• Monitor and analyze system performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks and other issues, and contributing to capacity planning efforts.
• Manage and troubleshoot production incidents, ensuring timely resolution and minimizing impact on users.
• Mentor and provide guidance to junior members of the DevOps team, promoting knowledge sharing and skill development.
• Quarterly rotation for AWS SysOps tasks and responsibilities which include system performance monitoring/Tuning, patching, identity management, provide support to our cloud customers etc.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 6+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, system administration, or related roles.
• 5+ years of experience working with AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Azure.
• Familiarity with tools used in the delivery of code, including:
• code version control systems (BitBucket, GitHub),
• packaging (Maven, Docker),
• artifact management (Artifactory and/or Harbor),
• defect/risk code scanning (SonarQube/SonarLint),
• pipelines and automation (Jenkins, GitHub Actions),
• and container orchestration (Fargate, Kubernetes).
• Proven experience designing, implementing, and managing CI/CD pipelines and related tools (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD).
• Strong expertise in AWS cloud services with hands-on experience in infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience with Azure cloud services and the ability to apply Azure solutions alongside AWS offerings.
