Depending on your experience level and technical alignment, you will contribute across one or more of the following core domains:

Platform Reliability & SRE:Operate high-availability microservices and cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes (EKS, OpenShift), AWS cloud services, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation). Apply SRE principles, define SLOs/SLIs, and lead incident response/RCA.

CI/CD & Automation:Architect, maintain, and enhance automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and GitOps tooling (Argo CD, Flux)using Pipeline-as-Code, quality gates, and automated security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA).

Observability & Operational Governance:Implement end-to-end monitoring, logging, and alerting using Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and ELK. Participate in on-call rotations to maintain platform stability and meet SLAs.

Telco Provisioning & Charging Systems:Support, troubleshoot, and optimize mission-critical telco customer flows across CRM, Order Management, Provisioning, Charging, Billing, and Network Activation (IN/OCS, PCRF/PCF, HLR/HSS/UDM).

Identity & Access Management (IAM):Administer enterprise IAM, SSO, and authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, LDAP, RBAC, Symantec SiteMinder/Directory), supporting security compliance and audits.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship (Lead/Senior Levels):Drive DevOps strategy, lead architectural design reviews, govern deployment controls, coordinate with cross-functional vendors/stakeholders, and mentor junior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

Education:Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Telecommunications, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Experience Requirements by Level:

SeniorEngineer:3-4+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, software engineering, cloud ops, or IAM support.

Lead Engineer:6+ years of total experience, including at least 2-3 years in a senior or technical leadership capacity.

Hands-on exposure to CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Maven/Gradle) and Git version control.

Good SQL skills (PostgreSQL or equivalent) and experience with API integrations (REST/SOAP).

Proven experience working within Agile/Scrum methodologies and ITSM frameworks (Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow).

Preferred Experience & Key Differentiators

Candidates matching one or more of these specialized areas are highly encouraged to apply

Microservices Development:Java and Spring Boot expertise, Apache Camel (EIPs), and distributed event architecture (Kafka, Red Hat AMQ).

Platform Engineering & GitOps:Advanced multi-cluster Kubernetes administration (EKS/OpenShift), Helm charts, Argo CD, or Flux.

Security & IAM:In-depth knowledge of identity lifecycles, enterprise SSO implementations, and security compliance.
