• Implement and operate containerized workloads using Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm, following deployment and configuration best practices.
• Manage service‑to‑service communication and traffic using Istio, Kubernetes Gateway API, kgateway, Envoy‑based gateways, or similar technologies.
• Build and maintain centralized observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Cortex, and related monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing tools.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across Kubernetes, Linux, networking, DNS, HTTP/TLS, service mesh, load balancers, databases, and distributed microservices.
• Support and operate data platforms such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, RDS, ScyllaDB, ClickHouse, and Redis, including backup, replication, monitoring, and performance troubleshooting.
• Drive platform reliability and operational excellence through incident management, root cause analysis, automation, capacity planning, cost optimization, and continuous improvement.
• Adopt AI and AIOps capabilities in DevOps workflows for troubleshooting, log analysis, alert correlation, automation, incident analysis, documentation, and engineering productivity.

Required Skills

• 5-6years of hands‑on experience in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles.
• Strong knowledge of AWS services including EKS, EC2, VPC, ALB/NLB, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM, S3, RDS, KMS, Secrets Manager, and security services.
• Strong experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, and Jenkins.
