Job Description

We are looking for a high-caliber DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer who brings strong engineering fundamentals and a deep sense of ownership. You will design, build, and operate the platforms and infrastructure that enable product teams to ship quickly and safely - at scale.

What You Will Do

Platform & Cloud Engineering

  • Design and operate cloud-native platforms that abstract complexity and improve developer productivity.
  • Build reusable, opinionated infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
  • Own Kubernetes clusters, networking, service orchestration, and workload reliability.

Reliability Engineering

  • Define and drive SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for business-critical services.
  • Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and write clear, blameless RCAs.
  • Continuously reduce operational toil through automation and engineering solutions.

CI/CD & DevOps

  • Build and evolve secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using GitOps principles.
  • Enable safe, frequent production deployments with strong rollback and observability.
  • Partner with application teams to embed reliability and operational excellence early in the lifecycle.

Observability & Operations

  • Implement best-in-class logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
  • Ensure alerts are actionable and aligned with service health - not noise.
  • Build dashboards, runbooks, and self-healing mechanisms to improve MTTR.

Architecture & Collaboration

  • Work closely with software engineers, architects, and security teams to influence system design.
  • Review infrastructure and architecture through the lens of scale, resilience, and cost efficiency.
  • Champion DevOps, SRE, and cloud-native best practices across the organization.

What We're Looking For

Core Engineering

  • Strong foundations in Linux, networking (DNS, TCP/IP), and distributed systems.
  • Proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling.
  • Clean Git practices and strong software engineering discipline.

Cloud & Containers

  • Hands-on experience with AWS (primary), exposure to GCP or Azure is a plus.
  • Strong experience operating Kubernetes in production environments (required).
  • Experience with Helm and containerized workloads at scale (required).

Infrastructure & Tooling

  • Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (required).
  • Configuration and automation using Chef/Ansible (preferred).
  • CI/CD & GitOps: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions / Jenkins / GitLab CI.

Observability & Reliability

  • Metrics and alerting: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager.
  • Tracing/APM: Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry.
  • Incident management experience (PagerDuty or equivalent).

Data & Messaging (Working Knowledge)

  • Datastores: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB.
  • Streaming & search: Kafka, Elasticsearch.
  • Caching: Redis.

Educational Background

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field from a recognized institution.
  • Strong grounding in operating systems, computer networks, distributed systems, databases, and software engineering principles.
  • Formal coursework or academic projects involving cloud computing, containerization, Linux systems, networking, or automation are highly valued.
  • Equivalent practical experience in building and operating large-scale, production-grade platforms may be considered in lieu of formal education.
  • Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer, CKA/CKAD, or Terraform certifications are a plus, but not mandatory.

Nice to Have

  • Experience building internal developer platforms.
  • Exposure to DevSecOps and cloud security.
  • Experience operating high-traffic, consumer-facing systems.
  • Strong written communication (design docs, RFCs, runbooks).
