Job Overview

Rockwell Automation is hiring a Software Engineer - DevOps for its Pune, India team. This is a full-time hybrid opportunity for an experienced DevOps, cloud engineering, or infrastructure automation professional with at least five years of relevant experience. The role focuses on building reliable cloud-native environments, improving delivery automation, and supporting enterprise applications through modern DevOps practices.

You will work closely with software engineering, platform, and operations teams to create secure and scalable infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. The position combines cloud engineering, CI/CD automation, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, scripting, monitoring, and operational support. It is a strong opportunity for professionals who enjoy improving engineering processes and building dependable platforms for application teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.
• Manage Microsoft Azure infrastructure, services, and cloud-based environments used by enterprise applications.
• Deploy and support containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and operational activities using Terraform and scripting.
• Monitor platform and application performance, investigate incidents, and improve availability and reliability.
• Apply DevOps engineering practices that support secure, repeatable, and efficient software releases.
• Work with engineering, platform, and operations teams to resolve technical issues and improve delivery workflows.
• Support release automation and help establish consistent operational processes across application environments.

Required Skills

The core requirement is strong practical experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, or infrastructure automation. Candidates should have hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, and GitHub Actions. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines is important because the role is responsible for improving software delivery automation.

You should also be comfortable working with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized application deployment and support. Scripting ability in PowerShell, Bash, or Python is required for automation and operational tasks. Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or ARM/Bicep is also expected.

A working understanding of both Linux and Windows environments is important. Candidates should be able to troubleshoot infrastructure and application issues, understand deployment workflows, and work methodically when resolving reliability or performance problems.

Preferred Skills

Experience with GitOps practices and tools such as FluxCD or ArgoCD is an advantage. Familiarity with Azure Key Vault, Vault, and certificate management solutions can strengthen your profile, particularly for environments where secure secrets and credentials are important.

Experience with Artifactory or Nexus and cloud monitoring tools is also useful. Azure certifications such as AZ-104 or AZ-400 are preferred, although the job description does not state that they are mandatory.

Education

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is expected. Equivalent professional experience may also be considered.

Experience

The position requires at least five years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Infrastructure Automation. Candidates should demonstrate practical experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, containers, scripting, and Infrastructure as Code rather than only theoretical knowledge.

Required Technologies

The primary technology stack includes Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, ARM/Bicep, PowerShell, Bash, Python, Linux, and Windows.

The broader environment may also include FluxCD, ArgoCD, Azure Key Vault, Vault, certificate management solutions, Artifactory, Nexus, and cloud monitoring tools. GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and release automation are important engineering practices for this position.

Soft Skills

Successful DevOps engineers need strong collaboration and communication skills because the role works across software engineering, platform, and operations teams. A structured approach to troubleshooting, ownership of operational issues, willingness to improve existing processes, and the ability to communicate technical problems clearly are valuable.

The role also suits engineers who enjoy continuous learning. Cloud platforms, DevOps tooling, security practices, and delivery methods evolve quickly, so an effective candidate should be comfortable learning new tools and applying better engineering practices when appropriate.

Benefits of Working in this Role

The job description lists several employee programs and development resources. These include mindfulness support with a premium Calm membership, volunteer paid time off for eligible employees after six months for eligible employees, company volunteer and donation matching, an Employee Assistance Program, personalized wellbeing programs through OnTrack, and an on-demand digital course library for professional development. Other local benefits may also apply.

The technical scope of the role provides an opportunity to work with cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, GitOps, monitoring, and enterprise DevOps practices.

Work Mode

This is a hybrid full-time position based in Pune, India. The role is designed to work with distributed engineering, platform, and operations teams while supporting cloud and DevOps activities.

Location

The listed work location is Pune, Maharashtra, India. Candidates should confirm the applicable office arrangements and hybrid expectations during the hiring process.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is suited to experienced DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and software professionals who have at least five years of relevant experience. It is particularly relevant to candidates with strong Microsoft Azure expertise and hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and scripting.

Professionals who have worked with GitOps, Azure security services, artifact repositories, monitoring platforms, or Azure certifications can also bring valuable additional experience.

Career Growth

This role can support continued growth toward senior DevOps engineering, cloud platform engineering, infrastructure architecture, Site Reliability Engineering, or DevSecOps-oriented roles. Working across cloud infrastructure, automation, containers, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and enterprise application delivery can help deepen both technical and operational expertise.

Application Advice

Highlight your hands-on experience rather than listing tools without context. Your resume should clearly show projects involving Azure, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and scripting. Mention the scale or impact of infrastructure automation and reliability improvements where possible.

If you have used FluxCD, ArgoCD, Azure Key Vault, Vault, Artifactory, Nexus, monitoring tools, or Azure certifications such as AZ-104 or AZ-400, include them in a relevant skills or project section. Be prepared to discuss pipeline design, cloud infrastructure, container troubleshooting, Infrastructure as Code, deployment automation, monitoring, and operational problem-solving.
