DevOps Engineer

Location: Baku, Azerbaijan

Type: Full-time

Company: DRL LLC

At eiGroup, we believe ideas can change industries - but only if they are nurtured with structure, science, and courage.

We’re an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales.

Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation.

Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies.

Together, we’re shaping how innovation takes root in this region - and how it reaches the world.

What You'll Do

Own CI/CD across Azure Pipelines and GitLab CI: YAML pipelines, multi-stage builds, environment promotion, approvals, artifact and container publishing, shared templates so each team isn't reinventing its own build

Provision and run our Kubernetes clusters, including standing up new ones from scratch with Rancher: workloads, ingress, secrets, resource limits, autoscaling, rollout and rollback strategy, Helm charts, version upgrades and etcd backups

Own our Azure estate — App Services, compute, networking, storage, Key Vault, managed identities — alongside self-hosted services running on our own infrastructure, including cost hygiene and right-sizing

Introduce Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep) from a largely manual starting point: reusable modules, state management, real parity between environments

Build and maintain monitoring and alerting: metrics collection, Grafana dashboards the teams actually use, centralised logging, and alerts that fire on real problems rather than noise

Own production: releases, incident response, root cause, backup and restore drills, and an on-call rotation designed to stay quiet

Manage secrets and access properly (Key Vault, managed identities, Entra ID, least-privilege RBAC) and put secret, dependency and image scanning into the pipelines

Work with the Project Managers across our ventures: take in infrastructure requests, prioritise them honestly against each other, and propose the cheaper version when there is one

Plan and report your work in Azure DevOps — break requests into tasks, create your own where the work originates with you, keep status current, and raise blockers early enough that PMs can plan around them

What You Bring

3+ years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, with real production ownership

Strong hands-on Linux — comfortable in the shell, able to debug a failing service without a UI

Proven CI/CD experience with Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI or equivalent, including pipelines other teams depend on

Kubernetes in production: deployments, services, ingress, config and secrets, RBAC, autoscaling — and the ability to diagnose why a pod won't start or a rollout is stuck. Helm for packaging. You have built a cluster from scratch, not only deployed into one

Solid Docker fundamentals: multi-stage builds, image size, base image hygiene

Microsoft Azure: compute, networking, storage, Key Vault, managed identities, Entra ID, Azure Monitor

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or Bicep — nice to have

Scripting in Bash plus Python or PowerShell — enough to automate a task properly instead of documenting a manual one

Networking fundamentals: DNS, TLS and certificates, reverse proxies, load balancing, VNets, subnets, NSGs, firewall rules

Databases from the operations side: backups and tested restores, connection pooling, working with developers on a slow query

Sound security instincts — you notice the exposed secret, the public endpoint, the permission nobody needed

Able to serve multiple teams with competing requests, work independently, estimate credibly and flag risk early

Good written and verbal communication in English

Our benefits include:

Medical insurance (family coverage)

Flexible working hours

Wellness program
