SDE II - DevOps Engineer

Auriga is looking for a DevOps / SRE Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and operational health of our production infrastructure. He will manage infrastructure end-to-end through code, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, respond to production incidents as part of an on-call rotation, and partner with engineering teams to embed reliability into every stage of our software delivery lifecycle. This is a hands-on ownership role - not a support or ticket-queue position.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

On-Call & Incident Management

• Participate/ lead production incident triage, mitigation, and resolution.
• Define and track SLIs / SLOs and manage error budgets for critical services.
• Author blameless postmortems with root cause analysis and corrective action plans for all significant incidents.
• Build and maintain runbooks and incident response playbooks.

Infrastructure as Code & Infra Management

• Own the full infrastructure lifecycle using Terraform exclusively - no manual console provisioning in production.
• Design modular Terraform modules for cloud resources: compute, networking, storage, IAM, DNS, databases.
• Manage environment parity (dev / staging / prod), drift detection, and immutable infrastructure principles.
• Use Ansible or equivalent for configuration management, patch management, and compliance at scale.
• Plan and execute capacity planning, scaling, and cost optimization initiatives.

Kubernetes & Containers

• Provision, configure, upgrade, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters (EKS / GKE / AKS).
• Manage Helm charts, ArgoCD / FluxCD GitOps workflows, RBAC, network policies, and secrets management.
• Troubleshoot pod failures, resource constraints, scheduling issues, and node-level problems.

CI/CD & Release Engineering

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins) with quality gates and automated rollback.
• Implement progressive delivery: blue-green, canary deployments, and feature flags.
• Conduct production readiness reviews before new service go-lives.

Observability & Monitoring

• Implement and manage full-stack observability: metrics (Prometheus + Grafana), logs (Loki), traces (OpenTelemetry / Jaeger).
• Build SLO-driven alerting and dashboards covering the four golden signals; route via PagerDuty / OpsGenie.

Linux, Networking & Security

• Administer production Linux systems (Ubuntu / RHEL / CentOS): performance tuning, hardening, troubleshooting.
• Manage VPCs, subnets, security groups, VPNs, load balancers, Nginx / HAProxy, CDNs, and SSL/TLS certificates.
• Manage secrets with Vault / AWS Secrets Manager; integrate security scanning into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).

Database & Application Operations

• Manage operational health, backups, replication, and failover for MySQL / PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached.
• Support deployments for both monolithic and microservices architectures; validate DR procedures regularly.

REQUIREMENTS

• 3-5 years of hands-on production DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering experience.
• Proven on-call experience: incident ownership, RCA, and postmortem authorship in a real production environment.
• Strong Terraform proficiency: writing and maintaining modules, managing state, and working in team IaC workflow.
• Solid Linux administration skills at the OS level (not just application-layer).
• Kubernetes production experience: cluster admin, workload management, debugging, RBAC, network policies.
• CI/CD pipeline ownership experience (built pipelines from scratch, not just run them).
• Hands-on Prometheus + Grafana: alert rule design and dashboard creation.
• Python and/or Bash scripting for production automation.
• Working knowledge of AWS (primary), GCP, or Azure - able to architect and troubleshoot independently.
• Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, VPCs, load balancers, firewalls.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• CKA / CKAD, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, or HashiCorp Terraform Associate certification.
• GitOps experience with ArgoCD or FluxCD in production.
• Service mesh experience: Istio or Linkerd.
• Message queue / streaming experience: Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SQS / SNS.
• Chaos engineering or DR game day experience.
• HashiCorp Vault or cloud-native secrets management experience.
• Exposure to FinOps, cost visibility tooling, and cloud cost optimisation.

PREFERRED TECHNICAL SKILL SET

• Cloud: AWS (primary) | GCP / Azure
• IaC & Config: Terraform, Ansible
• Containers: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD / FluxCD
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, PagerDuty / OpsGenie
• Scripting: Python, Bash, Go
• Databases: MySQL / PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached
• Messaging: Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS (preferred)
• Networking: Nginx, HAProxy, CloudFront, Cloudflare, Vault, WAF
• Workflow: Argo Workflows
