The Role.

As a DevOps Engineer at Zühlke, you will join a cross-functional delivery team working on a greenfield initiative for a Hong Kong–based client, building a next-generation cloud platform powered by automation, GitOps, and cloud-native engineering practices.

You will play a key role in designing and implementing a GitOps-driven operating model and an “Everything as Code” approach to enable scalable Environment-on-Demand capabilities across AWS. Working at the intersection of platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and software delivery, you will help development teams accelerate delivery through self-service tooling, automated provisioning, and advanced CI/CD/CT pipelines.

This role is highly hands-on and engineering-focused. You will design and implement reusable platform capabilities, improve developer experience, and contribute to scalable, secure, and observable cloud infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with DevOps, Security, QA, Data, and Software Engineering teams to build resilient systems and continuously improve engineering practices across the delivery lifecycle.

You will also contribute to platform reliability, observability, quality engineering, and operational excellence by integrating monitoring, testing, security, and compliance automation into modern cloud-native delivery workflows.
