  • Collaborate with engineering, security, and product teams to streamline delivery
  • Own incident management, root cause analysis, and postmortems
  • Enforce DevSecOps best practices across the development lifecycle
  • Mentor engineers and establish DevOps standards and governance

Required Skills & Expertise

  • 12+ years of experience in DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure Engineering
  • Deep expertise in cloud platforms: AWS / Azure / Google Cloud Platform (multi-cloud is a strong plus)
  • Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
  • Solid experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or Go)
  • Experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of networking, security, and system architecture
  • Experience in high-scale production environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience implementing SRE practices (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets)
  • Exposure to DevSecOps and security automation
  • Hands-on with microservices and distributed systems
  • Knowledge of cost optimization and cloud governance
  • Certifications in AWS / Azure / Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD)
