DevOps Engineer

About the role

As a DevOps Engineer at IGT, you will take ownership of the platform and infrastructure strategy, focusing on creating efficient workflows and standardizing deployments. Your work will support developers by streamlining the software development lifecycle and ensuring smooth CI/CD processes.

You will be part of a global team dedicated to innovation in gaming and fintech solutions. Success in this role involves driving Infrastructure as Code practices, implementing security measures, and collaborating closely with engineering teams to define release strategies and system design.

Skills that matter here

• Terraform: You will use Terraform to drive Infrastructure as Code on AWS.
• AWS: Your role will involve managing cloud infrastructure on AWS.
• GitHub: You will own SDLC toolchains including GitHub for version control.
• CI/CD: You will design and support CI/CD pipelines to enhance development workflows.
• Python: Python may be used for scripting and automation tasks.
• Ansible: Ansible is among the tools you might utilize for automation.

Who this role suits

• A candidate who thrives on automation and enjoys designing self-sustaining systems.
• Someone with a strong sense of ownership and a shipping mindset, focused on outcomes.
• A team player who breaks silos and collaborates closely with developers.
• An individual who is passionate about infrastructure and elevating DevOps culture.

From the employer

What You’ll Do

• Standardize deployments to true one‑button workflows (repeatable across many environments).
• Support developers by designing smooth SDLC paths: environments, CI/CD pipelines, templates, local‑dev tooling, and clear processes that unblock delivery.
• Drive Infrastructure as Code (Terraform on AWS), with tested, reviewed, and versioned changes.
• Own SDLC toolchains: Github, CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), artifact registries (Harbor/Nexus), scanning tools (SonarQube/Trivy), deployment orchestrators (ArgoCD/Helm).
• Shape networking and service mesh patterns (VPCs, connectivity for air‑gapped systems, Istio).
• Bake in security from day one: secrets management, RBAC, hardening, compliance automation.
• Set up observability that matters (reliability, performance, business impact > vanity metrics).
• Partner with engineering to define release strategies (Helm, ArgoCD, canary/blue‑green).
• Lead through system design: define problems, make trade‑offs explicit, and document why.

Qualifications

• Nice to Have few of those (Practical Experience):
• Ansible, Python, Makefiles, Bash,
• Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentbit, Opensearch, ADOT
• GitHub Administration
• Jenkins, Github Actions
• Supporting JVM/TypeScript SDLC.
• PostgreSQL, Redis, Ignite
• API gateways
• NGINX, Haproxy
• RabbitMQ, SQS
• Sonarqube, Helm, Harbor, Nexus

Keys to Success

• Mindset (Non‑Negotiables)
• Automation‑first: You design systems that run themselves & you know the difference between "I wrote a script" and "well-designed automation."
• Git discipline: Treat any code like software: versioned, reviewed, tested
• Shipping mindset: You can be described as high agency: you own outcomes, not tasks nor revel in busy work. You will also challenge assumptions when they don't serve business outcomes.
• System design thinking: “Why” is as important as “What” & “How.” and you can articulate decisions on trade-offs: complexity vs. maintainability, immediate vs. future cost, simplicity vs. capability
• Love the craft: Current job might suck, but you still love building infrastructure, fast, stable, clean, and systems - and elevating DevOps culture.
• DevOps mindset: You break silos, collaborate deeply with developers, and treat platform engineering as a product that serves the whole engineering org.
