Roles

The DevOps Skills You Need, Ready to Start

Combine roles to match your stage: most teams start with one L3 engineer and add L2 coverage as releases and environments grow.

L2 DevOps Engineer

Keeps delivery and operations running day to day.

  • CI/CD pipeline maintenance and releases
  • Monitoring, alert triage and incident response
  • Patching, upgrades and backups
  • Runbook automation and access requests

L3 DevOps / SRE Engineer

Owns the hard problems and the platform itself.

  • Kubernetes and container platforms
  • Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
  • Root-cause analysis and performance tuning
  • Reliability, scaling and cloud cost optimisation

DevSecOps Engineer

Builds security into every stage of delivery.

  • SAST, dependency and container scanning
  • Secrets management and IAM hardening
  • CIS benchmarks and audit evidence
  • Data-protection and compliance controls

DevOps Architect (fractional)

Senior direction without a full-time architect salary.

  • Target architecture and roadmap
  • Cloud migration and modernisation plans
  • Reviews of the team's designs and code
  • Technical due diligence support
