DevOps Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a highly skilled DevOps Engineer (AI-Native Infrastructure & Platform Engineering) with deep expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure, automation, AI infrastructure operations, and modern DevOps/SRE practices.

This role goes beyond traditional DevOps and requires a seasoned specialist capable of building and operating AI-ready infrastructure platforms that support high-throughput APIs, LLM/AI workloads, GPU-based compute, data-intensive systems, real-time inference pipelines, and scalable ML platforms.

You will be responsible for architecting, automating, securing, and optimizing highly scalable and cost-efficient cloud environments that enable high-velocity engineering and AI teams. This is an ideal position for someone who combines technical ownership, an automation-first mindset, and a passion for developer productivity and platform reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering (AWS)

• Architect, deploy, and manage highly scalable and secure infrastructure on AWS. Design cloud platforms supporting AI/ML workloads, data pipelines, real-time APIs, and high-concurrency backend systems.
• Hands-on expertise with key AWS services including EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, VPC, CloudFront, IAM, CloudWatch, and GPU-enabled instances.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• Design multi-AZ and multi-region architectures for high availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR).
• Build reusable platform templates and shared infrastructure modules.

AI/ML Infrastructure & MLOps

• Build and maintain infrastructure for LLM applications, AI inference workloads, model serving platforms, vector databases, and feature stores.
• Support GPU-based workloads and optimize compute/storage usage.
• Enable scalable deployment patterns for AI applications using Kubernetes/EKS. Collaborate with Data Science and ML Engineering teams on model deployment, training/tuning of models, CI/CD for ML systems, experiment environments, and reproducibility.
• Support orchestration and deployment of AI workflows and inference services while implementing observability and reliability for AI pipelines.

CI/CD, Automation & Developer Productivity

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline.
• Automate deployments, environment provisioning, and release workflows.
• Build self-service developer platforms, preview environments, and reusable deployment workflows to improve developer productivity.
• Implement automated patching, scaling, backups, cleanup workflows, and drift detection.

Containers, Kubernetes & Platform Reliability

• Manage Docker-based environments, containerized applications, and optimize workloads using Kubernetes (EKS) or ECS/Fargate.
• Manage autoscaling, cluster health, node pools, ingress, service mesh, and workload isolation.
• Optimize infrastructure for performance, resilience, and cost-efficiency.
• Implement progressive deployment strategies including blue/green, canary, and rolling deployments.

Observability, Incident Response & SRE Practices

• Implement observability stacks using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or New Relic.
• Build actionable dashboards and intelligent alerting systems while defining and tracking SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems to reduce operational toil and improve MTTR.

FinOps, Cost Governance & Security

• Continuously monitor and optimize cloud costs (compute utilization, storage lifecycle, GPU usage, and data transfer) using AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, Trusted Advisor, CloudHealth, or Kubecost.
• Implement AWS security best practices for IAM, VPCs, security groups, NACLs, encryption, and manage secrets using KMS, SSM Parameter Store, or Vault.
• Build secure CI/CD pipelines with automated security checks, least-privilege access, audit logging, and ensure compliance readiness for ISO 27001, SOC2, and GDPR.

Collaboration, Leadership & Platform Culture

• Work closely with engineering, AI/ML, QA, product, and operations teams to drive a DevOps, SRE, GitOps, and automation-first culture.
• Mentor junior DevOps and Platform Engineers while creating and maintaining detailed runbooks, architecture diagrams, and platform documentation.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Have:

• 3-4 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering.
• Strong expertise in AWS cloud architecture, services, and deep understanding of Kubernetes (EKS), containers, and cloud-native systems.
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code expertise using Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK. Strong Linux administration, networking, DNS, routing, and load balancing knowledge. Strong scripting/programming experience in Python, Bash, or Go (preferred). Experience with CI/CD automation, GitOps workflows, and observability platforms supporting scalable production systems.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, MLOps, model serving, vector databases, GPU orchestration, and inference optimization.
• Familiarity with Kafka, Redis, SQS, and event-driven systems.
• Exposure to platform engineering, internal developer platforms, and tools like ArgoCD, Flux, Helm, and OpenTelemetry.
• AWS Certifications: Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or SysOps Administrator. Knowledge of distributed systems and large-scale platform operations.
