Job description

The CoinDCX Journey: Building the Future of Finance:

At CoinDCX, our mission is clear - to make crypto and blockchain accessible to every Indian and enable them to participate in the future of finance.

As India’s first crypto unicorn valued at $2.45B, we are reshaping the financial ecosystem by building safe, transparent, and scalable products that power adoption at scale.

We believe that change starts together. It begins with bold ideas, relentless execution and people who want to build what’s next.

If you’re driven by purpose and thrive in environments where your work defines the next chapter of an industry, you’ll feel right at home here.

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Engineering and DevOps organization. This role is responsible for building and mentoring high-performing engineering teams while driving the strategy, reliability, scalability, security, and automation of our cloud infrastructure and developer platforms.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with people leadership, operational excellence, and strategic thinking to enable engineering teams to deliver software faster, more reliably, and securely.

What You'll Do:

Define and execute the platform engineering roadmap.
Build and evolve Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) and self-service infrastructure.
Standardize infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment patterns.
Drive platform adoption across engineering teams.
Improve developer experience through automation and reusable platform capabilities.
Own cloud infrastructure strategy across AWS cloud.
Ensure infrastructure is scalable, resilient, secure, and cost-efficient.
Lead Kubernetes, container platforms, networking, storage, and compute architecture.
Drive infrastructure modernization initiatives.
Infrastructure Management & Scalability:
Design, deploy, and manage high-availability, low-latency cloud infrastructure on AWS (or GCP/Azure) tailored to the demands of a high-volume crypto trading platform.
Architect and optimize network paths and data flows to achieve ultra low latency – including direct interconnects, proximity to exchange gateways, and optimized caching strategies.
Oversee the management of Kubernetes clusters (EKS or equivalent) and container orchestration to support microservices and real-time trading systems.
Optimize resource utilization and drive cost-effective scaling strategies to support peak trading volumes while maintaining ultra low latency.
CI/CD & Automation:
Lead the development and optimization of CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable deployments of trading platform components, smart contracts, and backend services.
Champion Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm, ensuring reproducibility and automation across environments.
Implement GitOps practices to streamline code-to-deployment cycles and minimize latency introduced by deployment processes.
Ultra Low Latency Systems:
Collaborate with system architects to design infrastructure with an emphasis on reducing end-to-end latency—from API gateways to internal microservices and database layers.
Work on optimizing network configurations, using technologies like AWS Global Accelerator, low-latency load balancers, and custom routing protocols to achieve near real-time data processing.
Ensure that system monitoring includes detailed latency tracking, and drive improvements using techniques such as micro-caching, optimized container orchestration, and hardware acceleration where applicable.
Security & Compliance:
Establish and enforce robust security best practices across the trading platform, including network security, container hardening, and data encryption.
Collaborate with the security team to maintain compliance with regulatory standards relevant to the crypto industry.
Ensure that critical systems, such as trading engines and wallet services, are secured against DDoS, API abuse, and other potential threats.
Monitoring, Incident Response & Reliability:
Develop and maintain end-to-end observability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, and other monitoring tools.
Set up SLOs/SLIs and alerting systems to proactively monitor system performance—including ultra low latency metrics—and respond to incidents, ensuring minimal downtime during critical trading periods.
Lead post-mortem analysis and drive continuous improvement in incident management processes.
Mentor and lead a high-performing team of DevOps engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and accountability.
Work closely with cross-functional teams including engineering, product, and security to align infrastructure strategies with business goals.
Drive best practices for automation, scalability, and reliability across the organization.

You’ll Excel in This Role If You Have:

Technical Expertise:
10+ years of experience in DevOps with proven expertise in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes, and container orchestration.
Extensive experience in CI/CD pipeline design and implementation using tools like Jenkins, ArgoCD, or GitHub actions.

Proven experience designing ultra low latency systems including network optimization, load balancing, and proximity computing.
Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Go for automation tasks.
Experience with high-throughput, low-latency systems and real-time trading platforms.
