Qualifications

• 5+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering role.
• Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — compute, networking, identity management, queuing, monitoring, storage, and databases (we use AWS primarily)
• Container orchestration in production — cluster operations, package management, debugging, resource management (we use Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure‑as‑Code at scale — writing, reviewing, and managing IaC with proper state management and modularization (we use Terraform)
• CI/CD pipeline design — deployment automation, testing integration, and deployment strategies (blue‑green, canary)
• Linux systems administration — comfortable debugging at the OS level
• Monitoring and observability — setting up alerting, dashboards, log aggregation, and incident response
• Security mindset — experience with access control best practices, network security, secrets management
• Strong communication — able to explain infrastructure decisions to non‑infra engineers
• Reliable internet and hardware, able to work ≥40h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)

Responsibilities

• Own and operate cloud infrastructure — compute, networking, identity, and security controls — using Infrastructure-as-Code
• Manage container orchestration workloads, including cluster upgrades, deployment management, and autoscaling
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines — automated testing, deployment automation, and quality gates
• Drive observability — implement and improve monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing across all services
• Harden security posture — cloud security posture management, automated scanning in CI, access policies, network security, and contributing toward industry security certifications
• Manage multi-cloud infrastructure — we run workloads across multiple cloud providers
• Operate messaging infrastructure — event‑driven architectures, including retry strategies and dead‑letter queue management
• Standardize market launches — build repeatable infrastructure provisioning so new markets can go live in days, not weeks
• Support the engineering team — be the go‑to person for infrastructure questions, unblock developers, and create self‑service tooling
• Participate in on‑call rotation — respond to production incidents and drive root‑cause analysis and prevention
