DevOps Engineer

About The Role The role owns the infrastructure that keeps production systems running at scale - Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, cloud networking, and the observability stack that catches failures before users do.

The team treats infrastructure as a product: versioned, tested, and continuously shipped. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and production operations, working directly with backend teams to make deployments safer and systems more reliable.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes infrastructure on AWS or GCP using Terraform and Helm, treating all infrastructure as version-controlled code
• Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD) from commit to production, including automated testing, canary deployments, and rollback automation
• Build and tune observability systems - Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry - with actionable SLOs and alerting that reduces noise while catching real incidents
• Lead incident response and postmortems, driving root-cause analysis and permanent fixes rather than recurring band-aids
• Optimize cloud costs and performance across compute, storage, and networking; audit and right-size resources continuously
• Harden production environments: IAM policies, network segmentation, secrets management (Vault), and compliance-aligned security practices
• Partner with application teams on service reliability - capacity planning, load testing, and eliminating single points of failure

What We Are Looking For

• 3–6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, with at least 2 years running production Kubernetes at scale
• Deep proficiency with Terraform (or equivalent IaC) and one major cloud provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, Go, or Bash
• Hands-on experience with container networking, service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), and distributed tracing
• Demonstrated incident management experience - leading on-call rotations, writing postmortems, and improving MTTR
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• Bonus: CKA/CKS certification, experience with GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux), multi-region failover design, or FinOps/cloud cost optimization
