Job Description

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and technically hands-on Principal Engineer / Technical Lead to architect, implement, and scale our Cloud Platform, DevOps pipelines, and Infrastructure Quality Engineering initiatives. This role is ideal for a senior technologist with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure engineering, CI/CD automation, Kubernetes orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code. You will play a critical role in designing and building scalable, secure, and highly available cloud-native systems, while directly contributing to the implementation and operationalization of DevOps best practices.

Primary responsibilities:

• Implement cloud infrastructure solutions (AWS/GCP) with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

• Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Groovy, and Squadron, enabling streamlined deployments and faster release cycles.

• Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps workflows.

• Manage and optimize Kubernetes clusters, including upgrades, autoscaling, liveness/readiness probes, and namespace policies.

• Drive the adoption of DevOps and SRE principles: observability, monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery.

• Lead technical deep-dives and collaborate with development and QA teams to ensure platform readiness, secure infrastructure, and fast feedback loops.

• Identify opportunities to automate, simplify, and strengthen deployment and infrastructure operations.

• Contribute to architectural reviews, RFCs, and cloud-native modernization efforts across teams.

• Act as the technical authority on DevOps and platform engineering decisions—enabling high-impact delivery

Required Skills: 

Mandatory Skills:

• 12+ years of deep technical experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.

• Proven hands-on expertise in Jenkins pipeline development (Groovy) and CI/CD systems.

• Extensive experience with Terraform, Ansible, and managing infrastructure as code at scale.

• Strong Kubernetes experience, including managing clusters, Helm, and auto scaling strategies.

• Solid understanding of AWS or GCP services, including compute, storage, networking, and IAM.

• Experience implementing observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.).

• Familiarity with container security, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary), and cost optimization.

• Ability to influence cross-functional teams through technical leadership—not just through hierarchy.

• Bonus: Exposure to Infra QA, automated testing pipelines, or AI/LLM-based automation.

• 2+ Years of experience in leading tech teams 

Good to Have: 

Prior QA knowledge.

What will you learn on this job?

Opportunity to lead and shape the future of infrastructure in a rapidly scaling environment. Cutting-edge technology stack and automation-first mindset.
