DevOps Certified Engineer

Location: Bangalore

Experience: 2–5 years

Type: Full-time | On-site

Open Roles: 1

Start: Immediate

Why this role exists

Most engineering teams choose between speed and stability.

We need both.

Today:

• Deployments carry risk
• Cloud costs are higher than they should be
• Compliance is reactive, not built-in

This role exists to build a platform where:

• We can deploy fast without breaking production
• We can scale without runaway cost
• We can pass enterprise InfoSec reviews without firefighting

What you’ll do

You will not just manage infrastructure.

You will build the platform that engineering runs on.

1. Drive cloud cost efficiency

• Reduce Azure compute spend by 40%
• Implement:
• Reserved Instances / savings plans
• Right-sizing of workloads
• Scheduling for non-critical workloads
• Continuously monitor and optimize cost vs performance

2. Build zero-downtime deployment systems

• Ship a deployment pipeline that supports:
• 5+ production deployments per week
• Zero customer-visible downtime
• Implement:
• Blue-green / canary deployments
• Automated health checks
• Safe rollout strategies

3. Enable fast and safe releases

• Reduce time-to-launch significantly
• Ensure:
• High reliability in every release
• Ability to rollback instantly if something breaks
• Create systems where:
• Scaling up is seamless when things go right
• Failures are contained when they don’t

4. Build disaster recovery and compliance readiness

• Create DR/BCP systems that pass enterprise audits from:
• HDFC Life, SBI Life
• Ensure:
• Backup and recovery processes are defined and tested
• Failover strategies are documented and executable
• Build compliance as part of the system, not an afterthought

5. Embed security into the pipeline

• Integrate:
• SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
• DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
• SCA (Software Composition Analysis)
• Secret scanning
• Container scanning
• IaC scanning
• Ensure vulnerabilities are caught before deployment

6. Enforce policy-as-code

• Implement:
• OPA / Gatekeeper
• Azure Policy
• Prevent non-compliant infrastructure from being deployed
• Ensure consistency across environments

7. Build a scalable platform layer

• Create systems that:
• Support increasing deployment frequency
• Maintain reliability under scale
• Work closely with backend and SRE teams to:
• Improve system stability
• Reduce operational overhead

What success looks like

• Cloud costs reduce by ≥ 40%
• Deployments are:
• Frequent
• Safe
• Invisible to customers
• Rollbacks are instant and reliable
• DR/BCP passes enterprise audits in the first attempt
• Security is embedded in the pipeline, not patched later
• Engineering teams ship faster with confidence

Who you are

• You have 2-5 years of experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering
• You have worked with:
• Cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
• CI/CD systems
• Infrastructure as Code
• You think in:
• Systems
• Trade-offs (speed vs reliability vs cost)
• You are comfortable owning:
• Production infrastructure
• Deployment systems

What will make you stand out

• Experience with:
• High-frequency deployment systems
• Cost optimization at scale
• Security-first pipelines
• Strong understanding of:
• Kubernetes / container orchestration
• Monitoring and observability
• Distributed system reliability
• Experience passing enterprise security/compliance audits

Why join

• You will define how engineering ships and scales
• Your work directly impacts:
• Reliability
• Cost
• Deployment velocity
• You will build a platform that moves from:
• Fragile → predictable and scalable

What this role is not

• Not manual infra management
• Not reactive firefighting
• Not limited to CI/CD maintenance

What this role is

• A builder of deployment systems
• A driver of cost efficiency
• A guardian of reliability and compliance
