• Hands-on expertise with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), preferably Terraform and reusable automation patterns.

• Strong experience with GitLab CI/CD, pipeline templates, automation, and DevOps practices.

• Understanding of environment provisioning, application deployment, configuration management, service dependencies, and virtualisation.

• Understanding on database provisioning, test-data management, masking and refresh strategies.

• Knowledge of cloud/on-prem networking, compute, storage, IAM, containers and Kubernetes.

• Experience designing observability, CMDB integration, cost management and chargeback/showback capabilities.

• Strong understanding of architecture governance, security, operational models and enterprise integration.

• Ability to assess existing platforms, identify constraints, and design reusable reference architectures and implementation patterns.

• Strong documentation, stakeholder management and technical leadership skills Key responsibilities • Lead discovery of existing platform foundations, constraints, workplace-booking processes, and current operating models.

• Assess application deployability, service dependencies, configuration, databases, test data, and virtualisation requirements.





• Working closely with customer stakeholders to understand priorities, constraints, expectations, and success criteria for the EoD platform.

• Liaise with customer architecture, Environment, Testing and project teams to understand the landscape, drive alignment, resolve technical dependencies and secure decisions required to finalise the design.

• Define the EoD reference architecture, reusable IaC patterns, and architecture/governance decisions across AWS, on-premises and GCP.

• Design and build reusable GitLab EoD pipeline templates and automation for environment provisioning and application deployment.

• Establish reusable patterns for configuration, virtualisation, test-data provisioning, sizing, cost attribution, and observability.

• Define the EoD governance, operating model, onboarding toolkit, and implementation guidance for project teams.

• Lead pilot implementation and validate observability, CMDB integration, cost attribution, operational readiness, and architecture compliance.

• Translate pilot outcomes into recommendations, identified gaps and risks, acceptance criteria, and a prioritised next-wave implementation backlog.
