ROLE

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to own and continuously improve Propel's software delivery lifecycle—from build and deployment through production releases, application health, observability, and L2 production support.
This is not a traditional infrastructure-focused DevOps role. The engineer will work closely with the development team and be an integral part of the engineering delivery process.
The role combines DevOps engineering, CI/CD automation, application observability, release management, security guardrails, and AI-assisted engineering.
The ideal candidate is a hands‑on engineer who enjoys solving operational problems, building automation and engineering tools, improving delivery workflows, and understanding how applications behave in production.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This is an in-office position located in Trivandrum, requiring attendance 4+ days per week. By submitting your application, you confirm that you are either presently located in Trivandrum or prepared to relocate. Relocation assistance is not provided for this role.

Responsibilities

• Own and optimize end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, builds, and deployments across application packages and services.
• Develop automation scripts and internal engineering tools to reduce manual dependencies for developers.
• Leverage modern AI-assisted engineering tools for troubleshooting, automation, scripting, and operational efficiency.
• Monitor application health, availability, and performance across production services.
• Establish robust observability (logs, metrics, alerts, health checks) to detect and resolve production issues early.
• Plan, coordinate, and execute scheduled production releases, patch releases, and Heroku deployments.
• Manage release risks, post-release validation, rollback/recovery procedures, and participate in release support.
• Integrate automated security scanning and vulnerability detection within delivery pipelines.
• Apply OWASP standards and establish security guardrails to ensure safe, compliant software releases.

Requirements

• 8–10 years of DevOps, CI/CD, and software delivery experience in AWS cloud environments.
• Strong background in build, deployment, release automation, and production application support.
• Proven troubleshooting skills with the ability to debug backend code and resolve complex technical issues.
• Expertise in application logging, monitoring, and observability.
• Proficiency in CI/CD pipeline security, vulnerability scanning, and applying OWASP standards.
• Strong scripting and automation capabilities to build tooling, workflows, and process improvements.
• Familiarity with Git workflows and modern AI-assisted engineering tools.
• Hands‑on experience with OAuth 2.0 or modern authentication/authorization mechanisms.
• Strong ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and communication skills.

Not required, but nice to have experience

• Hands‑on experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Strong background in application observability, performance monitoring, backend engineering (Python, Java, Node.js), and database troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum practices, release management, AWS certification, and building/deploying AI-assisted workflows.

Authorization to work in India is required; please note that at this time, Propel is not sponsoring visas for any positions.
