Job Description: 

The Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) is now Altera, an Intel Company. Altera prioritizes customers with end-to-end FPGAs, accessible AI, software, and supply resilience. In Q4 2023, Intel announced PSG will be reported as a separate business unit beginning on January 1, 2024, with ongoing support from Intel. This position is associated to that standalone business strategy and is expected to fully transition to a standalone company at some time in the future. You will be part of Altera Software and Solutions (SaS) DevOps Team also known as SPES. SPES is looking for a highly skilled and experienced DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. In this role, you will be shaping and tuning the Altera's next generation software development lifecycle automation and its infrastructure, because a nimble and agile software development lifecycle results in a competitive advantage for the organization and the customer it serves. The ideal candidate will have a minimum 8 years of experience in the field of DevOps, with a strong background in cloud infrastructure management and automation. Key responsibility of this DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure specialist is to lead and drive our transition from legacy DevOps environment into cloud based next generation platform and framework. This candidate must be comfortable to be the change-agent and a technology evangelist to influence, guide, mentor and hand-hold software development teams in their migration journey. In summary, the DevOps Engineer will play a crucial role in optimizing our next-generation development and deployment processes, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security across the infrastructure. This is a role for someone who aspires to grow into Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) role within the next 4-5 years. A SRE is an advanced DevOps role that combines software engineering and systems administration to ensure the scalability, performance, and reliability of large-scale, cloud-based applications and infrastructure. Traditional operations roles focus on maintaining systems and reacting to issues, often with a fire-fighting mentality. However, as applications and infrastructure became complex and cloud-based - a more proactive and software-centric approach was needed to ensure reliability at scale. By combining software engineering and systems administration, SREs brings a different mindset to operations. They approached operations challenges with a software engineering perspective, leveraging: � Coding � Automation � Engineering Principles
