Senior Cloud/DevOps Platform Engineer building secure Azure, AKS, and AI platforms for CDW, a technology solutions provider. Automating infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and production operations.
About the role
- Senior Python automation engineer building test frameworks for Telesat’s satellite-network microservices. Automating APIs, messaging, CI/CD, containers, and Kubernetes validation.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, maintain, and document production-grade automation frameworks, reusable Python packages, fixtures, command-line tools, test utilities, and supporting services.
- Use AI-assisted development tools for coding, refactoring, test generation, debugging, analysis, and documentation while reviewing outputs for correctness, security, maintainability, and licensing risk.
- Design automated tests with Pytest and develop or extend Pytest plugins.
- Read existing Java code and create or modify small Java scripts or utilities when required.
- Develop, integrate, and validate REST APIs and gRPC services, including streaming patterns.
- Build automation for distributed, event-driven microservices and asynchronous workflows using Azure Service Bus and Azure Blob Storage.
- Create functional, integration, component, contract, system, regression, reliability, resilience, performance, and scalability automation.
- Validate distributed-system behaviours including eventual consistency, partial failure, timeout propagation, retries, duplicate delivery, backpressure, concurrency, and service recovery.
- Integrate tests, reports, logs, artifacts, environment controls, and quality gates into GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Runner environments.
- Package and execute automation in containers and deploy, inspect, diagnose, and troubleshoot tests and microservices on Kubernetes.
- Improve repeatability through deterministic test data, configuration management, environment isolation, structured logging, metrics, traces, and actionable diagnostics.
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, engineering standards, documentation, and peer knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate with software developers, DevOps engineers, architects, and quality engineering stakeholders to improve testability, feedback cycles, failure diagnosis, and release readiness.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on Python development experience, including object-oriented design, typing, packaging, dependency management, concurrency or asynchronous programming, error handling, logging, and maintainable framework architecture.
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing substantial automation frameworks and engineering tooling, not only writing individual test cases.
- Deep understanding of Pytest architecture, collection and execution lifecycle, fixture design, parametrization, hooks, configuration, plugin development, and plugin ecosystems.
- Practical experience using AI-powered development tools as part of normal engineering workflows, with disciplined human review and validation of generated code and tests.
- Working knowledge of Java sufficient to read production code and write or modify small scripts and utilities.
- Experience developing, integrating, or testing REST APIs and gRPC services, including streaming patterns and distributed failure modes.
- Experience automating asynchronous messaging and object-storage workflows using Azure Service Bus and/or Azure Blob Storage, or closely comparable technologies.
- Experience with GitLab, merge-request workflows, source-control best practices, GitLab CI/CD, runners, pipeline artifacts, and automated quality gates.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architecture, microservices, Linux, containers, CI/CD, and automated deployment pipelines.
- Strong debugging, analytical, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently in a senior developer capacity.
- Must be able to work in Canada and obtain clearance under the Canadian Controlled Goods program (CGP) and Reliability.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
