- A core focus of the role is enabling continuous delivery through robust continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Develop, maintain, and version-control infrastructure using tools such as Terraform or similar technologies to ensure repeatable, consistent environment provisioning.
Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

- Manage and maintain container orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher) to ensure the scalability, availability, and reliability of microservices-based applications.
Automation
- Automate repetitive tasks and operational processes using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
Monitoring, Logging & Observability

Mentoring and Capability Enablement
- Actively mentor junior DevOps engineers and associates through structured on-the-job coaching, pairing, and guided task execution. Ensure transfer of operational knowledge so that day-to-day DevOps activities (CI/CD pipeline support, deployments, monitoring, and basic troubleshooting) can be independently performed by junior team members.
- Develop and maintain clear, reusable documentation, playbooks, and runbooks aligned to approved Africa Technology SOPs. Facilitate regular knowledge-sharing sessions, walkthroughs, and retrospectives to reinforce learning and consistency of execution.
