The role

Own, design, and evolve our production cloud platform (AWS), Kubernetes, and IaC (Terraform) so teams ship reliably, safely, and fast.

What You’ll Do

• Architect, build, and run resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure; drive AWS Well-Architected pillars (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability).
• Champion GitOps (e.g., Argo CD): declarative configs, PR-driven changes, continuous reconciliation.
• Implement and evolve CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Argo CD), secrets management, policy-as-code, and environment promotion.
• Build first-class observability (OpenTelemetry + Prometheus) across apps and infra.
• Partner with internal and external teams (engineers, data, vendors, customers) to deliver platform capabilities and service.
• Lead/mentor engineers; drive Terraform standards, modules, and reviews.
• Optimize cost and efficiency (FinOps) while maintaining reliability.
• Define SLOs/SLIs and error budgets; lead incident readiness, response, and post-mortems.
  
  

Requirements:

What You Bring (must-haves)

• 5+ years hands-on DevOps/SRE in large-scale production.
• Deep production experience: AWS (or major public cloud), Kubernetes, Terraform.
• Proven ownership: design → implement → release → operate → improve (independent and team-based).
• Excellent communication; comfortable collaborating with external stakeholders.
  
  

Nice to have

• Linux, networking (DNS/HTTP/TCP/IP), and security fundamentals.
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Argo CD; service mesh; policy-as-code.
• Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana.
• SRE practices (SLOs/error budgets); experience improving DORA-style outcomes.
• FinOps experience; Python/Node.js; DynamoDB/MongoDB/OpenSearch.
