DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer I, II, III

We are looking for a high-caliber DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer who brings strong engineering fundamentals and a deep sense of ownership. You will design, build, and operate the platforms and infrastructure that enable product teams to ship quickly and safely - at scale.

What You Will Do

Platform & Cloud Engineering

• Design and operate cloud-native platforms that abstract complexity and improve developer productivity.

• Build reusable, opinionated infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.

• Own Kubernetes clusters, networking, service orchestration, and workload reliability.

Reliability Engineering

• Define and drive SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for business-critical services.

• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and write clear, blameless RCAs.

• Continuously reduce operational toil through automation and engineering solutions.

CI/CD & DevOps

• Build and evolve secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using GitOps principles.

• Enable safe, frequent production deployments with strong rollback and observability.

• Partner with application teams to embed reliability and operational excellence early in the lifecycle.

Observability & Operations

• Implement best-in-class logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.

• Ensure alerts are actionable and aligned with service health - not noise.

• Build dashboards, runbooks, and self-healing mechanisms to improve MTTR.

Architecture & Collaboration

• Work closely with software engineers, architects, and security teams to influence system design.

• Review infrastructure and architecture through the lens of scale, resilience, and cost efficiency.

• Champion DevOps, SRE, and cloud-native best practices across the organization.

What We’re Looking For

Core Engineering

• Strong foundations in Linux, networking (DNS, TCP/IP), and distributed systems.

• Proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling.

• Clean Git practices and strong software engineering discipline.

Cloud & Containers

• Hands-on experience with AWS (primary), exposure to GCP or Azure is a plus.

• Strong experience operating Kubernetes in production environments (required).

• Experience with Helm and containerized workloads at scale (required).

Infrastructure & Tooling

• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (required).

• Configuration and automation using Chef/Ansible (preferred).

• CI/CD & GitOps: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions / Jenkins / GitLab CI.

Observability & Reliability

• Metrics and alerting: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager.

• Tracing/APM: Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry.

• Incident management experience (PagerDuty or equivalent).

Data & Messaging (Working Knowledge)

• Datastores: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB.

• Streaming & search: Kafka, Elasticsearch.

• Caching: Redis.

Requirements

Educational Background

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field from a recognized institution.

• Strong grounding in operating systems, computer networks, distributed systems, databases, and software engineering principles.

• Formal coursework or academic projects involving cloud computing, containerization, Linux systems, networking, or automation are highly valued.

• Equivalent practical experience in building and operating large-scale, production-grade platforms may be considered in lieu of formal education.

• Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer, CKA/CKAD, or Terraform certifications are a plus, but not mandatory.

Nice to Have

• Experience building internal developer platforms.

• Exposure to DevSecOps and cloud security.

• Experience operating high-traffic, consumer-facing systems.

• Strong written communication (design docs, RFCs, runbooks).
