DevOps Engineer

Location: Baku, Azerbaijan DevOps Engineer Location : Baku, Azerbaijan Type : Full-time Company : DRL LLC About eiGroup At eiGroup, we believe ideas can change industries - but only if they are nurtured with structure, science, and courage. We’re an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales. Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation. Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies. Together, we’re shaping how innovation takes root in this region - and how it reaches the world. What You'll Do Own CI/CD across Azure Pipelines and GitLab CI: YAML pipelines, multi-stage builds, environment promotion, approvals, artifact and container publishing, shared templates so each team isn't reinventing its own build Provision and run our Kubernetes clusters, including standing up new ones from scratch with Rancher: workloads, ingress, secrets, resource limits, autoscaling, rollout and rollback strategy, Helm charts, version upgrades and etcd backups Own our Azure estate — App Services, compute, networking, storage, Key Vault, managed identities — alongside self-hosted services running on our own infrastructure, including cost hygiene and right-sizing Introduce Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep) from a largely manual starting point: reusable modules, state management, real parity between environments Build and maintain monitoring and alerting: metrics collection, Grafana dashboards the teams actually use, centralised logging, and alerts that fire on real problems rather than noise Own production: releases, incident response, root cause, backup and restore drills, and an on-call rotation designed to stay quiet Manage secrets and access properly (Key Vault, managed identities, Entra ID, least-privilege RBAC) and put secret, dependency and image scanning into the pipelines Work with the Project Managers across our ventures: take in infrastructure requests, prioritise them honestly against each other, and propose the cheaper version when there is one Plan and report your work in Azure DevOps — break requests into tasks, create your own where the work originates with you, keep status current, and raise blockers early enough that PMs can plan around them What You Bring 3+ years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, with real production ownership Strong hands-on Linux — comfortable in the shell, able to debug a failing service without a UI Proven CI/CD experience with Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI or equivalent, including pipelines other teams depend on Kubernetes in production: deployments, services, ingress, config and secrets, RBAC, autoscaling — and the ability to diagnose why a pod won't start or a rollout is stuck. Helm for packaging. You have built a cluster from scratch, not only deployed into one Solid Docker fundamentals: multi-stage builds, image size, base image hygiene Microsoft Azure: compute, networking, storage, Key Vault, managed identities, Entra ID, Azure Monitor Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or Bicep — nice to have Scripting in Bash plus Python or PowerShell — enough to automate a task properly instead of documenting a manual one Networking fundamentals: DNS, TLS and certificates, reverse proxies, load balancing, VNets, subnets, NSGs, firewall rules Databases from the operations side: backups and tested restores, connection pooling, working with developers on a slow query Sound security instincts — you notice the exposed secret, the public endpoint, the permission nobody needed Able to serve multiple teams with competing requests, work independently, estimate credibly and flag risk early Good written and verbal communication in English Our benefits include: Medical insurance (family coverage) Flexible working hours Wellness program Childcare support Company-provided lunch
