Role Overview: As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be the architect of our infrastructure's reliability, scalability, and security. You will transition our operations toward a pure GitOps model, ensuring that our systems are self-healing, observable, and highly automated. You will be responsible for the entire plumbing of the engineering organization, from low-level Linux administration and networking to high-level Kubernetes orchestration and multi-environment deployment strategies.
Key Responsibilities
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and maintain global infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring all cloud resources are version-controlled and reproducible.
- Configuration Management: Utilize Ansible for automated server provisioning and application configuration management across various environments.
- Kubernetes Orchestration: Manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters and Docker containerization strategies, focusing on resource optimization and security hardening.
- Continuous Delivery & GitOps: Design and implement automated CI/CD pipelines. Lead the transition to GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD or Flux to automate application deployments.
- Deployment Strategies: Implement and manage advanced deployment patterns, including Blue-Green and Canary releases, to ensure zero-downtime updates and easy rollbacks.
- Observability Mastery: Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack:
- Metrics: Prometheus, Signoz & Grafana.
- Logging: Loki or ELK Stack.
- Tracing: OpenTelemetry (OTel) for distributed system insights.
- Secure Networking: Manage secure remote access and inter-site connectivity using WireGuard-based VPNs.
- SRE & Reliability: Establish Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets. Lead Incident Response and post-mortem analyses to drive systemic improvements.
- Disaster Recovery: Own the backup and recovery strategy, implementing automated tools to ensure data integrity and rapid restoration capabilities.
Core Requirements
- Automation: Expert-level Shell Scripting (Bash/Zsh) and a deep understanding of Linux Administration (Process management, networking stack, storage).
- Orchestration & Tooling: Proven experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform.
- Networking: Solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, Load Balancing, and modern VPN protocols like WireGuard.
- Observability: Hands-on experience configuring exporters, dashboards, and alerting rules in a cloud-native environment.
- Cloud Environments: Experience managing infrastructure across Multiple Environments (Dev, Staging, Prod) ensuring parity and isolation.
- Chaos Engineering: Experience testing system resilience by injecting controlled failures.
- Toil Reduction: A mindset focused on automating yourself out of a job by eliminating repetitive manual tasks.
- Security First: Implementation of Secret Management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault) and Shift Left security in pipelines.
Preferred Skills
- Certifications such as CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) or HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate.
- Familiarity with database administration and high-availability (HA) configurations for PostgreSQL/Redis/Cassandra.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code testing frameworks (e.g., Terratest).
