Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to design, implement, and operate scalable, secure, and resilient cloud infrastructure that supports modern cloud-native applications. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, cloud platforms, observability, and emerging AI-powered DevOps practices.

This role will collaborate closely with Engineering, Security, SRE, and Product teams to build reliable deployment platforms, improve operational efficiency, enhance system reliability, and drive automation across the software delivery lifecycle.

What you will be doing

• Design, implement, and manage secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring optimal performance, disaster recovery, business continuity, and cost efficiency.
• Deploy, manage, and optimize production Kubernetes platforms, including workloads, networking, storage, Helm, autoscaling, and deployment standards while troubleshooting infrastructure and application issues.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and automate infrastructure provisioning and operational workflows using Python or Bash across multiple environments.
• Design, build, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions, implementing automated testing, security scanning, and modern deployment strategies such as rolling, blue-green, and canary releases.
• Implement end-to-end observability and reliability using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/OpenSearch, and Loki, while defining SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and capacity planning.
• Drive DevSecOps by implementing IAM, RBAC, vulnerability management, container security, secrets management, SSL/TLS, and infrastructure compliance best practices.
• Leverage AI and LLM technologies to automate infrastructure management, generate deployment artifacts, enhance CI/CD workflows, and improve developer productivity.
• Develop AI-powered operational capabilities for incident response, root cause analysis, anomaly detection, predictive scaling, and cloud cost optimization while evaluating emerging AI technologies.
