• Observability and SRE: Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELKand lead incident response and root-cause analysis (RCA).
• Security and Optimisation: Oversee IAM policies, secrets management, and zero-trust concepts while actively optimising cloud spend.
• AI Productivity Integration: Leverage modern AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, LLM scripting) to automate scripts, debug systems, and scale engineering efficiency.

Requirements:

• Experience: ~5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles.
• IaC Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise with Terraform for full infrastructure automation.
• Cloud Expertise: Strong background with GCP (preferred) or AWS.

• Scripting: Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash.
• Product Ownership: Proven ability to drive projects independently from concept through production rollout.
• AI Tooling Comfort: High comfort level using AI-assisted tools/workflows to accelerate scripting and developer tooling.
• Core Engineering: Strong Linux administration, cloud security, and networking fundamentals.

Good to Have:

• Experience in high-scale startup, healthcare, or fintech environments.
• Exposure to multi-cluster Kubernetes, service meshes, or zero-trust architectures.
• Hands-on experience building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) or custom automation tools.
