Senior DevOps Engineer (SRE)

Role Overview:

Virtana is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our R&D Infrastructure team. In this role, you won't just follow conventions — you'll help redefine them. You will own the architecture, build, and day-to-day operations of the GCP-based cloud platform that powers Virtana's SaaS products and the AI-driven observability experience our Global 2000 customers depend on. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role with meaningful technical leadership scope, working alongside engineers and architects on a unified observability platform.

Work Location: Pune

Job Type: Hybrid

Role Responsibilities:

• GCP Cloud Operations: Develop, deploy, operate, and support production cloud infrastructure primarily on GCP — leveraging GKE, BigTable, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Storage, IAM, and core networking services.
• Reliability & SLAs: Ensure production systems are running at all times with multiple levels of redundancy to meet committed SLAs; lead incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.
• Build & Release Automation: Design, implement, and continuously improve scalable CI/CD pipelines and test frameworks leveraged by QA and development teams across the company.
• Infrastructure as Code: Manage large-scale, repeatable deployments using Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or SaltStack; champion Git-based workflows and version control standards for distributed engineering teams.
• Security & Availability: Maintain the ongoing maintenance, security, patching, and availability of services in line with tight operations, security, and procedural models.
• Monitoring & Alerting: Plan and deliver high-value monitoring and alerting features to support operations, support, and customer-facing reliability — eating our own dog food with the Virtana Platform wherever possible.
• Capacity & Cost: Forecast capacity, plan upgrades, patches, and migrations, and drive cloud cost efficiency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work with development, operations, and support personnel to identify, isolate, and diagnose issues; handle support escalations and drive permanent fixes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science / Engineering or equivalent relevant experience.
• 5–7 years of professional hands-on DevOps / SRE experience supporting production cloud environments.
• Strong, demonstrable production experience on GCP — including GKE, BigTable, BigQuery, Dataflow, IAM, and core GCP networking services.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and Docker in production.
• Advanced proficiency with at least one infrastructure-as-code / configuration management tool: Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or SaltStack.
• Solid understanding of networking, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, and database operations.
• Strong working knowledge of Git-based workflows and version control standards for distributed engineering teams.
• Comfort operating hybrid environments that include both Linux and Windows ecosystems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain highly technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work both independently and within a globally distributed team.

Good to Have:

• Strong scripting skills and a demonstrated ability to automate operational toil — Python preferred; Bash, Go, or Groovy a plus.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins (Spinnaker, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI also welcome).
• Exposure to AWS or other public clouds in addition to GCP.
• Experience operating SaaS platforms built on microservices architectures.

About the Role 

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the design, automation, and scaling of our hybrid cloud infrastructure spanning public cloud and private/on-premises environments.

• Operate and maintain on-premises infrastructure: hypervisors, compute, storage (Ceph, NetApp, SAN/NAS), networking (SDN, VLANs, BGP, MPLS), and hardware capacity planning, alongside their public cloud equivalents. 
• Design and own CI/CD pipelines that deploy seamlessly across public and private environments. 
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi) with strong version control and review practices, using providers for both public and private cloud platforms. 
• Manage container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, OpenShift, Rancher) across managed cloud services and self-managed/bare-metal clusters, including upgrades, autoscaling, and workload reliability. 
• Build observability into all systems through logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or similar) with unified visibility across hybrid environments. 
• Champion security best practices: secrets management, IAM hardening, network segmentation, vulnerability scanning, and compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or data-sovereignty requirements). 
• Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-mortems; drive long-term reliability improvements and SLO/SLA adherence. 
• Optimize cost, capacity, and resource utilization across public cloud spend and on-premises hardware without compromising performance or availability. 
• Partner with data center operations and network providers on hardware provisioning, firmware management, MPLS circuit management, and lifecycle planning. 
• Mentor junior DevOps and software engineers; promote DevOps culture, automation-first thinking, and shared ownership of production. 
• Evaluate and introduce new tools, platforms, and processes that improve developer productivity and system reliability. 

Required Qualifications 

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles, with at least 2 years at a senior level. 
• Deep expertise with at least one major public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) in production. 
• Hands-on experience operating private cloud or virtualization platforms (OpenStack, VMware, Nutanix, or equivalent) in production. 
• Strong experience with virtualization, storage systems, and enterprise networking in on-premises environments. 
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production, including both managed cloud and self-managed/bare-metal clusters. 
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and Ansible strongly preferred). 
• Solid scripting and programming skills in Python, Go, Bash, or similar. 
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, or ArgoCD. 
• Strong Linux systems administration and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, VPNs, firewalls, routing, MPLS). 
• Experience with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, ELK, or OpenTelemetry). 
• Proven track record of leading incident response and improving system reliability. 
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering, security, infrastructure, and product teams. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience designing hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, including secure connectivity (Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, MPLS, VPN, SD-WAN) between public and private environments. 
• Familiarity with service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), API gateways, and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux). 
• Background in security-focused or regulated environments and exposure to compliance frameworks. 
• Experience with database administration (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB) in cloud-managed and self-hosted setups. 
• Contributions to open-source DevOps or cloud infrastructure tooling. 
• Relevant certifications (AWS Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator, CKA, CKAD, RHCE, VMware VCP, OpenStack Certified Administrator, HashiCorp Terraform Associate).
