➢ Individuals within the DevOps Engineer role work closely with clients and IT team members to understand the departmental stakeholder requirements that drive the analysis and design of quality technical solutions. DevOps Engineers are involved in the full life cycle of an application. ➢ DevOps Engineers are team members of an agile development process. They are responsible for the design and implementation of applications' build, release, deployment, and configuration activities. Other responsibilities include working with internal business partners to gather requirements, prototyping, architecting, implementing/updating solutions, building and executing test plans, performing quality reviews, managing operations, and triaging and fixing operational issues.
➢ DevOps Engineers must be able to adjust to constant business change; common types of changes include new requirements, evolving goals and strategies, and emerging technologies. DevOps Engineers require the ability to interact, develop, engineer, and communicate collaboratively at the highest technical levels with clients, vendors, partners, and all levels of MIT staff.
