• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and application issues, driving root-cause analysis and developing long-term remediation solutions
• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure across major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), and develop/support deployments of applications, services, and monitoring with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and cost optimization.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using modern DevOps tooling (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform, etc.).
• Develop internal tooling and automation using Terraform, Python, Go, or similar languages to streamline operational tasks and improve developer productivity.
• Implement and manage security best practices across cloud environments, including identity management, secrets handling, audit logging, and network controls.
• Leverage AI/ML tools to automate repetitive DevOps tasks, operational workflows.

Required Skills and Experience

• 4-8+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Systems Administration, or similar infrastructure-focused roles.
• Familiar with GIT and comfortable with at least one systems programming language (Golang) and one scripting language (Python, Bash).
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation) and configuration management (Ansible, Chef, or SaltStack).
• Working knowledge of at least one of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Datadog, etc.) and operational troubleshooting.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes management in production environments
• Experience designing, developing, and/or troubleshooting distributed systems.
• Comfort with shells on *nix family systems.
• B.S. degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certifications from cloud service providers (e.g., AWS DevOps, GCP DevOps Engineer).
• Strong software development skills, with experience building production-grade services, automation, APIs, and infrastructure tooling.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or other modern programming languages.
• Strong cloud networking fundamentals, including VPC/VNet, subnets, NAT Gateways, Transit Gateways, routing, DNS, load balancing, and private connectivity.
• Hands-on experience with VPN and secure networking technologies such as Tailscale, Headscale, WireGuard, or similar solutions.
• Strong Kubernetes experience, including cluster architecture, networking, service discovery, ingress, observability, and troubleshooting.
• Understanding of distributed systems concepts and experience working with highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems.
• Natural curiosity and a strong drive to learn new and adjacent technologies.
• Experience applying AI/ML tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, cloud AI services, LLM-based automation, anomaly detection tools) to streamline DevOps and infrastructure workflows is a strong plus.
• Experience with LangChain, AI agents, and MCP (Model Context Protocol), including building and integrating agent-based solutions.
• Hands-on experience implementing AI-enhanced threat detection and security systems.
