DevOps Engineer

Job Title: Senior Devops Engineer (Full-time)

Location: Mumbai, Onsite

Experience Required: 5+ Years

Required Qualifications

● Experience:

○ 5+ years of hands-on experience as a DevOps Engineer or similar role, with

proven expertise in building and customizing Helm charts from scratch (not just

using pre-existing ones).

○ Demonstrated ability to design and whiteboard DevOps pipelines, including

CI/CD workflows for microservices applications.

○ Experience packaging and deploying applications with stateful dependencies

(e.g., databases, persistent storage) in varied environments: on-prem (air-gapped

and non-air-gapped), single-tenant cloud, multi-tenant cloud, and developer trials.

○ Proficiency in managing deployments in Kubernetes clusters, including offline

installations, upgrades via Helm, and adaptations for client restrictions (e.g., no

additional tools or VMs).

○ Track record of handling client interactions, such as asking probing questions

about infrastructure (e.g., OS versions, storage solutions, network restrictions)

and explaining technical concepts clearly.

● Technical Skills:

○ Strong knowledge of Helm syntax and functionalities (e.g., Go templating, hooks,

subcharts, dependency management).

○ Expertise in containerization with Docker, including image management

(save/load, registries like Harbor or ECR).

○ Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and

GitOps for automated and manual deployments.

○ Understanding of storage solutions for on-prem and cloud, including object/file

storage (e.g., MinIO, Ceph, NFS, cloud-native like S3/EBS).

○ In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes concepts: StatefulSets, PersistentVolumes,

namespaces, HPA, liveness/readiness probes, network policies, and RBAC.

○ Solid grasp of cloud networking: VPCs (definition, boundaries, virtualization via

SDN, differences from private clouds), bare metal vs. virtual machines

(advantages like resource efficiency, flexibility, and scalability).

○ Ability to work in air-gapped environments, preparing offline artifacts and

ensuring self-contained deployment

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

One question to self-evaluate

Can you build a platform where we deploy faster, spend less, and never break production?

DevOps Consultant!! MERN Stack Project Manager – Systems (Enterprise or Solutions) Architect needed!

Hello superstar,

I appreciate you taking time to read this. I have posted a job for developers to work on a start-up, the link is ......

I would need someone with DevOps experience, to ensure that the project is undertaken with the highest standards possible. I have had many experiences where ‘completed’ software after years of development was filled with bugs and it would be more cost-effective to start from scratch than to attempt to find and correct all the bugs.

I have attempted to learn as much as possible, but I now have an opportunity and it would better serve the venture to have someone handle the management of the project to ensure that;

• We choose the most appropriate technology
• We choose competent developers in those technologies
• The architecture and data modeling are clearly defined in a ‘blueprint’ plan
• A DevOps environment and processes are set up and the developers understand what is required
• Proper tests are carried out to ensure everything works as intended
• There are processes for testers to follow and competent testers are selected to follow them
• Accessibility, localization, and internationalization are planned ahead of time
• Security, scalability, and other future probabilities that I may not even be aware of are considered and planned ahead of time
• Documentation and code reviews, refactoring and other quality assurance processes are undertaken
• Working software is produced and systems that enable new developers or teams of people to easily take over and/or contribute new modules or updates in a controlled and organized fashion
• Cost estimates or budgets/projections or use of SaaS, hosting and other 3rd party services and applications

I am more concerned with a professional and world-class organizational system than with any particular type of software been produced as the strong foundation will enable anything to be creating with efficacy and precision.

Again, thank you for reading this, please reply with the word “superstar” anywhere in the second line of your response.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes DevOps Evangelist,
