About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain our cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. You will take ownership of our Kubernetes-based deployments (EKS & AKS), ensure system reliability, and drive automation and observability across environments.

The ideal candidate is a problem-solver with deep technical knowledge, strong scripting skills, and a passion for building scalable, secure, and efficient systems. You will collaborate closely with engineering, QA, and product teams to improve deployment workflows and support continuous delivery at scale.

• Design, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS) and cloud-native applications.

• Implement and manage Vault for secrets management and automated configuration workflows.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ArgoCD, and GitHub Actions.

• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or CloudFormation, with policy-as-code enforcement (OPA, Terraform Cloud).

• Establish and maintain monitoring, logging, and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry).

• Set and track SLOs/SLIs, manage error budgets, and drive a culture of reliability (SRE).

• Manage runtime environments for PHP-FPM, Go, and Python applications.

• Configure and optimize databases (MySQL, NoSQL) and caching (Redis) for performance and reliability.

• Maintain search and queueing systems (Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS).

• Ensure security and compliance by applying DevSecOps best practices (IAM, VPC, vulnerability scanning, SOC2/ISO27001 alignment).

• Respond to production incidents quickly, lead root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventive measures.

• Develop and test Disaster Recovery (DR) and business continuity plans.

• Collaborate across teams to optimize cost, performance, and delivery pipelines.

• Familiarity with Helm, service mesh (Istio, Linkerd), and cloud-native logging (Fluentd, Loki).

• Proficiency with MySQL, NoSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, SQS.

• Deep understanding of networking (DNS, routing, VPN, firewalls, load balancing).

• Strong incident management and troubleshooting skills.

• Experience implementing DR, backup, and high-availability strategies.

• Solid understanding of DevSecOps, IAM, and security compliance frameworks.

• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions).
