Job Title : DevOps Engineer (Mid/Sr. Level)

Experience : 3 - 6 years (strong mid-level or senior)

Cloud : AWS & Azure required (optional : Digital Ocean & GCP)

We are a global team of tech adventurers, on a mission to build the Human + AI future for automotive and industrial manufacturing companies.

With increasingly complex products, faster new product release cycles, and rising customer expectations, frontline sales and service teams are often overwhelmed by the knowledge they must stay up to date on. Eligeres AI-first solutions are tailored to solve these challenges - empowering teams to perform better, faster, and smarter.

Our leadership team includes engineers and MBAs from MIT (USA), IMD (Switzerland), and London Business School (UK), bringing 20+ years of experience.

Role Overview :

The DevOps Engineer will own the infrastructure, CI/CD, reliability, and observability for multiple products and projects at the same time. This role suits someone who is accountable, takes end to-end responsibility, and can take care of tools that are self?hosted in dev and prod infra, while working closely with backend, frontend, and AI teams.

You will design and implement CI/CD pipelines from scratch, build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC), implement secure and observable API platforms (gateways, routers, load balancers, NGINX), and help systems move towards 99.9999.999% uptime using SRE's tyle practices (SLOs, monitoring, incident response).

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for multiple products and projects (backend, frontend, AI services), enabling fast, repeatable deployments across dev, staging, and prod.

- Create metrics and alerts on infra services according to the SLAs and SLOs, and recommend strategies to support those using observability products like Signoz, New Relic, etc

- Self?host and operate services and tools (e.g., n8n, logto)

- Design and operate API gateways, routers, and load balancers (e.g., API Gateway, ALB/NLB, Application Gateway, NGINX/Ingress) to provide secure, scalable access to backend services.

- Define and enforce logging standards : structured logs, correlation IDs, log levels, log retention policies, and secure logging (no secrets/PII in logs).

- Implement secure API endpoints in collaboration with developers by :

- Enforcing authentication/authorization at gateways and services (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT).

- Applying least privilege IAM, rate limiting, WAF rules, and TLS configurations on ingress points.

- Architect and maintain high-availability and resiliency patterns (multi AZ, auto-scaling, health checks, blue/green or canary deployments, rollback strategies) to support 99.9999.999% uptime targets.

- Identify gaps in current systems (reliability, security, performance, cost, observability), recommend improvements, and drive implementation end to-end (plan change validate document).

- Work with developers to containerize applications (Docker) and manage deployments on ECS/EKS/AKS/Kubernetes or serverless where appropriate.

- Implement security best practices in pipelines and infrastructure : secrets management (Secrets Manager, Key Vault), image/dependency scanning, hardened base images, secure configuration baselines.

- Contribute to internal DevOps best practices, standards, and documentation, and mentor developers on environment, logging, and deployment hygiene.

- Immediate joiners preferred

Must-Have Skills & Experience :

- 3 - 6 years of hands-on experience in DevOps / SRE / Cloud Engineering roles.

- Strong, practical experience with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, VPC, ALB/NLB, API Gateway, IAM, CloudWatch).

- AND/OR Solid experience with Azure (App Services, AKS, Azure SQL/Storage, VNets, Application Gateway/Front Door, Azure AD, Monitor).

- Proven ability to build CI/CD pipelines from scratch using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild.

- Experience with Docker and at least one container orchestration or platform (Kubernetes, EKS, AKS, ECS, or similar).

- Proven experience setting up monitoring, logging, and alerting in production environments (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK).

- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple products/projects simultaneously, prioritize work, and take ownership from design through production.

- Understanding of secure DevOps practices : secrets management, IAM, network segmentation, and basic vulnerability scanning in CI/CD.

- Experience supporting stacks including Python/Flask backends, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring Boot, and React/Next.js frontends, and generative AI services.

- Experience with cost optimization and simple FinOps workflows on AWS/Azure.

- Interest to learn, contribute, work, and grow in a startup environment.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred :

- Experience with SAST/SCA/DAST integration in pipelines (e.g., SonarQube, Snyk, OWASP ZAP) and feeding findings into a central system (e.g., Security Hub).

- Exposure to environments with formal SRE practices : defining SLOs/SLIs, managing error budgets, and running regular incident reviews.

- Build and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for AWS and Azure using tools like Terraform and/or CloudFormation/Bicep, including reusable modules and environment separation.

Behavioral Expectations :

- Ownership & Accountability : treats infrastructure, pipelines, and observability as their responsibility end?to-end; proactively surfaces risks and trade?offs and follows through on fixes.

- Multitasking & Prioritization : can juggle among multiple projects and respective infra, incident handling, and project work across several products without losing reliability or security focus.

- Communication : explains infra, logging, and API security choices clearly to developers, leads, and non?technical stakeholders.

- Continuous Improvement : actively looks for gaps in current systems (reliability, cost, security, observability), proposes improvements, and carries them out with measurable impact.

What We Offer :

- An opportunity to own and deliver a major project end-to-end - high visibility, high impact.

- Work with a motivated team, cross-functional stakeholders, and cutting-edge technologies.

- Chance to sharpen leadership and technical skills.

- Competitive compensation & benefits aligned with senior leadership in engineering
