About Locus: At Locus, we are redefining logistics decision-making with deep-tech solutions that drive efficiency, consistency, and transparency across industries like retail and FMCG/CPG. Founded in 2015 by Nishith Rastogi and Geet Garg, Locus has evolved from a women’s safety geo-tracking app into a globally recognized logistics optimization platform.

Our technology has empowered enterprises such as Unilever and Nestlé to execute over a billion deliveries across 30+ countries. Guided by our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth, we transform complex supply chains into strategic growth enablers. Join us at Locus and be part of a team shaping the future of global logistics.

About the role:

You’ll own the systems that power Locus — from infrastructure and automation to CI/CD and reliability engineering. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can see the big picture, drive architectural decisions, and enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter. You won’t just maintain systems — you’ll build leverage across teams by leading with a platform mindset and creating scalable, self-serve infrastructure.

Role Description:
  • Infrastructure at Scale
    Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.


  • Platform & Developer Experience

    Build internal tools and platforms that help engineers deploy, monitor, and scale their services independently — with minimal friction and maximum confidence.
  • CI/CD & Release Automation
    Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.
  • Reliability Engineering
    Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.
  • Security & Governance
    Integrate DevSecOps practices — from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.
  • Mentorship & Thought Leadership
    Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.

Qualification:

  • Experience:
    10+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infrastructure roles, ideally in SaaS, product-led or scale-up environments.

  • Cloud & Infra Expertise:
    Deep knowledge of AWS services, Kubernetes (EKS), VPC networking, container orchestration, and autoscaling patterns.

  • Automation & IaC:

    Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and scripting (Python/Go/Bash). You automate first, troubleshoot second.
  • Delivery Mindset:
    Experience of running fast, secure, zero-downtime deployments at scale — and improving release velocity without trading off stability.
  • Reliability Thinking:
    Understanding of SRE principles, SLOs, failure domains, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
  • Collaboration:
    Strong cross-functional communication. You’re as comfortable in architecture reviews as in incident retrospectives.
  • Bonus Points:
    Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), internal platform engineering, or multi-tenant architectures.


What We Offer
Join Locus and become part of a visionary team that is redefining logistics through innovation and smart distribution. We provide competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative environment where your expertise will drive both your growth and that of the organization.
Locus is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.
