Role Overview:
Experienced DevOps engineer who can own and scale production infrastructure end-to-end - from CI/CD and IaC to observability and incident response. You’ll lead design docs, harden reliability and security, drive cost/perf efficiency.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines (build, test, security scans, deploy, rollback) with quality gates and environment promotions.
- Design and operate container platforms (ECS/EKS or equivalent), service discovery, blue/green & canary strategies, and autoscaling.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation), enforce modular, reviewable, and drift-free infra.
- Build observability: metrics/logs/traces, SLOs/SLIs, dashboards, and actionable alerts; reduce MTTR through runbooks and automation.
- Champion platform reliability: capacity planning, HA/DR (multi-AZ), backup/restore testing, change management.
- Own secrets management, IAM least-privilege, network policies, and baseline hardening (CIS where relevant).
- Drive cost optimization (rightsizing, autoscaling policies, savings plans/spot, storage lifecycle) with monthly reporting.
- Establish release/incident processes (postmortems, RCAs) and lead remediation to cut change failure rate.
- Partner with Backend/AI/Frontend teams to productize models/services (GPU pools, batching, caching layers) and streamline developer workflows.
- lead design reviews, tech spikes, Monitoring and documentation.
Technical Qualifications
- 2-3+ years in DevOps/SRE/Platform roles supporting production systems at scale.
- Strong with AWS : VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, ALB/NLB, RDS/Elasticache/Object storage, CloudWatch.
- Proficient in Terraform (or CDK/CloudFormation), CI/CD (GitHub/GitLab/Jenkins/Argo) including artifacts and environment promotion.
- Containers & orchestration: Docker, task definitions/helm charts, autoscaling, health checks, readiness/liveness.
- Observability: Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, log pipelines (ELK/CloudWatch/Datadog), alert routing.
- Networking & security: VPC/Subnets, SGs/NACLs, TLS, DNS, WAF, IAM design, secrets (KMS/Parameter Store/Vault).
- Scripting/automation in Python/Bash, configuration management (Ansible or equivalent).
- Proven incident management: on-call practice, runbooks, RCAs, tuning alerts to reduce noise.
Nice to Have
- Kubernetes (EKS) production experience, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux).
- Image and dependency security (Trivy/Grype/Snyk), SBOMs, policy-as-code (OPA/Conftest).
- Data platform ops (Mysql/Postgres/PITR, replicas), streaming (Kafka/Kinesis).
- All the corresponding services in azure
Startup-Specific Expectations
- Be comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-paced, evolving environment.
- Proactively take on varied technical tasks outside your comfort zone.
- Help reduce operational toil via automation and smarter tooling.
- Contribute ideas on performance, cost savings, and process improvements.
