• Build, maintain, and refactor CI/CD pipelines to accelerate feature delivery, minimize risk, and reduce technical debt
• Configure and manage observability tools, dashboards, and proactive alerting to detect and resolve issues

• Design, provision, and maintain core cloud network topologies and troubleshoot connectivity across multi-environment setups
• Enhance secrets management, access controls, and audit IAM roles/policies for least-privilege access in collaboration with security engineers
• Improve visibility into cloud resource utilization and cost to support budget-aware engineering decisions

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Core Technical Experience: 3-5 years of professional engineering experience in DevOps or Cloud Engineering, with a track record of identifying automation gaps, recommending IaC improvements, and troubleshooting multi-environment or hybrid setups.
• Cloud Infrastructure & IaC: Proficiency in modern IaC and orchestration tools (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible, CloudFormation), with experience managing core cloud network topologies.
• CI/CD & Automation Proficiency: Solid experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD) and strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash) for automating routine tasks and reducing manual toil.
• Observability & Reliability: Hands-on experience with industry-standard observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, Datadog, Grafana) to develop proactive alerts, metrics, and dashboards.
• Security & Compliance: Experience managing secrets and access using tools like AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, or SSM, with a strong understanding of cloud IAM roles and least-privilege enforcement.
• Technical Communication & Collaboration: Clear communication of infrastructure requirements, risks, and opportunities, with a proven ability to partner effectively with developers and IT to support secure, reliable delivery pipelines.
