Principal Devops Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure at Scale
  Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.

• Platform & Developer Experience
  Build internal tools and platforms that help engineers deploy, monitor, and scale their services independently — with minimal friction and maximum confidence.

• CI/CD & Release Automation
  Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.

• Reliability Engineering
  Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.

• Security & Governance
  Integrate DevSecOps practices — from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.

• Mentorship & Thought Leadership
  Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.

Must Haves:

• Experience:
   10+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infrastructure roles, ideally in SaaS, product-led or scale-up environments.

• Cloud & Infra Expertise:
  Deep knowledge of AWS services, Kubernetes (EKS), VPC networking, container orchestration, and autoscaling patterns.

• Automation & IaC:
  Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and scripting (Python/Go/Bash). You automate first, troubleshoot second.

• Delivery Mindset:
  Experience of running fast, secure, zero-downtime deployments at scale — and improving release velocity without trading off stability.

• Reliability Thinking:
  Understanding of SRE principles, SLOs, failure domains, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

• Collaboration:
  Strong cross-functional communication. You’re as comfortable in architecture reviews as in incident retrospectives.

• Bonus Points:
  Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), internal platform engineering, or multi-tenant architectures.
