Senior Bizops Engineer

Mastercard Mastercard · Fintech · O Fallon, MO +1 · Engineering

Senior BizOps Engineer with a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) mindset to help solve problems, build CI/CD pipelines, and lead DevOps automation and best practices. The role involves engaging in and improving the full lifecycle of services, analyzing ITSM activities, supporting services from inception to operation, maintaining system health, scaling systems through automation, supporting the application CI/CD pipeline, practicing incident response, and taking a holistic approach to problem-solving. Specific tasks include designing and implementing deployment automation using Chef, orchestrating builds with Jenkins, supporting deployments, and designing a Git-based code management strategy. Requires experience with algorithms, data structures, scripting, pipeline management, software design, and CI/CD tools like Git/BitBucket, Jenkins, Maven, Artifactory, and Chef.

What you'd actually do

  1. Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services—from inception and design, through deployment, operation and refinement.
  2. Support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, capacity planning and launch reviews.
  3. Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency and overall system health.
  4. Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
  5. Support the application CI/CD pipeline for promoting software into higher environments through validation and operational gating, and lead Mastercard in DevOps automation and best practices.
