We build highly scalable cloud-native products serving thousands of customers across North America.\nWe are looking for a DevOps/SRE Engineer who writes Terraform and CI/CD pipelines. This is a builder’s role, not a monitoring seat.\nRole Overview\nYou will own Terraform modules across our AWS infrastructure - compute, networking, databases, IAM, DNS - and build the GitHub Actions pipelines that ship our Django, Python, Node.js, and React services.\nThis role can be staffed on a normal shift or a night shift, depending on your preference and our coverage needs. On a night shift you get an uninterrupted window for the changes that are hardest to make in daylight - database migrations, pipeline rewrites, provider upgrades, and staged cutovers - and you will often be the only engineer on shift. That means real autonomy, real ownership, and the expectation that you can reason through an unfamiliar system on your own and write up clearly what you did.\nThis role suits someone who wants deep infrastructure work with production ownership and prefers building over ticket-shuffling.\nKey Responsibilities\nInfrastructure as Code\nOwn and extend Terraform modules across AWS - ECS/Fargate or EKS, RDS, VPC networking, IAM, ALB/NLB, S3, Route 53, CloudWatch. \nManage Terraform state safely; write and review plans that reviewers can trust. \nEliminate manually created resources by bringing them under code (via terraform import, refactors, and module extraction). \nKeep environments (dev, QA, production) consistent and reproducible.\nCI/CD Engineering\nBuild and maintain GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, containerization, and deployment. \nMigrate legacy pipelines (Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI) onto a single, maintainable platform. \nDesign safe deployment paths - staged rollouts, health-gated releases, fast and reliable rollback. Keep pipelines fast: caching, parallelism, test splitting, and honest gating. \nReliability & Operations\nOwn the production change window on your shift: deploys, migrations, cutovers, and maintenance. \nRun and improve observability - dashboards, SLOs, alerting that fires on real user impact rather than noise. \nDebug containerized applications in production: logs, metrics, traces, resource limits, networking. \nParticipate in on-call rotation and incident response; drive blameless post-incident reviews. Improve cost efficiency and resource utilization across the AWS footprint. \nDatabases & Data Services\nOperate PostgreSQL in production - read query plans, identify slow queries, understand connections, locks, and replication. \nPlan and execute schema migrations against live systems with minimal disruption. \nOperate supporting data services: Redis/ElastiCache, message brokers, object storage. \nAutomation & Tooling\nWrite Python and shell automation to remove repetitive operational work. \nBuild tooling that makes the wider team faster - self-service scripts, runbooks, guardrails. \nHarden secrets handling, access control, and infrastructure security posture. \nHandover & Communication\nWrite clear, complete handover notes at the end of every shift. Where shifts do not overlap, your writing is how the rest of the team learns what happened. \nMaintain runbooks and infrastructure documentation as systems change. \nCoordinate with the wider engineering team on planned work and follow-ups. \nAI-Enabled Engineering\nUse modern AI tools to accelerate infrastructure work, scripting, and troubleshooting. \nApply AI-assisted practices while maintaining strong engineering, security, and review standards. \nRequired Qualifications\n6+ years in DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Infrastructure engineering with genuine production ownership. \nStrong AWS experience - container orchestration (ECS/Fargate or EKS), RDS, VPC networking, IAM, load balancing, S3, CloudWatch. \nHands-on Terraform: writing modules, managing state, reviewing plans.\nPractical CI/CD experience, ideally GitHub Actions. GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Jenkins backgrounds are fine if you can migrate. \nDocker, and comfort debugging containerized applications in production. \nSolid Linux fundamentals and shell scripting; Python for automation. \nWorking PostgreSQL knowledge - query plans, slow queries, connections, locks, replication. Experience deploying and operating Django/Python and Node.js/React applications. Hands-on use of an observability platform in anger (New Relic, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar). \nClear written English. Your handover notes are how the rest of the team learns what happened. Openness to either a normal or a night shift, and willingness to participate in an on-call rotation. \nTechnical Expertise\nCloud & Infrastructure\nAWS (ECS / Fargate / EKS, EC2, Lambda) \nVPC, Subnets, Security Groups, NAT, Peering \nALB / NLB, Route 53, CloudFront \nIAM, Roles, Policies, Least-Privilege Design \nRDS, ElastiCache, S3 \nTerraform / Infrastructure as Code \nCI/CD & Automation\nGitHub Actions \nJenkins / CircleCI / GitLab CI \nDocker, Container Registries \nBlue-Green & Staged Deployments, Rollback Strategies \nPython, Bash / Shell Scripting \nGit and Trunk-Based Workflows \nObservability & Reliability\nNew Relic / Datadog / Grafana / Prometheus \nCloudWatch Metrics, Logs, Alarms \nOpenTelemetry \nSLOs, Error Budgets, Alert Design \nIncident Management & Post-Incident Review \nData & Messaging\nPostgreSQL Administration & Tuning \nSchema Migrations on Live Systems \nRedis / ElastiCache\nKafka / Redpanda / Amazon MSK, RabbitMQ, NATS \nSecurity & Compliance\nSecrets Management (AWS Secrets Manager, SOPS, Vault) \nNetwork and Access Hardening \nVulnerability and Patch Management \nAudit Logging \nPreferred Qualifications\nCelery, RabbitMQ, NATS, or Kafka in production. \nRedis / ElastiCache operations. \nSecrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, SOPS, Vault). \nExperience with sharded or multi-tenant database architectures. \nHealthcare or other compliance-sensitive environments (HIPAA, SOC 2). \nTelephony / VoIP infrastructure exposure. \nKubernetes. \nPrior experience as the sole engineer on shift, or on a night/off-hours rotation. \nWhat We Look For\nA builder’s instinct - you would rather codify a fix than repeat it. \nComfort with autonomy and sound judgment on when to escalate. \nCareful, methodical change management on production systems. \nStrong written communication; your handover notes are a first-class deliverable. \nCuriosity about how systems actually behave, not just how they are supposed to. Ownership, follow-through, and continuous learning. \nWhy This Role\nReal ownership of infrastructure, not a ticket queue. \nFlexibility on shift, and a protected change window for high-impact work. \nModern stack: AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Docker, PostgreSQL, Kafka-compatible messaging. \nDirect impact on the reliability of a platform used by thousands of healthcare practices.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7305,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T12:25:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":71,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.793,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":104,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/practice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/practice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T00:09:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":252,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2763798},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2763798"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpractice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpractice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpractice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/practice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpractice-numbers-devops-site-reliability-engineer-engineering"}]}
