Qualifications - Experience: 8+ years of total experience, with a strong focus specifically in DevOps and SRE. - EKS Mastery (Must Have): Proven hands-on experience in the creation and upgrading of Amazon EKS clusters. - CI/CD Expertise (Must Have): Deep understanding of continuous integration practices and CI/CD methodology for both containerized and non-containerized applications. - IaC (Must Have): Advanced proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (and AWS CloudFormation). - Configuration Management: Experience with configuration management tools; Ansible is highly preferred (experience with Chef or Salt is also valued). - Technical Breadth: Strong understanding of Linux systems administration, networking, and large cluster orchestration. - Cloud Services: Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services including IAM, VPC, EC2, S3, Lambda, ECS, and API Gateway. - Programming: Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python. - Soft Skills: Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a proven ability to coordinate effectively within a team and with customers. Benefits - Impact at scale from day one. - Your code processes billions of rows for companies like DoorDash and LinkedIn. - The AI wave is real for us. - Small team, big problems. - Recognized platform with startup energy. Location and Compensation - Pune (highly preferred) or Bengaluru. Why Build Your Future at Nexla? We are standing at the precipice of the GenAI revolution, but the biggest bottleneck isn't the models, it's the data. By joining Nexla, you aren’t just entering a company; you are stepping into the critical layer of the modern data stack that powers the AI economy. We are the Data Fabric that enables industry titans like LinkedIn, DoorDash, and J&J to turn messy, siloed data into ready-to-use products for RAG and predictive models. This is your opportunity to move beyond simple tooling and build the actual infrastructure that democratizes data access for the next decade of innovation. If you want to solve the hardest problems in data engineering and own a piece of a market projected to hit billions, your career belongs here.
