• Assist in CI / CD pipeline development and maintenance (GitLab CI / Jenkins / GitHub Actions / AWS Code Pipeline).
• Contribute to observability efforts including metrics, logs, traces, and alerting systems.
• Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews; help reduce MTTR through automation.
• Automate operational tasks using TypeScript and scripting languages; codify ops playbooks.
• Help implement security controls including secrets management, network segmentation, and firewall policies.
• Collaborate on cost optimization strategies and performance tuning.

• Experience with CloudFormation and AWS CDK; solid Linux fundamentals and shell scripting.
• CI / CD pipeline exposure (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Code Pipeline).
• Containers and orchestration (Docker, EKS / ECS); understanding of progressive delivery.
• Proficiency in TypeScript for automation.
• Solid understanding of networking and security (VPCs, routing, security groups, firewalls).
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.
• AWS certification preferred (e.g., AWS DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect).

Preferred qualifications

• GitOps (Argo CD / Flux) and service mesh fundamentals; APM / RUM (Dynatrace / New Relic).
• Operating Kafka and MongoDB in production; experience with microservices & distributed systems.
• Experience in regulated environments (financial services), with audit and control practices.
• PagerDuty administration and on-call program exposure; cost governance / FinOps familiarity.
• Proficiency in Python (or Bash / Go) for automation.
• Familiarity with observability stacks (CloudWatch, Prometheus / Grafana, Splunk / ELK, Datadog) and alerting practices.
