About The Role

The role is responsible for the reliability, scalability, and performance of large-scale distributed infrastructure. The team focuses on building automated platform tooling that eliminates manual intervention, handles traffic spikes gracefully, and maintains high availability across multi-region cloud deployments.

This position bridges the gap between software development and systems engineering. The ideal engineer treats infrastructure as a software problem, designing resilient architectures and proactive monitoring systems that prevent outages before they affect customers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, provision, and maintain secure and scalable cloud infrastructure using Terraform and AWS services (EKS, RDS, S3, IAM)
  • Build and optimize Kubernetes cluster configurations, managing container orchestration, service meshes, and ingress controllers
  • Develop and maintain robust CI/CD deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI to ensure zero-downtime deployments
  • Implement comprehensive observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog to monitor application latency, error rates, and system saturation
  • Participate in a shared on-call rotation, conducting blameless post-mortems and developing permanent mitigation steps for production incidents
  • Automate routine operational tasks by writing clean, maintainable tools and scripts in Go or Python

What We Are Looking For

  • 3–7 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or systems engineering roles supporting high-traffic, production cloud environments
  • Strong proficiency with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, specifically Terraform, and container orchestration with Kubernetes
  • Proficient in at least one software development language, preferably Python or Go, for automation and systems tooling
  • Deep understanding of Linux networking, TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP load balancing protocols
  • Experience configuring and utilizing modern observability and APM suites (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or Jaeger)
  • Bonus: Experience managing database scaling (PostgreSQL/MySQL), Kafka clustering, or holding AWS/CKS certifications
