• 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 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 (C/C++, 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:

• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines from a user perspective (GitHub Workflows, GitLab pipelines, etc)

• Certifications from cloud service providers (AWS DevOps, GCP Devops Eng, etc)

• Natural curiosity or drive to learn about new or adjacent technologies.

• Experience applying AI/ML tools (GitHub Copilot, cloud AI services, LLM-based automations, anomaly detection tooling, etc.) to streamline DevOps and infrastructure workflows is a strong plus.

• Hands-on experience implementing AI-enhanced threat detection systems.
