DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure + QA)
Company: Synthlane Technologies
Location: Noida (Work From Office)
Website: https://synthlane.com/
Duration: Full Time
Start Date: As soon as possible
Salary range: 4-8 LPA

Synthlane Technologies is a deep-tech company working on cutting-edge cybersecurity and infrastructure problems. We’re building VoiceAI systems that need to run reliably across cloud and on-prem environments, including client networks with strict requirements. Our infrastructure must be fast, secure, scalable, and extremely dependable.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure + QA) who has very high ownership, strong fundamentals, and the maturity to handle real-world infra + release reliability. This is not a “shadow-only” role—this role directly impacts how stable our systems are.

• Help manage and operate production Kubernetes clusters and related platform components.
  

• Work with Terraform to provision and maintain infrastructure (cloud + networking + compute).
  

• Support deployments on cloud providers (AWS/GCP/others) and assist with resource planning and cost-efficiency.
  

• Assist in bare-metal / on-prem deployments for client environments (network constraints, custom setups, security requirements).
  

• Support GPU infrastructure for VoiceAI workloads (provisioning, scheduling basics, scaling, reliability monitoring).
  

• Own small but critical infrastructure tasks end-to-end: implement → test → document → deploy.
  
  

• Work on monitoring and alerting setups using tools like Grafana, PagerDuty (or equivalents).
  

• Help define and validate reliability checks: uptime, error budgets basics, incident hygiene, deployment safety checks.
  

• Investigate incidents, write concise summaries, and propose improvements to avoid repeat failures.
  

• Ensure infrastructure changes are reviewed, traceable, and reproducible (IaC discipline).
  
  

• Read PRDs / user stories and convert them into test scenarios and validation checklists.
  

• Perform manual testing of web flows across basic browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari).
  

• Test REST APIs using Postman / Insomnia / curl and validate responses, errors, and edge cases.
  

• Perform basic database validation using SQL (SELECT, WHERE, JOIN basics).
  

• Track work rigorously using Jira / Linear / ClickUp (clear updates, reproduction steps, acceptance checks).
  
  
  
  

• Very high ownership & reliability — if you say you’ll deliver, you deliver.
  

• Strong problem-solving ability and high-level thinking (can understand systems, not just tasks).
  

• Ability to articulate tasks clearly: what you’re doing, why, risks, and how you’ll validate.
  

• Hands-on experience with:
  

• Kubernetes (production exposure required)
  

• Terraform (production exposure required)
  

• At least one cloud provider: AWS / GCP / Azure / any major cloud
  

• Some understanding of bare-metal / on-prem deployments (labs, internships, part-time, production—anything real).
  

• Scripting skills in Python and/or Bash for automation and tooling.
  

• Good understanding of networking fundamentals: subnets, VPC, VPN, routing basics, security groups/firewalls.
  

• Excellent attention to detail (infra breaks because of “small” misses).
  

• Comfortable with modern dev tooling: Git, and strong working experience with tools like Cursor.
  

• Experience with GPU workloads or ML/AI infra (even basic exposure).
  

• Experience setting up CI/CD pipelines or deployment automation.
  

• Familiarity with security best practices for infra (secrets, IAM, least privilege, auditability).
  

• Strong documentation habits (runbooks, checklists, deployment notes).
  

• Real production infrastructure exposure (not just toy tasks).
  

• Work closely with engineers building real VoiceAI systems and client deployments.
  

• Learn what “high reliability” actually means in production.
  

• Fast-paced, high-impact environment where good work is noticed quickly.
