Role: Senior DevOps Engineer

Client: Saltmine (Full-Time)

Experience: 6+ Years

Ownership: High (Self-Driven)

Location: Bangalore - Hybrid (at least 3 Days in office)

Overview

We are looking for a powerhouse DevOps Engineer to take full ownership of our infrastructure

and automation roadmap. This is not a task-taker role; we need a self-driven engineer who

can identify bottlenecks, design scalable solutions, and execute them with minimal supervision.

You will be responsible for a sophisticated AWS environment, ensuring high availability, security,

and developer productivity.

Key Responsibilities(What You'll Own)

Infrastructure Excellence: Develop and maintain our AWS ecosystem (EKS, RDS, MongoDB Atlas, Redshift, etc.) using advanced Terraform patterns.

CI/CD Orchestration: Own the evolution of our Jenkins Shared Libraries and ArgoCD/GitOps workflows to enable one-click reliable deployments.

Kubernetes Management: Scale and optimize our EKS clusters, managing everything from node group lifecycles to network policies and ingress controllers.

Security & Compliance: Lead the implementation of security best practices using AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, and IAM, while managing identity through JumpCloud/LDAP.

Operational Intelligence: Build robust monitoring and alerting systems using CloudWatch and SNS to ensure zero-downtime operations.

Process Automation: Write high-quality automation scripts in Python, Groovy, and Shell to eliminate manual toil across the engineering lifecycle.

Technical Profile

Cloud: 5+ years of hands-on AWS experience (Deep knowledge of EKS, VPC, Lambda, S3, and Batch).

IaC: Expert-level mastery of Terraform (Module development and state management).

Containerization: Advanced Kubernetes administration and Docker optimization.

Automation: Proven experience writing Jenkins Groovy Shared Libraries and designing ArgoCD pipelines.

Data Systems: Experience managing distributed databases (MongoDB Atlas, PostgreSQL, Redis) and data pipelines (Glue, Redshift).

Security: Familiarity with OpenVPN, LDAP authentication, and secret management (SSM/KMS).

Who You Are

Self-Driven: You don't wait for a ticket. You see a problem (like a failing node group or a slow build), and you fix it.

Ownership Mindset: You treat the infrastructure as your own product. You are responsible for its health at any time.

Communicator: You can explain complex infrastructure changes to developers and stakeholders clearly.

Pragmatic: You balance perfect architecture with the need to ship and support business goals.

Bonus Points

Experience with Managed Airflow (MWAA) or AWS Batch.

Contributions to open-source DevOps tools.

Security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, CKS).
