About the role

  • Build and manage scalable infrastructure using modern tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm).
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support seamless build, test, and deployment processes.
  • Establish comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog.
  • Support production systems and lead efforts in root cause analysis, postmortems, and incident prevention.
  • Enable self-service infrastructure and deployment tooling for development teams.
  • Ensure security best practices are integrated into platform operations.
  • Optimize cloud resource usage for performance and cost.
  • Partner with software engineering and security to drive architectural decisions and delivery excellence.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and lead operational readiness efforts.
  • All other duties and projects as assigned.

About you
