Role: Full-Time, Long-Term Required: Docker, GCP, CI/CD Preferred: Experience with ML pipelines
OVERVIEW
We are seeking a DevOps engineer to join as a core member of our technical team. This is a long-term position for someone who wants to own infrastructure and deployment for a production machine learning system. You will ensure our prediction pipeline runs reliably, deploys smoothly, and scales as needed.
The ideal candidate thinks about failure modes obsessively, automates everything possible, and builds systems that run without constant attention.
CORE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Docker (Required): Deep experience with containerization. Efficient Dockerfiles, layer caching, multi-stage builds, debugging container issues. Experience with Docker Compose for local development.
Google Cloud Platform (Required): Strong GCP experience: Cloud Run for serverless containers, Compute Engine for VMs, Artifact Registry for images, Cloud Storage, IAM. You can navigate the console but prefer scripting everything.
CI/CD (Required): Build and maintain deployment pipelines. GitHub Actions required. You automate testing, building, pushing, and deploying. You understand the difference between continuous integration and continuous deployment.
Linux Administration (Required): Comfortable on the command line. SSH, diagnose problems, manage services, read logs, fix things. Bash scripting is second nature.
PostgreSQL (Required): Database administration basics—backups, monitoring, connection management, basic performance tuning. Not a DBA, but comfortable keeping a production database healthy.
Infrastructure as Code (Preferred): Terraform, Pulumi, or similar. Infrastructure should be versioned, reviewed, and reproducible—not clicked together in a console.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Deployment Pipeline: Maintaining and improving deployment scripts and CI/CD workflows. Code moves from commit to production reliably with appropriate testing gates.
Cloud Run Services: Managing deployments for model fitting, data cleansing, and signal discovery services. Monitor health, optimize cold starts, handle scaling.
VM Infrastructure: PostgreSQL and Streamlit on GCP VMs. Instance management, updates, backups, security.
Container Registry: Managing images in GitHub Container Registry and Google Artifact Registry. Cleanup policies, versioning, access control.
Monitoring and Alerting: Building observability. Logging, metrics, health checks, alerting. Know when things break before users tell us.
Environment Management: Configuration across local and production. Secrets management. Environment parity where it matters.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Deployments are boring—no drama, no surprises. Systems recover automatically from transient failures. Engineers deploy with confidence. Infrastructure changes are versioned and reproducible. Costs are reasonable and resources scale appropriately.
ENGINEERING STANDARDS
Automation First: If you do something twice, automate it. Manual processes are bugs waiting to happen.
Documentation: Runbooks, architecture diagrams, deployment guides. The next person can understand and operate the system.
Security Mindset: Secrets never in code. Least-privilege access. You think about attack surfaces.
Reliability Focus: Design for failure. Backups are tested. Recovery procedures exist and work.
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
GCP (Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Artifact Registry, Cloud Storage), Docker, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL 16, Bash deployment scripts with Python wrapper.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Ownership Mentality: You see a problem, you fix it. You do not wait for assignment.
Calm Under Pressure: When production breaks, you diagnose methodically.
Communication: You explain infrastructure decisions to non-infrastructure people. You document what you build.
Long-Term Thinking: You build systems maintained for years, not quick fixes creating tech debt.
EDUCATION
University degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred. Equivalent demonstrated expertise also considered.
TO APPLY
Include: (1) CV/resume, (2) Brief description of infrastructure you built or maintained, (3) Links to relevant work if available, (4) Availability and timezone.

About us
- Innoviti (http://www.innoviti.com/">innoviti.com) is India’s largest provider of payment solutions to Enterprise merchants.
- Processing $10 Bn of payments from 2000 cities. We today have 76% of Enterprise market share.
- Enterprises such as Reliance, Landmark Group, Shoppers Stop, Pantaloons, Hamleys, Van Heusen, Louise Phillipe, Madura Garments and several other hundreds of Enterprises are our customers.
- Our vision is to use technology to unlock the hidden value in payments, helping large and small businesses constantly find new and unique ways to grow faster with lesser efforts.
- We believe payment transactions are more than money moving pipes. Whenever a payment happens, it is not only the merchant who makes money, but also the brand whose product was sold and the bank whose payment instrument was used. A merchant, brand, and bank talk to the same consumer, however there is no easy way for them to talk to each other. Our technology makes this collaboration happen, and makes it happen at the point of payment. We help them share customers and share marketing budgets, in turn targeting customers better than possible otherwise. By making it happen at the point of payment we ensure for each party that their marketing efforts are translating into sales.
- Today our technology has helped large businesses grow faster with lesser efforts. They have been able to offer EMI, BNPL, Cashbacks, Loyalty Point redemption and other offers with merchants, brands and banks participating in it. Every day new use cases are designed and stitched using our technology platform.
- Our next target are small merchants. For them, the problems are far larger and more complex. They have no means to access the marketing budgets or customers of large brands or banks. They cannot even cross the regional offices of these businesses. This is where we come in. We are bringing the power of the technology created for large merchants to these businesses. Helping bring the power of large brands and banks with whom we already partner to small merchants.
- Innoviti’s first target category in this segment is small merchants selling electronic goods – mobiles, durables, laptops etc. They are struggling the most as their customers find attractive offers online through partner brands and banks, which they can’t match in their stores. These businesses offer the advantage of touch, feel and explanation in local language. What they lack is the technology to discover, access customers and attract them with superior offers.
- GENIE, our smart marketing platform helps them do that. It is a mobile app that integrates with bank and brands on one end and Google and Facebook on the other. It not only helps them discover and access customers searching for these products online, but also attract them to their stores with offers better than online.
- The app was launched in July 2021 and has shown a 100% month-on-month growth, with more than 23% of the merchant’s monthly sales now happening through it.
- In the next 5 years Innoviti wants to scale up its GTV from $10Bn to $30Bn, multiplying its revenue 10X.
- We want to be recognized in this space as the company that transformed the payments industry by showing ways of extracting value from payment transactions better than anyone else. We want to be setting the path for the next generation of payment solutions, that will be followed by others.
- Towards this we need to hire aggressive talented individuals, who firmly believe that no problem is unsolvable. That there is always a way to solve the toughest of problems. Those who get excited by solving such tough problems at scale, and seeing the impact of that around them in the market. Those who feel fulfilled when they see that it is making a difference to the lives of people around them.
To drive this roadmap the company is looking for talent who are ready to do what no payments platform has done before and what every payment platform will do thereafter.
