• Manage, monitor, and tune databases including PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, and OpenSearch / ElasticSearch, ensuring optimal performance, data integrity, and high availability.
• Design, deploy, and maintain robust queueing and messaging systems such as Kafka and NATS, supporting high-throughput, low-latency distributed applications.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ensuring reproducibility, version control, and automated provisioning of cloud resources.
• Set up, configure, and optimize CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, automating build, test, and deployment workflows for rapid and reliable software delivery.
• Create, manage, and enhance monitoring and observability solutions with Grafana, including the development of comprehensive dashboards and alerting systems for proactive incident response.
• Conduct regular cost analysis and optimization of cloud resources, identifying opportunities to reduce spend while maintaining performance and reliability.
• Collaborate closely with development, QA, and product teams to ensure seamless integration of reliability practices throughout the software lifecycle.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem processes, driving continuous improvement in system resilience and operational processes.
• Document infrastructure, processes, and best practices to ensure knowledge sharing and operational transparency across teams.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in SRE, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure.

Required Experience & Skills

• Extensive hands-on experience with AWS, including advanced services (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, ECS / EKS, etc.), with a proven track record of architecting and managing large-scale cloud environments.
• Deep expertise in managing, tuning, and troubleshooting databases such as PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, and OpenSearch / ElasticSearch, including backup, replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
• Advanced proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, including module development, state management, and integration with CI / CD workflows.
• Strong experience with queueing and messaging systems like Kafka and NATS, including setup, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting in production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to design, implement, and optimize CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, with a focus on automation, reliability, and security.
• Expert-level skills in monitoring, observability, and alerting using Grafana, Prometheus, and related tools, including dashboard creation and metric analysis.
• Proven experience in cost optimization strategies for cloud infrastructure, including resource right-sizing, reserved instances, and usage monitoring.
• Solid scripting and automation skills in languages such as Python, Bash, or Go, enabling efficient operations and process automation.
• Strong understanding of networking, security best practices, and compliance requirements in cloud environments.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting abilities, especially in high-pressure, production-critical situations.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills, with experience working in cross-functional teams and fast-paced startup environments as well as large organizations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or related roles, with demonstrated impact in both startup and enterprise settings.
