Role details
What does a dedicated DevOps Engineer do?
A DevOps engineer at Codalyst Tech designs and operates the infrastructure and deployment pipelines that engineering teams rely on every day. Their work spans CI/CD automation, container orchestration with Kubernetes, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and the observability systems that surface problems before users notice them. They think in terms of reliability, repeatability, and blast radius — making sure every deployment is safe, every environment is reproducible, and every incident has a documented rollback path.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions: test gates, Docker image builds, security scanning, and blue-green deployments
- Manage Kubernetes clusters on EKS or GKE with HPA, cluster autoscaler, network policies, and Helm chart lifecycle management
- Write Terraform modules for VPCs, RDS Multi-AZ, ECS clusters, and S3 lifecycle policies with peer-reviewed plan reviews
- Configure Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager with SLO-based on-call alerting and documented runbook references
- Implement container security scanning with Trivy, least-privilege IAM roles, and Vault or AWS Secrets Manager integration
- Conduct and document post-mortems following production incidents using blameless root cause analysis frameworks
Scope of work
What your DevOps Engineer will build
- Zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions: automated testing, Docker image builds, security scanning, and blue-green deployments
- Production Kubernetes clusters on EKS or GKE with HPA, cluster autoscaler, network policies, and Helm chart management
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: VPCs, RDS Multi-AZ, ECS clusters, and S3 lifecycle policies — fully version-controlled and peer-reviewed
- Observability stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager configured for SLO-based on-call alerting
Vetting process
How we screen DevOps Engineer candidates
Kubernetes production experience
Has operated a production Kubernetes cluster: managed node upgrades, debugged OOMKilled pods, tuned resource requests and limits, and resolved PagerDuty alerts under pressure.
Security posture
Implements least-privilege IAM roles, stores secrets in Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, and scans container images with Trivy before every deployment.
Incident response
Has written a post-mortem. Knows the difference between a rollback and a hotfix, implements circuit breakers, and maintains runbooks for common failure scenarios.
Cost optimisation instinct
Reviews AWS Cost Explorer regularly, right-sizes EC2 instances, uses Spot instances for non-critical workloads, and implements S3 Intelligent-Tiering proactively.
Interview guidance
Interview questions to ask your DevOps Engineer
A production Kubernetes deployment has been in CrashLoopBackOff for 10 minutes. Walk me through your diagnosis.
Why ask: Tests kubectl command fluency, log analysis approach, and systematic debugging under production pressure.
How would you design a CI/CD pipeline for a monorepo with 10 microservices that need selective builds?
Why ask: Reveals change detection strategy, parallel job design, and cache management across services.
How do you handle a Terraform state conflict when two engineers apply at the same time?
Why ask: Tests understanding of remote state locking, backend configuration, and workspace isolation strategies.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a dedicated DevOps engineer from Pakistan cost?
- DevOps engineers at Codalyst Tech cost USD 1,600–2,800/month full-time, compared to USD 6,000–8,500/month in the UK or Australia.
- Can your DevOps engineers set up CI/CD pipelines from scratch?
- Yes. We build CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Bitbucket Pipelines — covering automated testing, Docker image builds, security scanning, and zero-downtime deployments.
- Do your DevOps engineers work with Kubernetes?
- Yes. Our engineers provision and manage Kubernetes clusters on EKS (AWS), GKE (Google Cloud), and self-hosted clusters. They handle HPA, network policies, persistent volumes, and Helm chart management.
- Can a DevOps engineer from Codalyst Tech help reduce our AWS costs?
- Cost optimisation is a common engagement goal. Our engineers review compute, storage, data transfer, and reserved instance strategies — typically finding 20–40% savings on most mid-size AWS accounts within the first 60 days.
