Overview
Western and Southern Financial Group is a Fortune 500 company and worldwide life insurance industry leader with over $50 billion of life insurance inforce. Gerber Life is a subsidiary offering protection for the entire family with over 3.8 million active insurance policies. Gerber Life primarily distributes insurance products through direct marketing and agency methods. A custom modernized sales software platform created by the IT Solutions Delivery (ITSD) Team runs all new business and underwriting operations. ITSD performs all custom application development on the new platform; specification & design through release management and production application support.
The Manager of DevOps & Cloud Engineering plays a key role for the enterprise as a member of ITSD through hands-on management and optimization of the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline resulting in the quick and safe release of incremental software improvements into production. DevOps techniques are continuously applied by this role in order to avoid deployment pipeline congestion between various build versions across multiple environments. Code scan, API and UI test automation jobs must always run and continue to provide meaningful results used to qualify each new software build as ready or not for release into each environment and eventually production. Additionally, this role constantly assesses sales platform production problems to identify new test automation opportunities that can be introduced into the release management process for the purpose of avoiding regression and reducing the burden of manual UAT overhead. This role will also focus on evolving the release management process while collaborating to establish an initial cloud presence for the company.
The ideal candidate will have experience designing, developing, and optimizing release management processes in both premise and cloud based environments. A veteran DevOps Engineer by trade with very deep and very broad full-stack software engineering experience is needed. Extensive infrastructure, application, integration, data and security technology expertise along with a passion for innovation and hands-on software development leadership is essential. The ability to coordinate with and contribute alongside large teams of software and web engineers to deliver solutions that maximize revenue and minimize cost while meeting business objectives is necessary. Intellectual curiosity, an unquenchable thirst for technical knowledge and thriving in a fast-paced agile environment are key traits for performing well in this position.
