- Lead incident response processes, perform root cause analysis, and drive post-incident improvements to reduce system downtime.
- Collaborate with security teams to embed security and compliance requirements into infrastructure design across global jurisdictions.
- Optimize system performance, cloud resource utilization, and infrastructure costs while maintaining reliability standards.
- Identify and eliminate operational toil through automation, improving engineering efficiency and platform scalability.
- Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies to ensure safe, reliable, and repeatable releases.
- Work closely with platform and product engineering teams to improve API reliability, developer experience, and system observability.
- Produce clear documentation, runbooks, and operational guidelines to support engineering excellence and knowledge sharing.
Requirements:
- Senior-level experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Systems Engineering roles operating production systems at scale.
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments.
- Solid expertise with AWS cloud services, including compute, networking, storage, and managed services.

- Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
- Strong Linux systems knowledge, including debugging, scripting (Bash), and log analysis.
- Experience designing and operating observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK).
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Nice to have: experience with backend programming languages (Go, Python, Java, Node.js, etc.).
- Nice to have: experience in multi-tenant platforms, consultancy environments, or large-scale distributed systems.
Benefits:
- Annual salary range: USD $54,000 – $150,000 (based on experience and location).
