About the Role – Senior DevOps Engineer:

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure, deployment processes, and system reliability. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll lead Kubernetes operations, manage CI/CD pipelines, and drive automation across environments.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to enable fast, secure, and scalable delivery. From Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to observability using Prometheus and Grafana, you’ll help shape and scale the systems that power our platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and manage scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred).
• Lead end-to-end Kubernetes operations: provisioning, scaling, upgrades, storage, and production troubleshooting.
• Architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps and ArgoCD.
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Drive observability through monitoring, logging, and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, and related tools.
• Automate operational tasks such as scaling, failovers, disaster recovery, and security patching.
• Develop and manage Helm charts and Kubernetes Operators for standardized, secure deployments.
• Enforce Kubernetes best practices, including RBAC, Pod Security Policies / OPA / Gatekeeper and resource management.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and postmortem processes.
• Collaborate closely with Development, QA, and Product teams to enhance system reliability and delivery speed.
• Contribute to DevOps documentation, internal knowledge base, and architectural best practices.
• Continuously improve cloud security posture and drive cost optimization initiatives.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5–9 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering role.
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes (AKS preferred), including scaling, networking, persistent volumes, and upgrades.
• Proven experience managing cloud infrastructure and services (Azure preferred).
• Strong expertise with Docker, Linux, Helm, and scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python, PowerShell).
• Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD).
• Well-versed in monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor.
• Solid understanding of cloud-native security, identity management, and compliance practices.
• Strong communication, cross-team collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Istio or other service meshes.
• Exposure to security tools and practices (e.g., Azure Defender, policy as code, vulnerability scanners).
• Relevant certifications such as CKAD, CKA, or Azure Solutions Architect are a plus.
• Experience with cost optimization and observability at scale.
