• Provision and manage Linux-based servers, virtual machines, and bare-metal systems.
• Configure and manage network components including VPCs, subnets, routing, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and network switches (on-prem).
• Lead setup and maintenance of PostgreSQL databases, including backups, replication, performance tuning, and high availability.

Containerization & Orchestration

• Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS and/or self-managed).
• Build and maintain Docker-based container workflows.
• Manage Kubernetes workloads, namespaces, ingress, secrets, auto scaling, and rolling deployments.
• Establish best practices for container security, image scanning, and runtime hardening.

CI/CD & Automation

• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure code.
• Orchestrate automated builds, tests, deployments, and rollbacks.
• Write and maintain automation scripts using Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages.

Monitoring, Reliability & Operations

• Implement system monitoring, logging, and alerting for infrastructure and applications.
• Define and track SLIs/SLOs and lead incident response and root cause analysis.
• Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness.
• Lead operational run books and on-call best practices.

Security & Compliance

• Implement infrastructure and platform security best practices.
• Manage IAM, secrets, encryption, network security, and access controls.
• Support vulnerability management, patching, and audit readiness.
• Collaborate with security teams to align with compliance and governance requirements.

Cost Optimization & Performance

• Monitor and optimize AWS cloud spend using cost visibility and reporting tools.
• Identify opportunities for rightsizing, reserved instances, auto scaling, and storage optimization.
• Track on-prem infrastructure utilization and capacity planning.
• Balance performance, reliability, and cost trade-offs.
• Act as a technical lead and mentor for DevOps engineers.
• Define DevOps standards, best practices, and documentation.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve developer experience and deployment velocity.
• Participate in architecture discussions and infrastructure roadmap planning.
