 Role Overview:

We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer to join our engineering organization to design, operate, and scale the infrastructure that supports our production services. The successful candidate will combine strong hands-on AWS and Kubernetes experience with a rigorous approach to automation, reliability, security, and operational excellence in a fast-paced, agile environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure production services are highly available and reliable, with proactive monitoring and incident management to support 24×7 operations.
• Design, implement, and operate secure, resilient AWS infrastructure using EKS, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, Route 53, VPC, EC2, CloudFormation, SNS, and Secrets Manager.
• Operate and optimize Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads; implement best practices for scaling, resource utilization, and upgrades.
• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitHub Actions) to automate builds, tests, and deployments with safe rollback strategies.
• Own deployment activities for microservices and distributed applications; collaborate with engineering teams on release coordination and deployment automation.
• Drive infrastructure automation, configuration-as-code, and IaC best practices; maintain and evolve CloudFormation templates and related tooling.
• Implement and maintain observability: logging, metrics, alerting, and dashboards to support SLO/SLI objectives.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and coordinate remediation with engineering and security teams; participate in incident response and post-incident reviews.
• Enforce and administer access controls; handle onboarding/offboarding and secret management with least-privilege principles.
• Produce and maintain runbooks, operational procedures, and release documentation.
• Support security and compliance initiatives; participation in ISO 20000 or SOC 2 efforts is an advantage.
