About The Role
We are looking for an experienced DevOps / Cloud Engineer to architect, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available cloud-native infrastructure. You will work closely with development and product teams to automate deployments, optimize reliability, and enable rapid delivery through modern CI/CD practices across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP following best practices for scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.
- Build, maintain, and enhance CI/CD pipelines to enable automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
- Containerize applications using Docker and orchestrate them using Kubernetes (self-managed or managed services like EKS/AKS/GKE).
- Define, write, and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform (or equivalent) to provision and version cloud resources.
- Monitor system health, performance, and availability; implement alerting, logging, and observability (metrics, tracing, centralized logs).
- Collaborate with developers to enable efficient release processes, including blue/green or canary deployments, rollback mechanisms, and feature flag integration.
- Implement security best practices at infrastructure and deployment layers (IAM, secrets management, network segmentation, vulnerability scanning).
- Manage environment configurations and secrets securely (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault).
- Perform capacity planning, cost optimization, and disaster recovery planning.
- Troubleshoot production incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive postmortems with actionable remediation.
- Automate routine operational tasks (backup, scaling, health checks, patching) and maintain runbooks.
- Assist in onboarding, mentoring junior engineers, and driving DevOps culture across the organization.

- 4 to 8 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering.
- Strong experience with at least one major cloud provider : AWS, Azure, or GCP.

- Production experience with Kubernetes (deployment patterns, Helm charts, autoscaling, service mesh familiarity is a plus).
- Solid understanding and implementation of CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.
- Infrastructure-as-code expertise, especially Terraform (writing modules, state management, workspace strategies).
- Knowledge of networking, load balancing, DNS, VPN, firewalls, and cloud security configurations.
- Familiarity with logging/monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/EFK, Cloud-native equivalents).
- Scripting skills (Python, Bash, or equivalent) for automation.
- Experience with version control systems (Git), branching strategies, and release management.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Nice-to-Have

- Knowledge of policy-as-code (e.g., Open Policy Agent) and compliance automation.
- Familiarity with GitOps paradigms (Flux, Argo CD).
- Experience with database operations in cloud (managed PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.).
- Working knowledge of observability platforms (OpenTelemetry).
- Certification(s) such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, or Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer.
Working Model
- Hybrid / Partially Remote: Flexibility to work remotely with periodic in-office collaboration (for Bangalore / Pune-based candidates).
