DevOps Consultant

Want to build the solid foundations that organizations need to achieve technical excellence?

As consultants, we work with our clients to ensure we’re evolving their technology and empowering adaptive mindsets to meet their business goals. At Moonswitch, you will create pragmatic solutions to solve mission-critical problems and challenge yourself every day.

DevOps Consultants take a multifaceted approach to helping clients achieve technical excellence by approaching challenges from both a technical and operational perspective. As consummate ‘bringers of knowledge,’ they take extra care to ensure their team and client understand operational requirements and take a shared responsibility for designing and implementing infrastructure that delivers and runs software services. They also help customers adopt DevOps approaches, breaking away from rigid, more traditional ways of working and pivoting to a more customer-focused and agile approach.

You’ll spend time on the following:

• You will launch projects through hands-on implementation, evaluate and drive improvements to existing infrastructure
• You will listen to a client’s needs and formulate a technical roadmap and impactful solution that will support their ambitious business goals
• Help shape and build Moonswitch’s cloud and infrastructure practice through collaboration with business development, marketing, and SRE teams
• Ensure and build the controls and processes for continuous delivery of applications, considering all stages of the process and its automations
• Monitor and ensure that technical expectations of deliverables are consistently met on projects
• Act as a thought leader—at client sites and at Moonswitch on DevOps, cloud, and infrastructure engineering
• Establish trusting and thoughtful partnerships with a client’s CIO, CTO, and relevant teams
• Adjust and suggest innovative solutions to current constraints and business policies
• Develop your career outside of the confinements of a traditional career path by focusing on what you’re passionate about rather than a predetermined one-size-fits-all plan
