Key Responsibilities

• Design and operate scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure platforms across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Champion DevOps and SRE practices including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, observability, and reliability engineering.
• Build developer-friendly platforms (“golden paths”) to simplify deployments and reduce friction.
• Enable and optimize infrastructure for AI/ML workloads: data pipelines, model training and inference environments, GPU-enabled and high-performance compute.
• Develop and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines for applications, data, and ML workflows.
• Implement observability frameworks (metrics, logs, traces) to ensure system health and performance.
• Define and manage SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets to drive reliability improvements.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems with a focus on continuous improvement.
• Automate provisioning, configuration, patching, and environment lifecycle management.
• Build and manage containerized and orchestrated platforms (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Support cloud migration, modernization, and platform standardization initiatives.
• Ensure systems meet security, compliance, backup, and disaster recovery requirements.
• Evangelize DevOps practices and AI-driven tool integrations for code standards and shift-left automation.
• Mentor engineers and promote best practices in DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering.

• 4+ years with CI/CD and automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Jenkins, GitHub Actions.
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell or similar).
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or cloud-native equivalents).
• Proficiency using vibe coding and coding assistants to develop scripts, tools, and applications for DevOps/SRE use cases.
• Ability to debug, troubleshoot, and/or deploy SQL and/or NoSQL databases, object storage, and open-source programming stacks (Node.JS, R, Python, .NET Core, Java).
• Willingness to learn and adopt emerging technologies relevant to AIOps, MLOps, cloud computing, infrastructure automation, security, and data engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cloud certifications are preferred.
• Certifications in Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, or networking certifications (CCNA, CCNP or similar) are preferred.
