Watts Water: DevOps Engineer

The role of DevOps Engineer at Watts Water requires expertise in bridging software development and IT operations to enhance deployment frequency, service reliability, and operational efficiency. Candidates should possess hands-on experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC), and automated testing frameworks. Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell is essential for automating workflows and managing cloud infrastructure. Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes is highly valuable for scalable application deployment. A strong understanding of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and their services is important to design and maintain robust, secure, and scalable environments. Experience with configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef will enable effective system provisioning and configuration. Monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or Splunk are critical for maintaining system health and troubleshooting issues proactively. The role demands knowledge of networking concepts, security best practices, and compliance standards to ensure operational integrity. Collaboration skills are necessary to work closely with development, QA, and operations teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and automation. While specific experience and education levels are not detailed, a solid foundation in computer science or related fields combined with practical DevOps experience is implied to succeed in this position.
