Responsibilities

Build, run and maintain CI/CD pipelines on AWS / Azure for one or more product teams — Jenkins, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps Pipelines, with reusable workflow libraries. Provision AWS / Azure infrastructure with Terraform — VPC / VNet, IAM, compute (EC2 / VMs), managed databases, storage, networking. Maintain remote-state management and module versioning. Operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS / AKS / GKE) for product workloads with platform add-ons (Ingress, cert-manager, External Secrets Operator), IRSA / Workload Identity, and quarterly minor-version upgrades. Stand up observability — Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch / Azure Monitor / Stackdriver, ELK or Loki — and define SLOs jointly with product owners. Implement DevSecOps fundamentals: image scanning (Trivy), IaC scanning (Checkov / tfsec), secret-scanning (gitleaks) and signed-image promotion through environments. Take part in on-call rotation with a buddy for the first six months; lead at least one post-incident review per quarter from month seven onwards.

Requirements & qualifications

B.Tech / B.E. / MCA / equivalent (2024, 2025 or 2026 passout). Working knowledge of Linux, Git, Bash and at least one of Python / Go. Comfortable with Docker basics and at least one AWS / Azure service. Self-driven; the ability to read official cloud-vendor documentation and produce a working proof-of-concept is mandatory. Cloud or DevOps coursework, hackathon participation, or visible GitHub contributions all count meaningfully here.

Why this role in 2026

Capgemini India hires entry-level DevOps engineers in cohort batches with structured 8-12 week onboarding, paired-mentorship for the first six months, and clear graduation criteria into the on-call rotation. For freshers committed to a multi-year cloud / DevOps career, this is a strong launchpad in the Hyderabad market.

Application tips

Apply via the official careers portal (link below). Tailor your CV to highlight any cloud or DevOps coursework, hackathons, internships, or open-source contributions. Reference the specific AWS / Azure services in the job posting; vague claims hurt more than they help. Recruiter response time is typically 1-2 weeks for cohort hiring at this level.

Interview preparation

Three to four rounds typical: HR / aptitude screen, a technical phone screen on cloud + Linux + Bash + one programming language, hands-on (write a small Terraform module or a CI workflow), and a hiring-manager round. Brush up on AWS / Azure core services, Kubernetes basics (Pod / Deployment / Service), Docker layers and Linux command-line.

Career growth

Inside Capgemini India: DevOps Engineer (year 0-1) → Senior DevOps Engineer (year 2-3) → Lead / Tech Architect (year 4-5). Engineers also rotate into SRE, FinOps and Cloud Security tracks.
