About The Role

We are seeking a DevOps Lead to drive infrastructure automation, developer productivity, and security practices across our product ecosystem. This is a mid-to-senior level, hands-on leadership role for someone skilled at balancing infrastructure and automation with developer enablement.

The DevOps Lead will architect scalable, reliable, and secure cloud environments; build and optimize CI/CD pipelines; and embed DevSecOps practices to ensure compliance with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 standards. This role requires close collaboration with the Engineering Lead, Testing Lead, and Product Manager to ensure speed, stability, and security in every release.

Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Automation

• Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for scalable, secure environments.
• Manage provisioning, monitoring, and performance optimization of cloud infrastructure (AWS as primary).
• Implement automated failover, backup, and disaster recovery strategies.
  
  

Developer Productivity

• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable, and repeatable deployments.
• Partner with engineers to streamline development workflows and improve build/test/release cycles.
• Develop internal tooling to support engineering velocity and quality.
  
  

DevSecOps & Compliance

• Integrate security automation into CI/CD workflows, including vulnerability scanning and dependency checks.
• Ensure infrastructure and deployment processes comply with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and client security requirements.
• Proactively identify, address, and document risks in infrastructure and deployment.
  
  

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and mentor a small DevOps team of 2–4 engineers.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering Lead and Testing Lead to align infrastructure with product needs.
• Communicate trade-offs and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  
  

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 4–6 years of professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or related fields.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
• Strong expertise in CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or similar).
• Proficiency with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong experience with monitoring and logging frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of security automation tools (Snyk, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, or equivalents).
• Familiarity with AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM).
• Excellent problem-solving, troubleshooting, and incident management skills.
• Strong mentoring and communication skills.
  
  

Evaluation Process

• Interview Rounds: Technical depth, security and compliance, and leadership interviews.
• Practical Assignment (Case Study): Design a CI/CD pipeline for a sample microservice application that runs on AWS. The pipeline should:
• Provision infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Build and containerize the application.
• Deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster.
• Integrate security scanning (static code analysis, vulnerability scanning) and automated testing.
• Implement monitoring and alerting for production stability.
