Seeking a remote DevOps / Cloud / DevSecOps Engineer role to own CI/CD, Kubernetes platform engineering, and secure delivery for cloud-native systems. 3+ years with GitLab CI/CD, Helm, OpenShift/AWS EKS, Terraform, and DevSecOps scanning. Open to mid-senior IC roles.

I build secure CI/CD and Kubernetes delivery platforms for enterprise banking microservices.
What I'm looking for
At Barclays, I run CI/CD and deployment operations for an enterprise liquidity platform with 50+ independently deployable microservices across six business domains on Red Hat OpenShift.
I've enhanced a 20+ stage GitLab CI/CD workflow spanning artifact retrieval, security scanning, Docker builds, database migrations, Helm deployments, and controlled production image promotion. I migrated raw OpenShift manifests to parameterized Helm deployments and standardized manifests, probes, and resource limits across 30+ containerized workloads.
I embed shift-left DevSecOps with SonarQube, Veracode SAST, Trivy, HashiCorp Vault, and Nexus promotion gates. I've also supported Java runtime modernization from JDK 8 to 17, JBoss to Tomcat 10 migration, observability improvements, Hasura metadata migrations, IBM MQ messaging, and PostgreSQL and Kafka credential injection.
Beyond enterprise delivery, I built AWS EKS and Argo CD GitOps architecture for a migration assurance platform and containerized a 16-service microservices application with monorepo CI/CD pipelines. Earlier at CloudNXT, I monitored 100+ Azure VMs and supported disaster recovery, backups, provisioning, configuration, and patching.
