Job description
The Junior DevOps Engineer builds foundational DevOps skills by supporting the maintenance of CI/CD pipelines, assisting with monitoring and alerting, and helping with basic infrastructure, access, and security administration tasks, all under the close supervision of more senior engineers. The role is expected to grow steadily in independence and technical scope as competence and confidence increase across the toolchain and internal platforms.
CI/CD Pipeline Support
Assists with the maintenance and minor configuration changes of existing CI/CD pipelines under guidance from senior engineers.
Monitors pipeline runs, flags failures, and helps triage straightforward build/deploy issues.
Follows documented runbooks and change procedures when making pipeline adjustments.
Escalates ambiguous or higher-risk pipeline changes to a senior engineer before proceeding.
Monitoring & Alerting Assistance
Helps configure and maintain basic monitoring dashboards and alert rules under supervision.
Performs first-line review of alerts and escalates genuine incidents promptly to senior engineers.
Documents recurring alert patterns and contributes observations to runbook improvements.
Learns the organisation's monitoring stack (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) and standard thresholds.
Basic Infrastructure & Environment Tasks
Assists with routine infrastructure tasks (e.g., environment provisioning support, configuration updates) under close supervision.
Follows infrastructure-as-code templates and change processes rather than making ad-hoc changes.
Documents steps taken and outcomes for tasks performed, to support knowledge transfer.
Builds working familiarity with core cloud services and infrastructure tooling used by the team.
Access, Security & Platform Administration Support
Assists with routine access management tasks (e.g., user provisioning/de-provisioning) following approved processes.
Supports basic security hygiene tasks such as patch tracking and access reviews under supervision.
Helps administer internal platforms (e.g., Bitrix24 and similar internal collaboration/CRM tools) for routine, well-defined requests.
Escalates any anomalous access requests or potential security concerns immediately.
Ramp-Up and Learning Velocity
Actively works through onboarding materials, toolchain documentation, and internal platform guides.
Pairs frequently with senior DevOps engineers to build understanding of pipelines, infrastructure, and security practices.
Tracks own learning goals and progress with support from a mentor or the DevOps Lead.
Builds toward taking on progressively larger and less-supervised tasks.
Adherence to Standards and Process
Follows documented change management, security, and operational procedures without bypassing approval gates.
Uses agreed tools and ticketing systems consistently and accurately.
Applies feedback from senior engineers and the DevOps Lead consistently in subsequent work.
Raises process gaps or unclear documentation to the team rather than working around them.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree or diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field, OR a completed relevant bootcamp/certification path with a demonstrable practical portfolio.
0-2 years' experience in a DevOps, systems administration, or software development support capacity.
Basic understanding of version control (e.g., Git) and branching workflows.
Exposure to Linux/Windows server environments and basic scripting (e.g., Bash, PowerShell, Python).
Some exposure to CI/CD concepts and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines).
Basic understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS).

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Affidea BV. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
