Day-to-Day Cloud & Infrastructure Maintenance
Support and maintain multi-cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring high availability, security compliance, and performance.
Manage cloud resource provisioning, tagging, cost hygiene, and routine hygiene tasks (cleaning up orphaned disks, unused IPs, obsolete snapshots).
Assist in user access management, role provisioning (IAM/RBAC), and adherence to least-privilege security policies.
CI/CD & Release Support
Maintain and optimize existing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
Assist development teams with daily builds, staging rollouts, production deployments, and rollback procedures.
Troubleshoot build failures, deployment pipeline bottlenecks, and environment drift issues.

Support containerized workloads running on Docker and managed Kubernetes services (EKS, AKS, GKE).
Assist in rolling out Helm chart updates, ingress configurations, secrets management, and pod scaling policies.
Monitoring, Observability & Incident Response
Monitor platform health, logs, and alerts using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, or ELK/OpenSearch.
Participate in on-call rotations and first-response triage for operational incidents, identifying root causes and escalating when necessary.
Assist in running routine backup, restore, and disaster recovery verification checks.
Automation & Scripting
Write and maintain modular Terraform configurations for infrastructure automation.
Create and maintain utility scripts in Bash or Python to automate repetitive operational tasks.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Working experience with Terraform (creating modules, managing state files, and basic refactoring).
Containers & Orchestration: Solid experience with Docker and basic Kubernetes administration (kubectl, Helm, pod lifecycle management).
CI/CD: Experience maintaining automated deployment pipelines in tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.
Scripting: Proficiency in Python or Bash for task automation and API integrations.
Soft Skills & Working Style
Strong problem-solving aptitude and curiosity to learn across diverse cloud ecosystems.
Clear written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and incident updates.
