• Drive continuous improvement in CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, automation strategies, and cloud-native infrastructure operations.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or similar infrastructure-focused engineering roles.
• Proven expertise operating and scaling high-throughput, highly available production systems.
• Deep practical experience with Kubernetes in cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Strong understanding of observability concepts, including monitoring, SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, logging, and distributed tracing.
• Proficiency in Go or Python, with strong software engineering and automation skills.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Pulumi, Terraform, or OpenTofu, along with GitOps workflows and CI/CD automation.
• Strong knowledge of cloud-native technologies, distributed systems, and reliability engineering best practices.
• Demonstrated experience leading infrastructure initiatives, writing technical proposals, and driving architecture decisions.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams and stakeholders.
• Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and managing critical production incidents.
• Additional experience with service meshes, API gateways, Kubernetes operators, or highly available PostgreSQL environments is considered a plus.
