Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve our cloud infrastructure across multi-region production environments , end-to-end.
  • Lead our GitOps deployment model - designing and maintaining declarative, automated deployment workflows with zero manual gates.
  • Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines with a strong focus on developer experience , reliability, and speed.
  • Initiate, implement, and champion an AI-first DevOps & SRE ecosystem - identifying opportunities, building AI agents and intelligent automation , and driving their adoption across engineering operations.
  • Develop automation frameworks for provisioning, scaling, observability, and incident response, leveraging AI-powered tooling and agentic workflows to reduce toil.
  • Operate and improve our observability platform : metrics, logs, alerting, dashboards, SLOs/SLIs , and on-call tooling.
  • Champion zero-trust secrets management and credential-less authentication patterns across the stack.
  • Partner with architects and engineering leadership on cloud cost optimization , availability, and performance.
  • Build internal tooling and automation that multiplies engineering velocity across the organization.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on DevOps experience in a SaaS product environment - Must.
  • Demonstrated initiative in applying AI to engineering operations - designing and building AI agents, agentic workflows, LLM-powered automation, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations that reduced operational toil and improved production reliability, quality, or velocity - Must.
  • Strong scripting and programming skills - Python and Bash for automation, tooling, and AI agent development; Go is a plus.
  • Strong motivation to continuously learn and adopt emerging technologies, and to share that knowledge across the team.
  • Deep, hands-on AWS expertise; multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) experience is a strong plus - Must.
  • Strong understanding of containers and orchestration - Docker , Kubernetes , including workloads, networking, service mesh ( Istio ), Helm/Kustomize , and autoscaling ( KEDA , HPA, VPA).
  • Strong experience with:
  • Infrastructure-as-Code - Terraform , Crossplane , and/or cloud-native declarative tooling.
  • GitOps principles and tooling ( ArgoCD or equivalent).
  • CI/CD platforms - building reusable, scalable, security-hardened pipeline templates ( GitHub Actions or equivalent).
  • Secrets management - dynamic injection, IRSA/Workload Identity , avoiding long-lived credentials.
  • Experience embedding security into CI/CD : vulnerability scanning , SBOM generation , and supply chain security ( Trivy , Grype , Syft , JFrog Xray ).
  • Solid observability knowledge - OpenTelemetry , Prometheus , Grafana , Datadog , ELK/OpenSearch , distributed tracing.
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML workloads or LLMOps infrastructure - a significant advantage.
  • Cost-awareness (FinOps) - treating cloud spend as a core engineering metric.
  • Clear communication skills - able to align engineers, security teams, and leadership around infrastructure decisions.
  • A strong sense of ownership - proactively identifying gaps and driving improvements.
