Design, build, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure.
Own infrastructure architecture with high availability, security, and cost efficiency.
Drive infrastructure standardisation and automation.
CI/CD and Developer Productivity:
Build and maintain fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines.
Enable safe deployments through automation, rollbacks, and environment isolation.
Reduce friction for developers through tooling and self-service workflows.
Reliability and Observability:
Implement and evolve monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
Define SLOs/SLIs and improve system reliability.
Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and preventive improvements.
Automation and Infrastructure as Code:
Automate provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code.
Eliminate manual operational tasks through scripting and tooling.
Maintain versioned, reviewable, and auditable infrastructure changes.
Security and Compliance:
Implement security best practices across infrastructure and CI/CD.
Manage secrets, access control, and environment isolation.
Partner with engineering and security teams on compliance requirements.
Collaboration and Leadership:
Work closely with backend and frontend teams to improve runtime and deployment reliability.
Mentor engineers on operational best practices.
Influence platform and reliability standards across teams.
Requirements:
5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles.

Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, or similar).
CI/CD and Automation:
Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).
Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar).
Observability and Reliability:
Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools.
Understanding of distributed systems, failure modes, and reliability trade-offs.
Infrastructure as Code:
