Your tasks

Your Role as a Protagonist of Transformation Design, implement, and optimize infrastructure and DevOps solutions, and assume integral management of the software delivery process (Release Management), ensuring that each version is planned, tested, and deployed in a stable, secure, and automated manner. This professional acts as a technical reference for the team, uniting the process vision and coordination of a Release Manager with the technical capability of a DevOps to automate, measure, and continuously improve the delivery cycle.

Implementation and management of CI/CD pipelines Design, build, and maintain continuous integration and delivery pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or Azure DevOps. Ensure the automation of testing, packaging, and deployment in development, QA, and production environments, with full process traceability and reducing the time between development and delivery.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation Implement and manage infrastructure through declarative tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation, ensuring reproducibility, versioning, and governance of environments. Automate repetitive processes of the release cycle through scripting (Bash, Python).

Containers and cloud Implement and administer solutions based on Docker and Kubernetes, and execute deployments on cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and on-premise infrastructure, considering high availability and disaster recovery.

Security and DevSecOps integration Incorporate security controls into the software lifecycle: vulnerability analysis, static code scanning (SAST), secrets management (Vault or AWS Secrets Manager), and compliance with policies aligned with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.

Monitoring and observability Implement monitoring and observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK Stack, or equivalents) to have real-time visibility of applications and infrastructure, establishing alerts, dashboards, and incident response processes.

Planning and delivery schedule Define the schedule and scope of software deliveries, integrating the demands of development, QA, operations, and other teams. Work with stakeholders to prioritize features and updates, and coordinate teams to meet deadlines, managing multiple releases simultaneously.

Quality and compliance with established definitions Ensure that quality and compliance definitions established for each delivery are met (acceptance criteria, definition of done, quality controls, and organizational policies). Verify that all stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC) are followed, including testing and documentation, that software and infrastructure dependencies are ready, and that the new version is stable, functional, and meets requirements before being delivered.

Deployments and rollbacks Plan and supervise deployments in testing and production environments, and manage rollbacks in case of failures, minimizing the impact on operations.

Communication and reporting Facilitate communication between developers, testers, business analysts, and operations. Communicate the status of releases to stakeholders and produce reports on delivery performance (frequency, times, incidents, rollbacks), highlighting areas for improvement.

Collaboration between development and operations Facilitate alignment between development, QA, and operations teams, promoting DevOps culture, internal service level agreements, and controlled change management processes.

Technical mentoring Support the development of junior and semi-senior analysts through code reviews, technical documentation, knowledge transfer sessions, and the definition of work standards within the team.
