The Role:

We are looking for a high-calibre DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer who brings strong engineering fundamentals and a deep sense of ownership. You will design, build, and operate the platforms and infrastructure that enable product teams to ship quickly and safely at scale. This role is hands-on, impact-driven, and held to top-tier engineering standards.

What You Will Do:

Platform & Cloud Engineering:

- Design and operate cloud-native platforms that abstract complexity and improve developer productivity.

- Build reusable, opinionated infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code.

- Own Kubernetes clusters, networking, service orchestration, and workload reliability.

Reliability Engineering:

- Define and drive SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for business-critical services.

- Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and write clear, blameless RCAs.

- Continuously reduce operational toil through automation and engineering solutions.

CI/CD & DevOps:

- Build and evolve secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using GitOps principles.

- Enable safe, frequent production deployments with strong rollback and observability.

- Partner with application teams to embed reliability and operational excellence early in the lifecycle.

Observability & Operations:

- Implement best-in-class logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.

- Ensure alerts are actionable and aligned with service health - not noise.

- Build dashboards, runbooks, and self-healing mechanisms to improve MTTR.

Architecture & Collaboration:

- Work closely with software engineers, architects, and security teams to influence system design.

- Review infrastructure and architecture through the lens of scale, resilience, and cost efficiency.

- Champion DevOps, SRE, and cloud-native best practices across the organization.

What Were Looking For:

Core Engineering:

- Strong foundations in Linux, networking (DNS, TCP/IP), and distributed systems.

- Proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling.

- Clean Git practices and strong software-engineering discipline.

Cloud & Containers:

- Hands-on experience with AWS (primary); exposure to GCP or Azure is a plus.

- Required - strong experience operating Kubernetes in production environments.

- Required - experience with Helm and containerized workloads at scale.

Infrastructure & Tooling:

- Required - Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform.

- Preferred - configuration and automation using Chef / Ansible.

- CI/CD & GitOps: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.

Observability & Reliability:

- Metrics and alerting: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager.

- Tracing / APM: Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry.

- Incident management experience (PagerDuty or equivalent).

Data & Messaging (Working Knowledge):

- Datastores: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB.

- Streaming and search: Kafka, Elasticsearch.

- Caching: Redis.

Nice to Have:

- Experience building internal developer platforms.

- Exposure to DevSecOps and cloud security.

- Experience operating high-traffic, consumer-facing systems.

- Strong written communication - design docs, RFCs, and runbooks.
