About the position

At Lenovo, we never stand still; every day, every employee is focused on moving forward, rejecting traditional limits, and always seeking a better way. The Cloud and Software team, part of the Advanced Innovation Center, is expanding its Cloud DevOps team and looking to hire a DevOps Engineer. Our Cloud platform DevOps engineers are responsible for customizing and maintaining cloud infrastructure that serves as the platform on which our internal applications and solutions are hosted. We operate on public cloud and are expanding to on-premise and hybrid cloud platforms. This role will be part of the Cloud Platform DevOps team that supports the entire Cloud and Software organization and is responsible for assisting several teams, including cloud and device platform, partners, and product teams. In this role, you'll be responsible for the continuous integration and deployment pipeline, cloud infrastructure for the platform and services, uptime SLAs, and automation of security tools. You'll be supported by respective engineering leads, project managers, and scrum masters. The position requires building, maintaining, and improving a cloud platform to enable solutions teams to quickly and seamlessly deploy software. You will establish, implement, and analyze infrastructure-wide SLOs, KPIs, and metrics, operate and maintain high availability of software for multiple cloud solutions, and troubleshoot complex incidents in production and pre-production environments. Automation of infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and delivery in the cloud is a key responsibility, along with implementing automated pipelines for Java and NodeJS applications across multiple environments such as AWS, Azure, OpenStack, OpenShift, and bare metal K8s. You will own troubleshooting cloud deployment and environment issues and assist the development team with monitoring and understanding critical components of the cloud platform. Identifying and implementing infrastructure resilience improvements, infusing site reliability and security into all areas of Lenovo's cloud infrastructure, and understanding modern software security and secure software systems with cloud-based infrastructure are essential tasks. Participation in cross-functional solution development and ownership of the solution, leading in the adoption of continuous delivery and automation of platform services, and implementing monitoring tools and dashboards for various services and operations are also part of the role. Working in an agile development environment and participating in agile events/ceremonies to iteratively produce increments of value is expected.
