We are a mainly digital player, selling fashion as well as home decoration. Associated with the Galeries Lafayette group and present in Portugal, in Leiria, La Redoute is looking for a **DevOps Engineer**. **About the Position** As a DevOps Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our infrastructure evolution, responsible for designing, building, and maintaining cloud platforms that enable our teams to innovate faster and deploy with confidence. This role spans cloud infrastructure management, Infrastructure as Code development, and identity management systems \- all underpinned by a philosophy of automation and best practices. Your primary focus will be on optimizing and managing our Azure environments while developing and maintaining robust infrastructure as code. You'll work across multiple dimensions of our platform \- from Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads to cloud services to security and compliance \- ensuring everything runs reliably, efficiently, and securely. Beyond the technical aspects, you'll advance DevOps culture, helping developers adopt cloud\-native practices, sharing knowledge openly, and fostering an environment where everyone understands the value of good infrastructure. You'll take pride in reducing operational friction, automating repetitive tasks, and helping your colleagues succeed. **What we're looking for** **Technical Expertise**: You bring solid, hands\-on experience with Azure cloud platforms, Infrastructure as Code, and modern DevOps practices. You understand containerization, cloud architecture, and how to build systems that are both efficient and maintainable. **Ownership Mindset**: You believe that good infrastructure is a service to your team. You take ownership of problems, see the bigger picture, and aren't satisfied until things are not just working, but sustainable and well\-understood. **Continuous Improvement Mentality**: You're driven by the desire to make things better \- whether that's reducing deployment time, improving observability, or automating manual processes. You learn from incidents and help others do the same. **Collaborative Spirit**: You recognize that DevOps is not a solo role. You work effectively with architects, security engineers, database specialists, developers, and other stakeholders. You communicate clearly, listen actively, and see diverse perspectives as a strength. **Pragmatic Problem\-Solving**: You balance perfectionism with practicality.
