DevOps Engineer (George Western Cape / On-site)

DevOps Engineer

Softsure | George, Western Cape | In-Office

We want to automate everything and make deployments boring.

We don’t want “hold your breath” deployments, we want boring, repeatable, automated releases, multiple times a day.

Softsure is modernising a 15-year-old platform into a cloud-native, API-first ecosystem. This role sits at the centre of that transformation, building the pipelines, automation, and tooling that allow every engineer to ship faster and safer.

What You’ll Do

You’ll design, build, and own the DevOps and CI/CD platform: • Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions • Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) • Automate environment provisioning for fast, self-service development • Integrate security scanning into pipelines (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secrets) • Implement and manage GitHub Advanced Security • Manage secrets and configuration securely (Azure Key Vault) • Design deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, zero-downtime) • Build automated rollback capabilities • Maintain CI/CD pipeline standards and reusable templates • Migrate pipelines from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions • Maintain visibility of all pipelines and integrations

Engineering Contribution (Non-Negotiable) • Write code to automate infrastructure, pipelines, and operational tasks • Build and maintain scripts, tools, and reusable automation frameworks • Collaborate with developers to resolve build, deployment, and environment issues • Contribute to code reviews, testing, and engineering standards • Continuously improve platform reliability, performance, and scalability

If it’s manual, then you automate it.

If it breaks, then you fix it in code.
