Description

Role Overview

Company is seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to design, build, and optimize cloud infrastructure on AWS, automate CI/CD pipelines, implement monitoring and security frameworks, and proactively identify scalability challenges. This role requires someone who has hands-on experience running infrastructure at B2C product scale, ideally in media/OTT or high-traffic applications.

 Key Responsibilities

1. Cloud Infrastructure — AWS (Primary Focus)

• Architect, deploy, and manage scalable infrastructure using AWS services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, RDS, ELB/ALB, VPC, IAM, Route53, etc.
• Optimize cloud cost, resource utilization, and performance across environments.
• Design high-availability, fault-tolerant systems for streaming workloads.

2. CI/CD Automation

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
• Automate deployments for microservices, mobile apps, and backend APIs.
• Implement blue/green and canary deployments for seamless production rollouts.

3. Observability & Monitoring

• Implement logging, metrics, and alerting using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, CloudWatch, New Relic, etc.
• Perform proactive performance analysis to minimize downtime and bottlenecks.
• Set up dashboards for real-time visibility into system health and user traffic spikes.

4. Security, Compliance & Risk Highlighting

• Conduct frequent risk assessments and identify vulnerabilities in:

  o Cloud architecture

  o Access policies (IAM)

  o Secrets & key management

  o Data flows & network exposure

• Implement security best practices including VPC isolation, WAF rules, firewall policies, and SSL/TLS management.

5. Scalability & Reliability Engineering

• Analyze traffic patterns for OTT-specific load variations (weekends, new releases, peak hours).
• Identify scalability gaps and propose solutions across:
•   o Microservices
•   o Caching layers
•   o CDN distribution (CloudFront)
•   o Database workloads
• Perform capacity planning and load testing to ensure readiness for 10x traffic growth.

6. Database & Storage Support

• Administer and optimize MongoDB for high-read/low-latency use cases.
• Design backup, recovery, and data replication strategies.
• Work closely with backend teams to tune query performance and indexing.

7. Automation & Infrastructure as Code

• Implement IaC using Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.
• Automate repetitive infrastructure tasks to ensure consistency across environments.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical Must-Haves

• 5+ years of DevOps/SRE experience in cloud-native, product-based companies.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS (core and advanced services).
• Expertise in Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid background working with MongoDB in production environments.
• Good understanding of networking: VPCs, subnets, security groups, NAT, routing.
• Strong scripting experience (Bash, Python, Shell).
• Experience handling risk identification, root cause analysis, and incident management.

Nice to Have

• Experience with OTT, video streaming, media, or any content-heavy product environments.
• Familiarity with containers (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS), and service mesh.
• Understanding of CDN, caching, and streaming pipelines.

Personality & Mindset

• Strong sense of ownership and urgency—DevOps is mission critical at OTT scale.
• Proactive problem solver with ability to think about long-term scalability.
• Comfortable working with cross-functional engineering teams.

Why Join company?

• Build and operate infrastructure powering millions of monthly users.

• Opportunity to shape DevOps culture and cloud architecture from the ground up.

• High-impact role in a fast-scaling Indian OTT product.

What are we looking for??

1. You have a good understanding and work experience in AKS, Kubernetes, and EKS.
2. You are able to manage multi region clusters for disaster recovery.
3. You have a good understanding of AWS stack.
4. You have experience of production level in Kubernetes. 
5. You are comfortable coding/programming and can do so whenever required. 
6. You have worked with programmable infrastructure in some way - Built a CI/CD pipeline, Provisioned infrastructure programmatically or Provisioned monitoring and logging infrastructure for large sets of machines.
7. You love automating things, sometimes even what seems like you can’t automate - such as one of our engineers used Ansible to set up the Ubuntu workstation and runs a playbook every time something has to be installed.
8. You don’t throw around words such as “high availability” or “resilient systems” without understanding at least their basics. Because you know that words are easy to talk about but there is a fair amount of work to build such a system in practice.
9. You love coaching people - about the 12-factor apps or the latest tool that reduced your time of doing a task by X times and so on. You lead by example when it comes to technical work and community.
10. You understand the areas you have worked on very well but, you are curious about many systems that you may not have worked on and want to fiddle with them.
11. You know that understanding applications and the runtime technologies gives you a better perspective - you never looked at them as two different things.

What you will be learning and doing?

1. You will be working with customers trying to transform their applications and adopt cloud-native technologies. The technologies used will be Kubernetes, Prometheus, Service Mesh, Distributed tracing and public cloud technologies or on-premise infrastructure.
2. The problems and solutions are continuously evolving in space but fundamentally you will be solving problems with simplest and scalable automation.
3. You will be building open source tools for problems that you think are common across customers and industry. No one ever benefited from re-inventing the wheel, did they? 
4. You will be hacking around open source projects, understand their capabilities, limitations and apply the right tool for the right job.
5. You will be educating the customers - from their operations engineers to developers on scalable ways to build and operate applications in modern cloud-native infrastructure.
