• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and drive post-incident reviews and long-term fixes.
• Continuously improve infrastructure, processes, tooling, and automation with a reliability-first mindset.
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to build scalable, resilient, and secure systems.

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience operating and supporting production systems at scale.
• Strong experience with Linux system administration, security best practices, and troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• High proficiency in shell scripting (Bash, Awk, etc.) and automation.
• Strong experience running Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Experience with CI/CD systems such as Jenkins and configuration management tools like Ansible.
• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Site24x7, PagerDuty, or similar.
• Experience with logging and log management tools such as Fluentd, Logstash, Kibana, or similar.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to handle production incidents calmly and effectively.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with MySQL and PostgreSQL in production environments.
• Knowledge of load balancers, DNS, and web architectures.
• Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools.
• Knowledge of Python for automation and tooling.
• Understanding of distributed systems and high-availability architectures.
