Job description

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience in building and operating production-grade infrastructure. This role emphasises automation, reliability, and developer enablement, not manual operations. You will design scalable CI/CD pipelines, manage cloud infrastructure, improve observability, and drive best practices across the engineering organisation.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Infrastructure and Cloud Architecture:

• Design, build, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure.
• Own infrastructure architecture with high availability, security, and cost efficiency.
• Drive infrastructure standardisation and automation.

CI/CD and Developer Productivity:

• Build and maintain fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines.
• Enable safe deployments through automation, rollbacks, and environment isolation.
• Reduce friction for developers through tooling and self-service workflows.

Reliability and Observability:

• Implement and evolve monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
• Define SLOs/SLIs and improve system reliability.
• Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and preventive improvements.

Automation and Infrastructure as Code:

• Automate provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code.
• Eliminate manual operational tasks through scripting and tooling.
• Maintain versioned, reviewable, and auditable infrastructure changes.

Security and Compliance:

• Implement security best practices across infrastructure and CI/CD.
• Manage secrets, access control, and environment isolation.
• Partner with engineering and security teams on compliance requirements.

Collaboration and Leadership:

• Work closely with backend and frontend teams to improve runtime and deployment reliability.
• Mentor engineers on operational best practices.
• Influence platform and reliability standards across teams.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience operating production systems at scale.
• Cloud and Infrastructure: Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or similar).
• CI/CD and Automation: Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar). Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar).
• Observability and Reliability: Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools. Understanding of distributed systems, failure modes, and reliability trade-offs.
• Infrastructure as Code: Experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar IaC tools. Strong Git-based workflows for infrastructure changes.
• Mindset and Communication: Strong ownership and bias for automation. Ability to debug complex production issues calmly and systematically. Clear communication and collaboration skills.
