• Lead efforts in infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.

• Develop and enforce best practices for infrastructure provisioning, security, and cost optimization.

System Reliability & Performance

• Ensure availability, performance, scalability, and security of production systems.

• Implement observability strategies including monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog.

• Analyse system performance metrics and proactively identify potential issues and bottlenecks.

DevOps & Automation

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline code deployments across environments.

• Drive automation in infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational tasks.

• Ensure repeatable and reliable deployments using containers and orchestration tools like Kubernetes and ECS.

Service Management

• Own the SRE lifecycle, including incident management, postmortems, root cause analysis, and runbook creation.

• Collaborate closely with development and QA teams to ensure seamless microservices integration, deployment, and lifecycle management.

• Maintain service-level objectives (SLOs), service-level agreements (SLAs), and error budgets.

Security & Compliance

• Implement and enforce cloud security best practices for networking, identity and access management, and data protection.

• Support audits, compliance assessments, and vulnerability remediation.

• Monitor for security anomalies and work with security teams to respond to threats.

Technical Skills

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Cloud Engineering.

• Expertise in AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, Lambda, CloudWatch, etc.

• Strong knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration best practices.

• Experience managing services on Amazon ECS (Fargate or EC2).

• Proficient in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.

• Skilled in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Go.

• Solid grasp of networking, load balancing, DNS, and firewall rules in cloud environments.

• Deep understanding of microservices architectures, API gateways, and service meshes.

Soft Skills

• Proven leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Strong problem-solving and incident-resolution mindset.

• Clear communication, documentation, and stakeholder reporting abilities.

• Passion for continuous improvement and automation.

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect – Professional, or equivalent.

• Familiarity with service meshes like Istio or Linkerd.

• Experience with serverless architectures and event-driven systems.

• Knowledge of regulatory compliance (SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR) in cloud environments.
