Role description

Role Proficiency:



Understands customer requirements streamline DevOps practices and translate them into reference architecture for DevOps (CI/CD) and automation components by managing multiple scrum teams.



Outcomes:



Interprets the DevOps Tool/feature/component design to develop/support the same in accordance with specifications

Adapts existing DevOps solutions and creates own DevOps solutions for new contexts

Codes debugs tests documents and communicates DevOps development stages/status of DevOps support issues

Selects appropriate technical options for development such as reusing improving or reconfiguration of existing components

Optimises efficiency cost and quality of DevOps process tools and technology development

Validates results with user representatives; integrates and commissions the overall solution

Assesses current state of DevOps maturity and advises clients on improving maturity and DevOps roadmap

Assess readiness of clients to adopt DevOps practices advising clients on appropriate change approaches and technology choices

Looks for patterns of struggle and experiments with new designs and new ways of applying existing designs to solve problems

Guides DevOps leads and engineers and observe how the processes are working in practice

Works towards reducing variations in practice by challenging status quo and tweaking processes and tools

Resolve architecture issues and deliver / own architecture of application solutions spanning across multiple technologies for projects of the following nature - high revenue projects / complex projects / large strategic maintenance projects

Manage multiple stakeholders and handle their expectations

Contribute to business development and organizational activities

Support Architect/Sr. Architect in drafting recommendations based on findings of Proof of Concept


Measures of Outcomes:



Quality of Deliverables
