, edge-to-cloud) is a plus
12. Additional familiarity with any of the following is considered a plus: Ignition (Inductive Automation), AWS IoT services (IoT Core, SiteWise), artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), enterprise security/code scanning tools
13. Fluency in English (verbal and written)

🌟 Core Competencies

1. Systems thinking and the ability to design delivery flows across cloud and edge environments
2. Strong communication and clear documentation skills
3. Risk-based mindset, balancing speed, compliance, and safety
4. Operational discipline, treating CI/CD as a product for continuous improvement
5. Teamwork, effective collaboration, and conflict resolution
6. Open-mindedness, active listening, and process evaluation for continuous improvement

📌 Additional Information

1. Role involves collaboration in a global, agile environment with international stakeholders
2. English is the working language
3. Occasional business trips may be required
