Job description

Solution Engineer

Location: Gurugram, India

Skeps, a blockchain-based tech company, offers the first microservices platform embedding financial solutions into customer journeys. Our innovative multi‑lender POS financing solution simplifies lending for high‑value purchases, integrating seamlessly into merchant websites, stores, and omnichannel checkouts, reducing purchase friction and boosting lifetime value.

We are looking for a Solution Engineer (Infrastructure SDE3) to design, automate, and operate secure, scalable cloud infrastructure on Azure and/or AWS. The role will coordinate production releases, own platform reliability, and lead deep‑dive troubleshooting—using Python and modern DevOps tooling to reduce toil and improve time‑to‑recovery.

Responsibilities

• Release & Environment Management: coordinate production deployments across environments; maintain CI/CD pipelines, versioning, and tested rollback paths; ensure clean promotion flows and audit‑ready release notes.
• Cloud Infrastructure Ownership: design, implement, and maintain resilient networks and services (VNet/VPC, subnets, VPN/peering/gateways, load balancers, storage, IAM, secrets/keys); right‑size and harden resources for security, cost, and performance.
• Automation & Observability: automate routine ops with Python and Bash (provisioning, health checks, drift detection, runbooks); improve metrics, logs, and traces and build actionable dashboards and alerts.
• Container & Build Tooling: manage Docker images/registries, supply‑chain basics; administer build systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and enforce branch/release strategies in Git.
• Incident Response & RCA: triage infra, networking, and deployment issues; perform root‑cause analysis; implement preventive fixes that reduce MTTR and alert noise; keep stakeholders informed.
• Documentation & Enablement: maintain up‑to‑date runbooks, architecture diagrams, and how‑to guides; mentor engineers on platform usage and best practices.

Qualifications

• Strong Python (3.x) for infra/ops automation; solid Bash on Linux.
• Hands‑on with Azure and/or AWS core services: networking (VNet/VPC, VPN, gateways), storage, compute, IAM/roles, secrets management, load balancing.
• CI/CD expertise (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps): pipeline design, artifact/version management, automated rollbacks, and environment promotions.
• Containers (Docker): image hardening, registry workflows, basic runtime troubleshooting.
• Git proficiency: branching strategies, code review workflows, release tagging.
• Observability: metrics, logs, and alerting (CloudWatch, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar).
• Proven incident management experience: on‑call participation, RCA writing, and stakeholder communication.

Nice to Have

• Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) fundamentals.
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation) and policy‑as‑code (OPA, Azure Policy).
• Security/compliance awareness (least privilege, key rotation, CIS benchmarks), and cost optimization.
• RDBMS basics (MySQL, PostgreSQL) for operational tasks and performance triage.

What Success Looks Like

• Reliable, repeatable releases with tested rollback paths.
• Measurable reduction in manual ops through Python‑driven automation.
• Improved platform resilience and lower MTTR with clear RCAs and durable fixes.
• Right‑sized, well‑documented cloud infrastructure aligned with security and cost goals.

Experience: ~3‑5+ years in Infra/Development.
