In this role, here are the things you would be working on :

1. Own the deployment and pipelines :

- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines across all services, ensuring fast, reliable, and repeatable deployments.

- Manage infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation or equivalent) for provisioning, scaling, and version-controlling environments.

- Standardize deployment practices across dev, staging, and production, including rollback strategies, blue-green/canary releases, and zero-downtime deployments.

- Be the primary point of accountability for pipeline health, build times, and deployment failures, triage and fix, not just flag.

2. Ensure SLAs Are Met :

- Define, track, and report on SLIs/SLOs for critical services; own the error-budget conversation with engineering teams.

- Build dashboards and alerting that catch SLA breaches before customers do.

- Lead incident response for infrastructure and deployment issues, driving root-cause analysis and post-mortems.

- Partner with architects and engineering leads to find single points of failure and improve system resilience.

3. Monitor cost and reduce :

- Set up cost visibility dashboards across cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, data pipelines) and flag anomalies proactively.

- Run regular cost audits to identify waste and idle resources, oversized instances, redundant environments.

- Implement rightsizing, reserved instance/savings plan strategies, and autoscaling policies to cut spend without hurting performance.

- Own a cost-reduction roadmap with measurable targets and report savings back to the team.

4. Automate Observability & Ops :

- Build and maintain the monitoring, logging, and alerting stack (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) across all environments.

- Automate routine ops work, health checks, scaling, backups, certificate renewals to cut manual intervention.

- Create self-service tooling and runbooks so engineering teams can diagnose and resolve common issues without escalating.

- Continuously expand observability coverage as new services and data sources come.

Qualifications that set you apart :

- 3+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience on cloud, CI/CD, or systems engineering.

- A true problem solver : you care as much about understanding how things work under the hood as you do about building them.

- First-principles thinker who enjoys taking things apart, literally and figuratively, to make them more resilient.

- High ownership, dependable, accountable, and comfortable being the person who sees things through end to end.

- Proactive and self-directed; you work well independently and step up to lead when the situation calls for it.

- Hands-on experience with both AWS and GCP.
