This is a hands-on engineering role where you will be responsible for designing, automating, deploying, and supporting highly scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure.
We are looking for someone who can go beyond traditional operations and bring a development mindset, particularly with Python scripting/automation.

- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
- Manage and operate Kubernetes environments in production.
- Build and maintain Kubernetes deployments using Helm.
- Automate configuration management and infrastructure tasks using Ansible.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins.
- Develop Python scripts and automation tools to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual processes.
- Work with HashiCorp Vault for secrets management and secure infrastructure operations.
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, deployment, and production issues.
- Implement monitoring, logging, security, scalability, and reliability best practices.
- Collaborate with development teams to improve application deployment, release processes, and overall platform reliability.
- Support cloud migration, infrastructure modernization, and automation initiatives.
- Identify bottlenecks and continuously improve infrastructure and DevOps processes.
