What you'll do:

• Architect, deploy, and maintain cloud infrastructure (IaaS / PaaS / serverless) ensuring high availability, scalability, security, disaster recovery, monitoring, and cost-optimization.

• Design, build, and manage CI/CD pipelines; automate build, test, release, rollback, and deployment workflows.

• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, etc.

• Containerization and orchestration: deploy, manage, and scale container‐based workloads (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).

• Monitoring, observability, logging, alerting: set up tools, dashboards, SLIs/SLOs, incident response, root cause analysis.

• Security & compliance: integrate security best practices into pipelines; manage IAM, secrets management, vulnerability scanning; ensure compliance with standards as relevant (e.g. ISO, SOC, GDPR, PCI, etc.).

• Performance tuning, capacity planning and resource provisioning.

• Automation of repetitive tasks, configuration management, and process improvements.

• Manage cloud costs: budgeting, tracking cost metrics, identifying waste, optimizing usage.

• Incident management and on-call support: respond to incidents, do post-mortems, propose improvements.

• Collaborate with multiple teams (development, QA, security, operations) to align on best practices, deployment processes, SLAs, etc.

• Mentor / guide junior/mid DevOps engineers or CloudOps engineers; help raise the maturity of DevOps practices in the organization.
