Job summary

Keka Technologies Private Limited is seeking an experienced DevOps/SRE to design, implement, and secure infrastructure across VM management, IaC, containers, and cloud deployments.

You will own CI/CD pipelines, automate backups and migrations, and optimize PostgreSQL performance while building observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stacks.

The role uses Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, Docker, and cloud-native PaaS, with a focus on security, rollback strategies, and disaster recovery.

Qualifications

• 3 – 7 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with PostgreSQL administration in production environments.
• 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.

Job description

1. VM Management and Optimization

• Manage and optimize ProMax-based VM clusters, including provisioning, backup strategies, and resource allocation.
• Develop reusable VM templates with preconfigured environments to standardize deployments.
• Automate VM lifecycle tasks (creation, patching, cleanup) using Ansible or similar tools.
• Implement user and access controls to ensure secure, auditable environments.

2. Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Implement IaC practices (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) to standardize infrastructure provisioning.
• Use Ansible/automation frameworks to script recurring workflows like backups, log rotation, and database initialization.
• Maintain a library of reusable scripts and playbooks to improve operational efficiency.

3. Containerization & Application Platform

• Design, deploy, and maintain services using Docker and Docker Compose.
• Manage containerized stacks (including Supabase-like platforms) for consistency and scalability.
• Optimize resource utilization, lifecycle management, and monitoring across multi-node container deployments.
• Install, configure, and maintain PostgreSQL databases across multiple environments.
• Plan and execute migrations, including splitting workloads into dedicated clusters.
• Implement HA, replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
• Apply best practices for database performance, tuning, and security.
• Establish a structured migration/versioning system for schema management.

4. CI/CD & Deployment

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline builds, testing, and deployments.
• Manage deployments across multiple environments, including cloud-native platforms and modern 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.

5. Monitoring, Observability & Reliability

• Deploy and manage monitoring solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK) for systems and applications.
• Build dashboards, alerts, and usage reports to track performance, reliability, and API consumption.
• Drive incident response processes, including root-cause analysis and post-mortems.

6. Scalability & Security

• Implement scaling strategies for APIs and backend services (load balancing, caching, auto scaling).
• Enforce strong security practices for infrastructure, databases, and deployments.
• Continuously evaluate tools and frameworks to improve system efficiency and resilience.

7. Qualifications

• 3 – 7 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure roles.
• Strong hands‑on experience with PostgreSQL administration in production environments.
• Proficiency with Docker/Docker Compose and containerized application stacks.
• Experience with Supabase or similar database‑driven PaaS.
• Skilled in CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
• 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, or similar).
• Solid scripting/programming skills (Bash, Python, or Go). Familiarity with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK).
• Strong understanding of Linux system administration, networking, and security.

Nice-to-Have Skills
