• Proficiency with Docker and containerized stacks.
• Experience with Supabase or similar database-driven PaaS.
• CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
• Experience deploying to modern platforms such as Vercel, Netlify, or cloud-native PaaS.
• Proficiency in IaC tools (Terraform, Pulumi) and configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef).
• Experience with virtualization platforms (Proxmox, VMware, KVM).
• Scripting experience (Bash, Python, or Go).
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK)
• Strong understanding of Linux system administration, networking, and security.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline builds, testing, and deployments.
• Manage deployments across multiple environments, including cloud-native platforms and hosting services like Vercel.
• Integrate infrastructure automation into pipelines to ensure consistency and reproducibility.
• Collaborate with development teams to optimize deployment workflows and rollback strategies.
• Design, optimize, and secure VM clusters, including provisioning and backups.
• Develop reusable VM templates and automate lifecycle tasks with Ansible or similar tools.
• Monitor, observe, and improve reliability using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stacks.
