DevOps and SRE Lead

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team.

You will champion DevOps culture across the organization, drive automation initiatives, manage our cloud infrastructure, and ensure the highest standards of platform reliability and security. In addition to hands-on DevOps engineering work, this role carries people-leadership responsibility: you will lead and manage the Monitoring Engineers team, guiding their day-to-day work, growth, and performance. This is a senior, hands-on position with significant scope and visibility.

• Architect, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS

• Manage multi-environment setups (dev, staging, production) with proper isolation

• Design scalable, fault-tolerant architectures leveraging auto-scaling, load balancing, and multi-AZ deployments

• Manage container platforms using Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, or self-managed clusters)

• Build and maintain Docker images, Helm charts, and container registries

• Build alerting frameworks and on-call runbooks; lead post-incident reviews and blameless retrospectives

• Drive MTTR reduction through automation, self-healing systems, and runbook automation

• Automate repetitive infrastructure and operational tasks using scripting languages

• Proficiency in Python, Bash/Shell, Go, or PowerShell

• Develop internal tooling, CLI utilities, and self-service developer portals
