• Conduct code reviews for infrastructure and automation scripts, providing constructive feedback to maintain high standards of reliability, security, and maintainability.
• Oversee observability systems and ensure actionable insights for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Thanos).
• Collaborate with engineering, SRE, and security teams to ensure platform reliability, compliance, and alignment with organizational goals.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve operational workflows, reduce toil, and raise engineering standards across the team.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks for internal tools and infrastructure components.

Must Have

• A minimum of 7 years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or Systems Engineering roles, including 2+ years in a leadership position.
• Proven ability to coach and mentor engineers, fostering growth, engagement, and technical excellence.
• Strong expertise in CI/CD pipeline design and optimization, including deployment safety and automation best practices.
• Experience improving developer experience through internal tooling and workflow enhancements.
• Proficiency in infrastructure as code (Terraform) and configuration management (Ansible).
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Thanos) and performance monitoring principles.
• Hands‑on experience with GitOps workflows and tools (Argo CD, Crossplane).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, analytical thinking, and ability to lead during incidents.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across engineering, security, and product teams.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to multi-region or multi-cloud environments and resilience testing practices.
• Knowledge of FinOps principles and cloud cost optimization frameworks.
• Familiarity with compliance and governance standards (ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-53).
• Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKA/CKAD, or Terraform Associate.
