DevOps Engineer

DevOps / Infrastructure

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, highly available infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments.
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi).
• Manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/self-managed).
• Set up and maintain observability: logging, monitoring, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Datadog, New Relic, or similar).
• Drive cost optimization, capacity planning, and infrastructure scaling initiatives.
• Own incident response for infrastructure/production issues, participate in on-call rotations, conduct RCAs and blameless postmortems.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce manual toil.

SecOps / Security

• Own the security posture of cloud infrastructure, including IAM policies, network security, VPC/firewall configurations, and secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.).
• Implement and monitor security controls across CI/CD (SAST/DAST, dependency & container vulnerability scanning).
• Set up and manage SIEM/logging for security monitoring, threat detection, and alerting.
• Conduct regular vulnerability assessments, penetration test coordination, and remediation tracking.
• Define and enforce security best practices: least-privilege access, encryption at rest/in transit, key rotation policies.
• Drive compliance initiatives (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR as applicable) and support audits. 
• Build and maintain security runbooks, playbooks, and internal documentation.
• Respond to security incidents, including triage, containment, root cause analysis, and post-incident hardening.

Must have technical skills

• Proficiency in cloud services (AWS or Google Cloud Platform) and containerization tools like Kubernetes and Docker.
• Hands-on experience with:

- Linux OS

- Scripting (Shell/Bash/Python)

- Database management (MySQL, MongoDB).

• Expertise with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Chef/Puppet/Ansible, Maven/Nexus, EKS, GKE) and configuration management tools like Ansible and Terraform.
• Deploy and maintain infrastructure using Redis, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ for scalable and high-performance applications.
• Working understanding of core security concepts: IAM, network segmentation, encryption, vulnerability management, and threat modeling.
• Experience with monitoring/observability and log management tools.
