Automation & Infrastructure

• Automate monitoring and alerting configuration through Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform).
• Integrate monitoring pipelines into CI/CD workflows to ensure continuous visibility during deployments.
• Maintain and optimize monitoring infrastructure for performance and cost efficiency.
• Support incident management processes by providing accurate telemetry and actionable insights.
• Develop and document runbooks and playbooks to standardize issue resolution.
• Participate in on-call rotations and post-incident reviews to improve observability coverage.
• Work with developers to define metrics, logs, and traces for new services.
• Continuously assess and improve monitoring frameworks to align with evolving business and technical needs.
• Provide training and documentation for internal teams on using dashboards and interpreting metrics.

Requirements:

• Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Cloud Infrastructure, or related roles.
• Strong experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including managing and supporting production environments.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, preferably Terraform, including creating and maintaining reusable infrastructure modules.
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar platforms.
• Proven experience with containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, ELK Stack, Datadog, or CloudWatch.
• Strong understanding of Linux administration, networking fundamentals, and cloud infrastructure best practices.
• Knowledge of logging, monitoring, metrics collection, tracing, and incident troubleshooting within modern observability platforms.
• Experience supporting highly available, scalable, and secure cloud-based environments.
• Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, or Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) will be an added advantage.
