Role & Responsibilities

Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure at Scale
• Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.

• CI/CD & Release Automation
• Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.
• Reliability Engineering
• Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.
• Security & Governance
• Integrate DevSecOps practices — from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.
• Mentorship & Thought Leadership
• Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.
