The Information systems agency of Armenia is supporting the creation of the Armenian e-society. In leadership with the Government and the Central Bank of Armenia, our mission is to implement key standards for how public services and digital projects should be delivered. Our guiding standard is the “Digital Architecture of Armenia,” a Government-approved approach that places interoperability, security, and high-quality service delivery at its core. Our team consists of technology and policy-making specialists from various sectors, and we work transparently, engaging both the public and private sectors to help Armenia realize its goal of becoming a truly electronic society.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in implementing and maintaining cloud-native, secure, and scalable platforms critical to Armenia’s public sector digital transformation.

You will develop CI/CD pipelines, automate infrastructure provisioning, and optimize runtime environments across hybrid, public, and private cloud environments.

• Design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines to support modern development and delivery lifecycles.
• Automate provisioning of cloud resources using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, etc.

• Develop FinOps and ProcessOps practices for government agencies.
• Lead or support delivery of Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) solutions to prototype digital services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate design assumptions and deliver functional demos in short iterations.
• Apply DevOps best practices to MVP workflows for speed, compliance, and reproducibility.
• Operationalize cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes in alignment with ISAA’s governance frameworks (e.g., security, data protection, procurement).
• Enforce automated policy checks (cost, identity, access control, tagging standards) in CI/CD pipelines.
• Provide feedback/input on evolving cloud governance documents and compliance checklists.
• Implement and maintain observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, DataDog, etc.).
• Support capacity planning, high-availability configurations, and post-incident reviews (postmortems).
• Create and maintain detailed documentation of deployments, technical architectures, and operational policies.
• Contribute to the development of IaC, DevOps playbooks, reusable patterns, and configuration standards.
• Ensure all documentation is version-controlled, accessible, and regularly updated.
• Collaborate with system architects, developers, QA engineers, and external vendors for end-to-end delivery.
• Provide mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and workshops to technical staff across government institutions.
• Participate in joint task forces on infrastructure strategy and platform standardization.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging DevOps tools and practices.
• Identify opportunities to reduce operational toil and improve deployment velocity.

• 5–8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure roles, with demonstrated success at scale.
• Experience managing cloud-native applications, IaC, and secure CI/CD practices in regulated environments.
• GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, Pulumi, or equivalents.
