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
