Key Responsibilities

• Manage build, release, and environment management for distributed teams
• Maintain and support Windows & Linux development environments
• Automate build pipelines using Azure DevOps
• Troubleshoot build, compilation, linker, and runtime issues
• Maintain CI build agents and DevOps infrastructure
• Enhance in-house testing tools and build result databases
• Work closely with developers, testers, and IT teams
• Manage third-party dependencies and packaging
• Document DevOps processes and workflows

Required Skills & Experience

Core Technical Skills

• Python scripting (must-have)

• Compilers: GCC, Intel, Visual Studio
• Version control: Git
• Databases: MySQL / PostgreSQL
• Strong troubleshooting skills (build failures, environment issues)

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree (required)
• 1–3 years experience preferred (freshers with strong build/CI exposure may still qualify)

Who This Role Is Best Suited For

This role is ideal if you:

• Have strong Linux + scripting fundamentals
• Enjoy build engineering, CI/CD, and automation
• Have worked with compilers and large codebases
• Want DevOps work closer to engineering systems, not just cloud ops

If you are applying, focus on:

1. Writing Python scripts for automation
2. Understanding CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps
3. Practicing Linux build systems (Make/CMake)
4. Debugging C/C++ build & linker errors
5. Explaining how builds flow from code → artifact
6. Git workflows (branching, tagging, releases)

Career Value

• Strong exposure to enterprise-grade DevOps
