Role Overview:
We are seeking a Senior Mobile / Cloud DevOps Engineer to support the build, deployment, release, and operational environments for enterprise mobile applications across Android and iOS platforms.
The primary requirement is for candidates with experience supporting Mobile DevOps, mobile CI/CD pipelines, build environments, release automation, and production/support activities.
However, candidates with strong Cloud DevOps experience who may not have direct Mobile DevOps experience will also be considered. Candidates with solid expertise in CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Linux, containers, scripting, cloud infrastructure, and production troubleshooting should be able to transition into the mobile environment with appropriate training.
This is primarily a DevOps and application-support role rather than a mobile application development role.
Key Responsibilities:
Support and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Android and iOS applications, including build, test, packaging, deployment, and release activities.
Support mobile application build and release environments, including macOS-based build runners/agents used for iOS and mobile workloads.
Develop and maintain reusable GitHub Actions, workflow templates, scripts, and automation utilities.
Monitor mobile CI/CD pipelines and troubleshoot build, deployment, environment, certificate, dependency, and release failures.
Provide operational and production support for mobile application delivery platforms.
Automate environment configuration, deployments, application builds, testing, and artifact management using Python, Bash, or similar scripting technologies.
Work with mobile development teams to troubleshoot Android and iOS build and deployment issues.
Support containerized platforms using Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift.
Support cloud-hosted infrastructure and DevOps services used by mobile application delivery platforms.
Troubleshoot application, infrastructure, network, performance, and integration issues across Linux, cloud, container, and mobile build environments.
Support REST API and service integrations between mobile applications, backend platforms, and cloud services.
Implement monitoring, alerting, logging, and operational dashboards to improve platform stability and supportability.
Manage and troubleshoot build dependencies, artifacts, credentials, certificates, secrets, and environment configurations.
Participate in incident management, root-cause analysis, problem management, production troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
Work closely with Mobile Development, Cloud Engineering, SRE, Security, DevOps, Infrastructure, and QA teams.
Maintain operational documentation, runbooks, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
Required Skills:
Candidates should have strong experience in Mobile DevOps or Cloud DevOps, with expertise in the following areas:
7 years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, SRE, Application Support, Platform Engineering, or related areas.
Strong hands-on experience building and supporting CI/CD pipelines.
Experience with GitHub Actions or comparable CI/CD technologies such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or similar.
Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash/Shell, or similar technologies.
Strong troubleshooting skills across build pipelines, Linux environments, containers, infrastructure, and application deployments.
Experience with Linux/Ubuntu environments.
Hands-on experience with Docker and working knowledge of Kubernetes or OpenShift.
Experience working with Git-based source-control and branching strategies.
Understanding of REST APIs and application/service integration.
Experience supporting applications or platforms in production environments.
Experience with monitoring, logging, incident troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
Good understanding of DevOps practices, release management, automation, and environment management.
Preferred Mobile DevOps Skills:
The following skills are strongly preferred, but are not mandatory if the candidate has strong Cloud DevOps experience:
Experience supporting Android and/or iOS CI/CD pipelines.
Experience supporting mobile application build, test, deployment, and production-release processes.
Experience configuring or maintaining macOS build runners/agents.
Familiarity with Android build tooling such as Gradle and Android SDK.
Familiarity with iOS build and release tooling such as Xcode, Fastlane, CocoaPods, or Swift Package Manager.
Experience troubleshooting mobile application builds, signing, certificates, provisioning profiles, dependencies, and release issues.
Familiarity with Google Play Console and Apple App Store Connect release processes.
Experience with mobile automated testing and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
Understanding of mobile application security, secrets, certificates, and credential management.
Cloud DevOps Skills:
Candidates without Mobile DevOps experience should have strong experience in several of the following areas:
Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Kubernetes or OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).
Docker and containerized application environments.
Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or similar technologies.
CI/CD pipeline design and administration.
Cloud monitoring and observability using tools such as CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Splunk, Dynatrace, Grafana, or similar.
Secrets and configuration management.
Cloud networking and application connectivity.
Production application support and incident troubleshooting.
Nice-to-Have Skills:
Experience working within an SRE or production/application-support model.
Experience with enterprise mobile application environments.
Knowledge of mobile application security and authentication technologies.
Experience with artifact repositories and package-management solutions.
Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, Splunk, Dynatrace, or Grafana.
Experience supporting applications in regulated environments such as banking or financial services.
Familiarity with Agile and DevOps delivery models.
