Job Description

As an experienced DevOps Engineer, you will serve within a globally distributed team of four members. You will utilize strong communication skills to collaborate effectively within the team and with external stakeholders, including the Platform Delivery Team and Application Development Team. Fostering a collaborative and team-oriented mindset, you will participate in and initiate collective working sessions such as pair programming.

Your responsibilities will include contributing to the end-to-end application lifecycle management, covering configuration management, build, release, and deployment processes for ADMS applications. You will follow DevOps and Kanban methodologies, contributing to technical tasks from the backlog while aligning with established priorities. Additionally, you will participate in the implementation of cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

You will configure and deploy applications and services across both cloud and on-premises environments, utilizing Virtual Servers and PaaS solutions such as Docker and Kubernetes. When necessary, you will design, implement, and maintain automation scripts to reduce manual intervention and improve the efficiency of DevOps tasks. Ensuring high-quality configuration and automation scripts, you will write clean, efficient, and maintainable code that adheres to best practices, team coding standards, and guidelines.

Actively sharing technical knowledge and expertise with team members, you will contribute to documentation, guidelines, workshops, and mentoring to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement. As a member of the ADMS L3 Support Team, you will provide timely resolution to production issues and offer periodic or emergency support as needed. Demonstrating a passion for learning and innovation, you will stay updated on emerging technologies, trends, and best practices in software development and DevOps.

Trustable, you will ensure regular follow-up with the Team Manager, providing updates as needed or upon request. You will rapidly acquire a working knowledge of Eurofins EurIS systems, beginning with ADMS, including its underlying concepts, models, and the team’s processes and practices. You will continuously deepen this knowledge, focusing on the most critical needs of your assigned functions.

Additionally, you will leverage your interpersonal skills to develop appropriate working relationships with both IT and non-IT target groups within Eurofins to support cooperation and effective communication.

Qualifications

You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or you possess equivalent practical experience. With a minimum of three years of experience in roles such as DevOps Engineer, Software Engineer, or similar positions, you have developed a strong foundation in DevOps practices. Your proficiency includes working with version control systems like Git and collaboration tools such as Azure DevOps or JIRA.

You possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, enabling you to collaborate effectively in a team-oriented environment. You are fluent in English, with good verbal and written communication skills. Your problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and proactive approach to learning and self-improvement allow you to address complex situations effectively.

You have foundational knowledge of on-premises and cloud infrastructure administration, including platforms such as Azure, AWS, and GCP. Your expertise extends to deployment tools and pipelines, including tools like Azure DevOps and Octopus Deploy, as well as best practices in configuration management (CMDB). You can follow, create, and update Service Operational Procedures, covering procurement, installation, monitoring, and support processes.

Additionally, you are familiar with data management and database administration, including SQL and NoSQL systems such as Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. These skills and experiences enable you to contribute effectively to both technical and collaborative aspects of the role.

In addition to the required qualifications, you may bring preferred skills and experience that would further strengthen your profile. You might have prior experience in Enterprise DevOps environments and/or cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, particularly in migration projects. Your advanced knowledge of on-premises and cloud infrastructure administration, with a strong preference for Azure (though experience with AWS and GCP is also valued), would be highly beneficial.

You may also be familiar with modern virtualization approaches, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and containerization, using tools like Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. If you have advanced coding or software development/architecture skills, particularly in technologies such as .NET, this would further enhance your contributions. Additionally, conversational proficiency in one or more of the following languages—Mandarin, French, Vietnamese, Romanian, or Hindi—would enable you to enhance communication in a multilingual and multicultural environment.
