Job description

Ampcus Inc. is a certified global provider of a broad range of Technology and Business consulting services. We are in search of a highly motivated candidate to join our talented Team. Job Title: DevOps Senior Engineer Location(s): Miami, FL Job Summary We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer with strong Harness.io, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and platform automation experience to lead application migrations from Jenkins and GitHub Actions into standardized Harness CI/CD structures. This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on establishing reusable Harness patterns, solving complex migration challenges, optimizing CI/CD performance, and providing technical direction to engineers executing application migrations. The environment includes Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications deployed across AWS and on-premises datacenter infrastructure, with Kubernetes, Helm, OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps supporting the delivery ecosystem. Responsibilities • Lead the technical migration of Jenkins and GitHub Actions workflows into Harness. • Assess existing pipelines, shared libraries, actions, integrations, credentials, runners, and deployment processes. • Design and implement reusable Harness steps, step groups, stages, pipelines, and templates. • Establish standards for Harness pipeline architecture, template reuse, inputs, variables, secrets, approvals, and deployment patterns. • Develop migration patterns that simplify and standardize existing CI/CD implementations rather than simply reproducing legacy pipelines. • Design CI/CD patterns supporting Java, Go, Node.js, and Python applications. • Establish and support GitOps-based application and infrastructure delivery. • Design and maintain reusable Helm charts and Kubernetes deployment patterns. • Develop and integrate Infrastructure as Code using OpenTofu/Terraform. • Develop and integrate configuration automation using Ansible. • Support delivery across AWS, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and traditional on-premises datacenter environments. • Troubleshoot complex pipeline, build, infrastructure, networking, and deployment issues. • Optimize pipeline performance, reliability, caching, parallelization, resource utilization, and failure diagnostics. • Design self-service and reusable delivery capabilities that reduce application-team onboarding effort. • Establish appropriate CI/CD governance, security, approval, and policy controls. • Conduct pipeline, template, IaC, and automation reviews. • Mentor DevOps engineers and provide technical direction for migration activities. • Partner with application, infrastructure, cloud, architecture, and security teams to resolve migration dependencies and technical blockers. Required Qualifications • 6+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, CI/CD, platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), build/release engineering, or infrastructure automation. • Strong hands-on experience designing and operating enterprise CI/CD platforms. • Practical Harness.io CI/CD experience, including pipeline and template development. • Strong experience with Jenkins pipelines and migration or modernization activities. • Experience with GitHub Actions and Git-native CI/CD workflows. • Strong understanding of Git, branching and release strategies, and GitOps principles. • Advanced YAML and configuration-as-code skills. • Strong experience with Terraform and/or OpenTofu, including reusable module development. • Strong experience with Ansible, including roles and playbooks. • Hands-on Kubernetes and Helm experience, including designing and maintaining reusable Helm charts. • Strong working knowledge of AWS infrastructure and application delivery. • Experience supporting hybrid cloud and on-premises datacenter environments. • Strong Linux, scripting, and command-line troubleshooting skills. • Automation experience using Python, Bash, Go, or similar languages. • Working knowledge of build, packaging, and dependency-management patterns for Java, Go, Node.js, and Python. • Experience with containers, artifact repositories, and container registries. • Ability to independently diagnose complex CI/CD and infrastructure problems. • Ability to quickly assess existing delivery implementations and make sound architectural decisions with minimal ramp-up. Preferred Qualifications • Deep experience with Harness.io CI and CD. • Experience designing Harness pipelines and template architectures at organizational scale. • Experience with Harness Git Experience and configuration-as-code practices. • Experience with Harness Delegate architecture and troubleshooting. • Experience performing Jenkins-to-Harness migrations. • Experience migrating GitHub Actions workflows into Harness. • Experience building standardized or golden-path CI/CD capabilities. • Experience with GitOps architecture and implementation. • AWS and Kubernetes platform engineering experience. • CI/CD performance optimization and delivery telemetry experience. • Experience with REST APIs and integration automation. • Knowledge of secrets management and software supply-chain security. Governance and Performance Knowledge • Experience with the following is strongly desirable: • DORA metrics, including Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Restore/Recovery. • OPA (Open Policy Agent) and Policy as Code. • Harness or enterprise CI/CD governance and automated guardrails. • Software supply-chain security, artifact provenance, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) concepts. • Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), container scanning, and automated security controls. • Progressive delivery, canary deployments, and blue/green deployment strategies. • Pipeline performance and reliability metrics. • Platform engineering and Internal Developer Platform practices. Key Competencies • Ability to become productive immediately in complex CI/CD and infrastructure environments. • Strong automation, architecture, and troubleshooting skills. • Ability to independently drive migrations from discovery through production cutover. • Ability to identify recurring patterns and convert them into reusable platform capabilities. • Strong technical leadership and mentoring skills. • Pragmatic approach to standardizing legacy and cloud-native environments. • Developer-focused approach to platform engineering and automation. • Strong cross-functional communication and technical documentation skills. • Ability to make technical decisions and resolve blockers with limited oversight.
