Role Summary:

As an DevOps Engineer, you will work closely with a product development team and act as the key enabler for getting services production ready in GCP. This role is the "engine" that helps product teams onboard to our cloud, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and operational readiness practices, ensuring services can be deployed, supported, and run reliably in production.

Key Responsibilities:

- Work embedded with product teams to enable safe and repeatable deployments from DEV to PROD, including application releases and infrastructure changes.

- Build, improve, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitOps principles and ensure teams follow standard guardrails.

- Develop and maintain application specific Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to deploy services (containers/VMs, secrets, load balancers, certs) using reusable platform components.

- Act as first responder for production incidents for the applications you support; drive operational concerns to closure in partnership with SRE/ROC and development teams.

- Improve operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and contributing to self service frameworks for developers.

- Identify gaps and drive improvements across reliability, scaling, automation, and cost optimisation for your product area.

- Partner with architects/platform teams to review architectures and ensure solutions meet cloud readiness / operational standards.

Education / Background:

- B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science

- Product company experience preferred; fintech/domain experience preferred

Must Have Skills:

- High ownership, clear communicator, comfortable working embedded with product teams.

- GCP (3+ years) in production environments.

- Strong Kubernetes / GKE experience (running & supporting production workloads).

- Docker + container build/release patterns (hands-on).

- CI/CD with GitHub Actions (build + deploy + troubleshooting).

- Terraform (IaC) for infra delivery.

- NGINX + Helm (Ingress basics, chart usage/standardisation).

- Solid cloud networking (VPCs, firewall rules, ingress/egress).
