DevOps Platform Engineer

We are building an AI-augmented engineering team for our e-commerce platform. You will own the CI/CD pipeline, deployment infrastructure, and the AI agent platform that the entire team depends on.

The platform already has GitHub Actions (two workflows: build and release), SonarCloud for static analysis, and Netlify for hosting. Your job is to extend this into a world-class quality pipeline: lint → test → SonarCloud → AI code review → E2E tests → preview deploy → production deploy. You will also build the infrastructure for 6 AI agents that run on every pull request, including a Code Review Agent powered by the Anthropic Claude API.

This is not a traditional DevOps role. You are building the intersection of CI/CD and AI. If you’ve wanted to work with LLM APIs in production infrastructure, this is that role.

What You Will Do

• Extend existing GitHub Actions workflows (build yml + release yml) with lint, test, AI review, and E2E stages
• Build and maintain infrastructure for 6 AI agents powered by the Anthropic Claude API (code review, bug detection, test generation, documentation, feature development)
• Implement a two-tier override mechanism: agent-skip (senior team) and full-bypass (Head of Engineering only) with audit trail
• Configure branch protection rules, environment promotion (staging → production), and deploy authorisation
• Implement automated rollback (currently takes 30–45 minutes manually - target: under 2 minutes)
• Set up dependency vulnerability scanning (Dependabot), pre-commit hooks (husky/lint-staged), and secrets rotation
• Manage Netlify deployment configuration, preview deploys, and production deploy triggers
• Own Anthropic API billing, usage monitoring, and cost optimisation across all agents
• Write operational runbooks for deployment, rollback, incident response, and agent troubleshooting
• Set up monitoring dashboards and alerting in Datadog

Minimum Qualifications

What you bring:

• 5+ years DevOps or platform engineering experience
• Strong GitHub Actions experience - you’ve authored complex workflows with matrix builds, reusable workflows, and custom actions
• Experience with Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare Pages (JAMstack deployment patterns)
• Comfortable scripting in TypeScript and Node.js
• Experience integrating third-party APIs into CI/CD pipelines (rate limiting, error handling, retry logic)
• Understanding of SonarCloud or equivalent static analysis tools
• Strong secrets management and environment configuration experience

Good To Have

• Experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) - understanding of token limits, cost management, prompt engineering
• Docker / containerisation experience
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi)
• Monitoring and alerting (Datadog, Grafana, PagerDuty)
