DevOps Engineer - Python

Mandatory Technical Skills

• AWS (Amazon Web Services) - Deep hands-on experience with core AWS services (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda, etc.)
• Python - Strong scripting and automation skills
• Kubernetes - Experience managing large-scale, production-grade clusters
• Docker - Containerization of microservices and workload orchestration
• Terraform - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for AWS provisioning and environment consistency
• Prometheus & Grafana - Monitoring and dashboarding for real-time observability and alerting
  

Resilience & Reliability Engineering Requirements

Fault Tolerance :

• Design systems to continue functioning even when individual components fail
• Implement redundant servers, fallback mechanisms, and health checks
  

Graceful Degradation

• Architect applications to reduce performance or limit features during service disruptions rather than fail completely
  

Auto-Recovery & Self-Healing Systems

• Enable auto-scaling, self-restarting pods, health-aware load balancing
• Configure automated failover and rehydration of services
  

Redundancy

• Deploy multi-region and multi-AZ architectures
• Implement backup, replication, and automated failover strategies
  

Monitoring & Alerting

• Implement end-to-end observability pipelines with Prometheus, Grafana, and alert managers
• Build proactive alerting and SLO/SLI dashboards for key infrastructure components
  

Chaos Engineering

• Simulate real-world failures (network, instance crash, latency injection) using tools like Gremlin, Litmus, or custom scripts
• Validate system resiliency strategies via periodic chaos testing
  

Disaster Recovery

• Plan, implement, and test DR strategies, ensuring defined RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective)
• Run regular DR drills and create automated recovery documentation/playbooks
  

Soft Skills & Collaboration

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams
• Excellent communication skills - both written and verbal
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
  

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS Certification (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer)
• Experience with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd)
• Familiarity with GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux)
• Exposure to CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
