Job description

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated DevOps Architect to lead enterprise‑scale cloud transformation and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) initiatives. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in multi‑cloud environments, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD automation, DevSecOps, observability, and cloud cost optimization (FinOps). This role requires strong technical leadership, hands‑on architecture experience, and collaboration across engineering, security, and operations teams to modernize legacy systems and drive operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead cloud‑native DevOps and SRE initiatives across AWS (primary), Azure, and GCP environments.
• Design, implement, and manage secure, scalable, highly available, and resilient infrastructure solutions for mission‑critical enterprise applications.
• Architect and automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, and Pulumi to support consistent and repeatable deployments across multiple environments.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and ArgoCD to enable fast, reliable, and low‑risk software releases.
• Drive DevSecOps initiatives by integrating security controls, vulnerability scanning, policy‑as‑code, IAM, and compliance automation into deployment pipelines.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and frameworks including SOC2, PCI‑DSS, and ISO standards.
• Implement observability and monitoring solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog, Dynatrace, BigPanda, and PagerDuty.
• Improve system reliability, uptime, incident response, and MTTR through proactive monitoring, AIOps, and automation strategies.
• Promote GitOps culture and best practices for infrastructure and application delivery.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including development, infrastructure, security, and operations to modernize legacy platforms and streamline deployment processes.
• Support cloud cost optimization and FinOps initiatives by analyzing infrastructure utilization and implementing cost‑efficient solutions.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership on DevOps architecture, automation, and operational best practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 8–10+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, SRE, or Infrastructure Architecture roles.
• Strong hands‑on experience with AWS cloud services; exposure to Azure and GCP preferred.
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Pulumi).
• Strong experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Proven experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and ArgoCD.
• Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles, security automation, and compliance frameworks.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability platforms including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, Dynatrace, and PagerDuty.
• Experience implementing GitOps methodologies and automation frameworks.
• Strong scripting/programming skills using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, communication, and leadership skills.
