DevOps Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure Architecture: Design and build scalable, resilient AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• CI/CD Pipeline Development: Create and optimize automated deployment pipelines that enable fast, safe, and frequent releases
• Zero-Downtime Deployments: Implement blue-green deployments, canary releases, and rolling updates to ensure continuous availability
• Cloud Optimization: Manage and optimize AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, etc.) for performance and cost efficiency
• Security & Compliance: Implement security best practices, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, network security, and compliance requirements (SOC2, GDPR)
• Monitoring & Observability: Build comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems using tools like CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Datadog
• Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize resource utilization, and ensure system responsiveness under load
• Scaling Strategy: Design auto-scaling mechanisms and capacity planning strategies that handle traffic spikes and growth
• Disaster Recovery: Implement backup strategies, disaster recovery plans, and business continuity measures
• Developer Experience: Create tools and workflows that make deployment and debugging fast and easy for engineering teams
• Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotation, respond to incidents, conduct post-mortems, and implement preventive measures

Requirements

Essential Qualifications

• 4+ years of DevOps/Infrastructure engineering experience, preferably in SaaS or B2B environments
• Deep expertise with AWS services and cloud architecture best practices
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred, CloudFormation acceptable)
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI)
• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, or ECS)
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or Go)
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog, New Relic)
• Understanding of networking, security principles, and cloud security best practices
• Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis) in production environments

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, Security Specialty)
• Experience with microservices architecture and service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)
• Knowledge of GitOps practices and tools (ArgoCD, Flux)
• Familiarity with serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions)
• Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR)
• Background in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices
• Previous startup experience, especially in high-growth environments
• Experience with cost optimization and FinOps practices

What We're Looking For

• Reliability Obsessed: You think about failure modes, edge cases, and what could go wrong — then build systems to prevent it
• Security-First Mindset: You treat security as a foundational requirement, not an afterthought
• Automation Advocate: You automate repetitive tasks and believe manual processes are technical debt
• Performance-Driven: You continuously optimize for speed, efficiency, and resource utilization
• Proactive Problem Solver: You identify and fix issues before they become incidents
• Clear Communicator: You document decisions, explain tradeoffs, and collaborate effectively with engineers
• Pragmatic: You balance ideal solutions with practical shipping, knowing when "good enough" is the right choice
• Continuous Learner: You stay current with DevOps trends, tools, and best practices

Key Challenges You'll Solve

• How do we achieve true zero-downtime deployments while shipping multiple times per day?
• What's the right balance between managed services and self-hosted solutions for our scale and complexity?
• How do we build observability that gives us deep insights without overwhelming us with noise?
• How do we ensure our infrastructure can scale 10x without major re-architecture?
• What security measures are necessary to protect customer data while maintaining developer velocity?
• How do we optimize cloud costs as we grow without sacrificing reliability or performance?

Success Metrics

• System uptime: 99.9%+ availability
• Deployment frequency: Enable multiple daily deployments
• Mean time to recovery (MTTR): < 15 minutes for critical incidents
• Infrastructure cost efficiency: Optimize cost-per-user as scale increases
• Security posture: Zero critical vulnerabilities, pass security audits
• Developer satisfaction: Fast, reliable deployments with minimal friction

On-Call Expectations

• Participate in on-call rotation (typically 1 week per month)
• Respond to critical incidents with defined SLAs
• Conduct thorough post-mortems and implement preventive measures
• We invest heavily in automation and monitoring to minimize on-call burden
