Summary

Role Overview

The CloudOps Engineer (Automation) is responsible for the design, deployment, and operational management of our cloud infrastructure. Unlike traditional operations roles, this position prioritizes automation-first methodologies. You will eliminate manual toil by building scalable, self-healing systems and robust CI/CD pipelines to support rapid software delivery.

 

Key Responsibilities

1. Infrastructure & Automation

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and maintain multi-tier infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep.
  • CI/CD Management: Design and optimize automated deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) to ensure "zero-touch" deployments.
  • Configuration Management: Utilize tools like Ansible or Chef to manage OS-level configurations and application state.

2. Cloud Operations & Scalability

  • Container Orchestration: Manage and scale production workloads using Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) and Docker.
  • Performance Tuning: Monitor system performance and automate scaling policies to handle fluctuating traffic patterns.
  • Cost Governance: Implement automated reporting and resource scheduling to optimize cloud spend.

3. Reliability & Security

  • Observability: Build comprehensive dashboards and alerting systems using Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
  • Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotations and lead "Post-Mortem" analyses to turn manual fixes into automated remediations.

DevSecOps: Integrate automated security scanning (SAST/DAST) and IAM guardrails into the infrastructure lifecycle
