This This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and operations, with a strong focus on automation, resilience, and cost efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

A. Infrastructure Automation & Cloud Operations

• Design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure across cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and on-prem environments.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent.
• Manage Kubernetes clusters, container orchestration, and node-level optimizations.
• Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness.

B. CI/CD & Release Engineering

• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for backend, frontend, and AI workloads.
• Automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment processes.
• Implement safe deployment strategies such as blue-green, canary, and rolling releases.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve release velocity without compromising stability.

C. Observability, Reliability & Incident Management

• Build and maintain observability stacks for metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.).
• Define SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs for critical services.
• Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.
• Proactively identify and resolve reliability and performance bottlenecks.

D. Security, Compliance & Governance

• Implement security best practices across infrastructure, CI/CD, and runtime environments.
• Manage secrets, access controls, and identity management securely.
• Support compliance requirements such as SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and India DPDP Act.
• Collaborate with security and compliance teams on audits and risk mitigation.
• Monitor and optimize infrastructure costs across compute, storage, networking, and AI workloads.
• Implement auto-scaling, resource quotas, and cost-aware scheduling.
• Provide visibility into infra usage and cost drivers for leadership and product teams.

F. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Enablement

• Work closely with backend, frontend, AI/ML, and MLOps teams to support production workloads.
• Create reusable infrastructure templates and DevOps best practices.
• Mentor junior DevOps or platform engineers through reviews and guidance.
• Act as a technical advisor on scalability, reliability, and deployment strategies.

Qualifications Criteria:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8 plus years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles.
• Proven experience operating production systems with real uptime and SLA commitments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container ecosystems.
• Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proficiency in Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or similar tooling.
• Experience with Git-based CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Argo CD).
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and tracing stacks.
• Knowledge of networking, load balancing, and CDN architectures.
• Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or equivalent).
• Experience in SaaS, cloud platforms, or AI infrastructure environments is a major plus.
