Devops Enginner 1 - Cloud & Infra Automation

Why Astra

Astra is shaping the future of security - fast, intuitive, and deeply integrated. Our engineering culture values clarity, velocity, and human connection. We dont just ship-we shape. As a DevOps Engineer I, youll help architect the systems that power our products and internal platforms, enabling scale without sacrificing reliability.

What Youll Do:

Youll be the backbone of our infrastructure evolution - designing, automating, and scaling systems that power Astravelocity. Expect to:

• Build and maintain containerized environments using Docker, Kubernetes and hosted solutions
  
• Architect cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS with a focus on scalability, security and performance
  
• Automate provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Ansible
  
• Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for fast, safe deployments
  
• Implement monitoring and logging frameworks with Prometheus, Cloud Logging and GCP Monitoring
  
• Embed security and reliability into every layer - from IAM policies to deployment strategies.
  
• Define deployment strategies across staging and production, including blue/green and rollback mechanisms.
  
• Write clean, reusable scripts in Python and Bash to support automation and tooling.
  
• Integrate service mesh technologies like Istio for traffic management and observability
  
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to align infrastructure with business goals
  
• Document systems and processes clearly to support scale and cross-team understanding
  
• Continuously improve reliability posture by identifying bottlenecks and driving incident response learnings.
  
  
  

  
  

  What Success Looks Like:
  

  • Our environments are reproducible, observable and secure.
    
  • Product teams ship faster with NO infra bottlenecks.
    
  • You proactively surface reliability risks and solve them before they escalate.
    
  • You mentor junior engineers and elevate the teamDevOps maturity.
    
    
    

    
    Requirements

    Were looking for curious minds who build with intent. Youll thrive here if you:
    

    • Min 2-3 years hands-on experience with GCP and AWS in production environments
      
    • Strong understanding with compute, IAM, networking and integration services.
      
    • Have built and maintained container infrastructure using Docker and Kubernetes.
      
    • Can design container-based topologies that follow well-architected principles.
      
    • Have exposure to Service Mesh technologies like Istio.
      
    • Are fluent in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible.
      
    • Have built CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and understand pipelines as code.
      
    • Write automation scripts in Python and Bash with clarity and purpose.
      
    • Understand observability and security best practices in cloud-native environments (Prometheus, Cloud Logging, and GCP Monitoring).
      
    • Think in terms of reliability SLAs, not just uptime.
      
    • Communicate clearly and collaborate across functions with empathy and ownership.
      
      
      

      Bonus Points
      

      • Experience with incident response and postmortem culture.
        
      • Exposure to cost optimization in cloud environments.
        
      • Familiarity with GitOps workflows.
        
      • Contributions to open-source or internal tooling that improved team velocity.
        
        
        

        
        Benefits

        • Be a part of a fast-growing company and work on hard problems that matter.
          
        • Flexible work hours and hybrid setup
          
        • A team that values ownership, clarity, and kindness
          
        • Holistic understanding of the SaaS and security industry.
          
        • Annual trips to beaches or mountains (last one was to Wayanad!).
          
        • Health insurance & other benefits for you and your spouse (maternity benefits included).
          
          
          

          In a Nutshell:
          

          Youll build and maintain the cloud systems, automation pipelines, and reliability frameworks that help Astraproducts run fast, safe, and smooth - so developers can focus on shipping, not firefighting.
