About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on and driven DevOps Engineer to help scale and secure our Kubernetes-based production platform.

Nearly all our applications run on Kubernetes (primarily managed on-premises Kubernetes platform and Amazon EKS). This role is central to ensuring system reliability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement across our cloud-native environment.

You will work closely with Engineering and Operations teams to operate production workloads, improve automation, strengthen security practices, and enhance our CI/CD pipelines. If you enjoy owning systems end-to-end and working on real production infrastructure, this role is for you.

Your Role

• Operate and maintain production workloads running on Kubernetes (managed on-prem clusters and Amazon EKS)
• Deploy, upgrade, and manage applications using Helm or similar package management tools
• Troubleshoot cluster-level and workload-level issues (networking, storage, scaling, resource constraints)
• Implement and maintain Kubernetes best practices for security, RBAC, and namespace isolation
• Optimize resource utilization and autoscaling configurations
• Support and manage AWS infrastructure (EKS, EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, networking, security groups)
• Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation
• Participate in infrastructure design reviews and capacity planning

System Reliability, Security & Production Support

• Maintain high availability and performance across production environments
• Participate in a structured on-call rotation to support production systems
• Respond to incidents, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and drive preventive improvements
• Contribute to post-incident reviews focused on learning and long-term resilience
• Continuously monitor and remediate infrastructure, container image, and dependency vulnerabilities
• Ensure timely upgrades of base images, Helm charts, system packages, and third-party libraries
• Collaborate with development teams to resolve security findings (e.g., CVEs) in code repositories
• Strengthen infrastructure and container security posture across all environments
• Maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines supporting containerized deployments
• Automate builds, testing, and Kubernetes-based deployments
• Improve release processes to minimize downtime and deployment risk
• Use tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Ansible to reduce manual operational tasks
• Promote DevOps and cloud-native best practices across teams.

Your Qualifications

• At least 2 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Systems Engineering
• Hands-on experience managing production workloads in Kubernetes
• Experience with Amazon EKS
• Experience deploying applications using Helm (or similar tooling)
• Experience with containerization (Docker)
• Experience with vulnerability scanning and remediation workflows
• Experience with Bash and/or Python scripting
• Strong troubleshooting skills and operational mindset
• Willingness to participate in a structured on-call rotation

Plus points if you have:

• Experience implementing autoscaling strategies (HPA, cluster autoscaler)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Graylog)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking concepts (Ingress, Services, CNI)
• Experience supporting production systems with monitoring and alerting
• Cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or equivalent)
