• Establish, manage, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Helm charts, Terraform and Crossplan.
• Implement automation strategies to streamline deployments and infrastructure management, ensuring rapid yet reliable release cycles.
• Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog) to proactively identify and address performance bottlenecks.
• Lead incident response efforts, conduct root-cause analysis, and drive long-term solutions to prevent recurring issues.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer or Site Reliability Engineer in high-scale, fast-paced environments.

• Knowledge of different database technologies like MySQL, MongoDB and Redis.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Linux operating systems, Bash scripting, and networking fundamentals.
• Deep understanding of container orchestration, microservices architecture, and distributed systems.
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and Datadog.
• Deep understanding of security best practices and experience leading security initiatives within cloud environments.

Advantages:
