For the next four weeks I need a seasoned DevOps professional who can step in as the acting lead for my small engineering team. Your focus will be threefold: setting up a robust Jenkins-based CI/CD pipeline, automating our AWS infrastructure (we run our workloads in Kubernetes), and putting solid monitoring and logging in place so the team has clear operational visibility. You will work directly with three developers and a QA engineer, guiding best practices while getting hands-on with the code, Terraform/CloudFormation templates, Helm charts, and our existing Jenkins files. I expect daily Slack or Teams touch-points and a concise written summary of progress at the end of each week. Deliverables • Fully functioning Jenkins multibranch pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys to our Kubernetes staging and production namespaces. • Infrastructure-as-Code scripts committed to our repo and capable of spinning up the entire AWS environment from scratch. • Centralised monitoring and logging stack (Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalents you recommend) with dashboards and basic alert rules. Acceptance Criteria – A green pipeline from commit through production deployment with roll-back capability. – “One-click” environment provisioning documented for repeatability. – Dashboards clearly chart CPU, memory, latency, and error rate for every microservice, with alerts firing into Slack. If you can own these outcomes, coordinate with the team, and leave behind thorough documentation so they stay productive after you roll off, I’m ready to start immediately.
