DevOps Engineer

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.

Ideal Candidate

• Strong Principal DevOps Engineer Profile
• Mandatory (Experience 1): Must have 10+ years in DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure roles with hands-on experience (clear scale signals like traffic, uptime, latency, infra size should be mentioned) in B2B SAAS companies
• Mandatory (Experience 2): Must have worked in Principal / Staff / Lead DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer role and demonstrated org-level ownership - setting infra roadmap, defining DevOps charter, or structuring the platform function not just domain-level technical ownership
• Mandatory (Experience 3): Must show evidence of strategic authorship, defined multi-year infra/platform strategy, drove company-wide architectural shifts as an initiator (not implementer), or directly interfaced with VP Eng / CTO / product leadership on infra direction
• Mandatory (Experience 4): Must have B2B SaaS company experience with multi-tenant architecture OR multiple production stacks (multi-env / multi-client systems)
• Mandatory (Tech Skills 1 - Cloud & Infra): AWS (VPC, EKS, EC2, RDS, networking), Kubernetes (EKS) at scale, Designing high availability, multi-region systems
