DevOps Engineer
Job Description
The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering and production reliability — building, automating, and operating the platform that runs customer-facing services at scale.
You will work with software engineering teams to ship faster without breaking things: owning CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes infrastructure, observability tooling, and the incident response practices that keep uptime in the four-nines range.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Terragrunt, with infrastructure-as-code covering networking, compute, and data stores
- Operate and scale Kubernetes clusters (EKS) handling production workloads, including cluster upgrades, autoscaling policies, and multi-AZ resilience
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and ArgoCD supporting safe, frequent deployments with canary and blue-green strategies
- Instrument services with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; own SLO definitions, alerting thresholds, and dashboards used across the org
- Lead incident response for production outages — triage, mitigation, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems with actionable follow-ups
- Harden infrastructure security: IAM least-privilege policies, secrets management with Vault, network segmentation, and compliance-driven audit readiness
- Drive capacity planning and cost optimization across cloud spend, identifying savings without sacrificing reliability or performance
- 3–6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles supporting production systems
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS, IAM, VPC) and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform
- Deep working knowledge of Kubernetes: deployment strategies, Helm, operators, and troubleshooting workloads in production
- Proficiency with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar) and designing actionable alerting, not noise
- Solid scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Go for automation and tooling
- Experience running on-call rotations and leading incident response at a team level
- Bonus: GCP or multi-cloud experience, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), GitOps tooling (ArgoCD/Flux), and Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKS)
