About The Role
The role owns the infrastructure that keeps production systems running at scale - Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and the observability stack that surfaces problems before customers notice them. You will work closely with backend engineering teams to make deployments faster, incidents rarer, and on-call quieter. This is a hands‑on role: expect to spend real time in clusters, pipelines, and incident channels, not just meetings about them.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes‑based infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, ensuring environments are reproducible, cost‑efficient, and reliably provisioned
- Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and ArgoCD, reducing deploy times and enabling safe, frequent releases with automated rollbacks
- Build and maintain observability tooling - Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and PagerDuty - with actionable alerts tied to SLOs rather than noise
- Lead incident response for production outages, drive blameless postmortems, and follow through on corrective actions until resolved
- Implement infrastructure-as-code standards, policy-as-code guardrails, and automated security scanning across the deployment pipeline
- Partner with engineering teams on capacity planning, performance tuning, and load testing for services serving millions of requests daily
- Automate away manual toil: write tooling in Python or Go that eliminates recurring operational work across the team
What We Are Looking For
- 3-6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, running production systems at meaningful scale
- Deep hands‑on expertise with Kubernetes - cluster operations, Helm, networking, autoscaling, and debugging workloads in production
- Strong infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform; comfort managing multi‑account AWS environments (EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3)
- Production experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or similar) and GitOps workflows
- Solid scripting/programming ability in Python, Go, or Bash - enough to build real tooling, not just glue scripts
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Bonus: experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), multi‑region architectures, cost optimization/FinOps, or on‑call leadership in a 24/7 environment
