Cloud Engineer - SRE

We are seeking a highly motivated and strategically minded Cloud Engineer to join our dynamic team. You will lead our reliability strategy, build self-healing architecture, eliminate operational toil through software engineering, and mentor a high-performing team of SRE and DevOps engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Architecture and Reliability Ownership: Design multi-AZ and multi-region AWS architectures for zero-downtime releases. Establish and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets alongside product managers.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Standardize scalable cloud infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CDK. Ensure state isolation, modularity, and automated deployment pipelines.
• Observability and Monitoring: Drive signal-to-noise alerting and build observability pipelines using Prometheus/Grafana, APM, AWS CloudWatch, or OpenTelemetry.
• Incident Leadership and Postmortems: Serve as Incident Commander for high-severity issues. Lead blameless post-mortems and convert system failures into concrete engineering work.
• Automation and Platform Tooling: Treat operations as a software problem by writing custom tooling in Bash or Python to eliminate manual operational toil.
• Developer Experience and CI/CD: Maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Tekton, ArgoCD) to empower product developers with safe self-service deployments.
• FinOps and Security: Partner with finance and security to optimize AWS spending (Savings Plans, right-sizing) while ensuring IAM policies, KMS encryption, and VPC configurations meet compliance standards.
• Mentorship and On-Call Management: Set sustainable on-call rotation policies to prevent burnout and mentor junior and mid-level SREs.

Requirements:

• Experience: 6+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure.
• AWS Mastery: Deep hands-on experience across core AWS services (EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3 Route 53 Transit Gateway).
• Kubernetes Expertise: Experience managing production EKS clusters, including workload scaling, ingress control, service meshes, and GitOps deployments (ArgoCD/Flux).
• Software Development: Strong coding skills in Bash or Python to build CLI tools, custom controllers, and API integrations.
• IaC Proficiency: Proven production usage of Terraform or AWS CDK.
• Observability: Track record of building metrics, logs, and trace pipelines from the ground up using modern observability stacks.
• Relevant certifications (e. g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator) are a plus.
