• Design & Build Infrastructure: Architect, implement, and manage our cloud infrastructure (AWS & GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Master CI/CD Pipelines: Own, optimize, and secure the end-to-end CI/CD pipeline to enable rapid, reliable, and automated software deployments.
• Containerize & Orchestrate: Design and maintain containerized environments using Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes for scalable and efficient application deployment.
• Monitor & Optimize Performance: Implement and manage comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to ensure system health and proactively resolve issues.
• Ensure Security & Compliance: Embed security best practices into the development lifecycle (DevSecOps), managing secrets, performing vulnerability scans, and ensuring infrastructure compliance.
• Collaborate & Automate: Work closely with development teams to foster a DevOps culture, identify bottlenecks, and automate everything from infrastructure provisioning to operational workflows.
• Drive Reliability: Practice incident management and lead post-mortem analyses to create a culture of continuous improvement and system resilience.

Who You Are

• You hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• You have 5-7 years of proven experience in a DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or similar role.

You possess deep, hands-on expertise with:

• Cloud Platforms: Advanced knowledge of AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC) and GCP (Experience with Azure/Azure DevOps will be a plus).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Mastery of Terraform or CloudFormation.
• CI/CD Tools: Expert-level experience in designing and managing pipelines with GitHub Actions, ArgoCD (Experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps will be a plus).
• Containerization & Orchestration: Strong proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes, including cluster management and service deployment.
• Scripting & Automation: Fluency in Shell scripting and at least one language like Python or Go.
• Monitoring & Logging: Proven experience with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or the ELK Stack.
• Experience with Helm charts and the development/management of GitHub applications.
• You have a solid understanding of networking, security principles, and Linux system administration.
• You are an excellent problem-solver with a systematic approach to troubleshooting complex distributed systems.
• You have strong communication skills and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

Nice To Have

• Relevant professional certifications such as AWS & GCP Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, CKAD (Kubernetes), or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
• Experience with configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.
• Knowledge of database administration and performance tuning for PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB.
• Experience in a microservices architecture and managing service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
• Background in a software development role, providing a strong understanding of the SDLC.
