The position blends hands-on engineering with operational excellence, requiring someone who thrives in fast-moving, distributed systems environments. You will play a key role in improving system reliability, performance, and observability while supporting continuous delivery practices. The environment is collaborative and cross-functional, with strong emphasis on automation, security, and scalability. This is an opportunity to shape modern DevOps practices across enterprise-grade cloud platforms.

• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines supporting large-scale applications, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance across production systems.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to build, deploy, and optimize CI/CD workflows using tools such as Jenkins or similar, while driving continuous integration and delivery best practices.
• Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code and automation solutions using tools such as CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet to ensure consistent and repeatable environments.
• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and telemetry systems using tools like Datadog or Sumo Logic to improve system observability and incident response.
• Support cloud security initiatives by enforcing best practices, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring compliance across AWS-based environments and distributed systems.
• Troubleshoot production issues across applications and infrastructure, working closely with cross-functional teams to resolve incidents and improve system resilience.
• Design and optimize containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes to support scalable and efficient deployments.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles supporting production-grade systems in enterprise environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, and related cloud infrastructure components.
• Solid background in Linux and Windows environments, with experience supporting Java and .NET-based applications at scale.
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or Bamboo, along with strong knowledge of Git and modern software delivery workflows.
• Experience with infrastructure automation tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or CloudFormation) and scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Strong understanding of containerization and orchestration technologies including Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Knowledge of monitoring, alerting, and APM tools such as Datadog, Sumo Logic, or similar platforms.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional and agile teams.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package aligned with experience and market standards.
• Remote-first work environment with flexibility in daily working arrangements.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and wellness coverage (varies by employer policy).
• Opportunity to work on large-scale cloud systems and modern DevOps architectures.
• Continuous learning and exposure to cutting-edge cloud, automation, and container technologies.
• Collaborative, global team environment with strong engineering culture.
• Career growth opportunities within a fast-evolving technical landscape.
