Role Description We are looking for an experienced DevOps and Infrastructure Lead with proven hands-on expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), CI/CD pipelines, big data environments, and system migrations. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical knowledge with strong communication and leadership skills — someone who can understand complex client requirements, design scalable solutions, lead internal DevOps initiatives, and maintain strong relationships with both internal teams and client technical stakeholders. Key Responsibilities - DevOps Strategy & Implementation - Design, build, and maintain robust cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS) ensuring high availability, security, and scalability. - Oversee containerized environments using Kubernetes and Docker. - Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for smooth, automated deployments. - Manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation. - Ensure infrastructure cost optimization and effective resource management. - Lead and execute migration of legacy environments to modern, containerized cloud setups. - Client Engagement & Technical Consultancy - Collaborate directly with clients to understand technical and business requirements. - Translate client needs into infrastructure and DevOps strategies that align with best practices. - Identify potential risks, performance bottlenecks, and scalability issues early on. - Propose tailored solutions and provide expert recommendations on cloud architecture, monitoring, and automation. - Maintain relationships with client technical leaders and participate in roadmap discussions for future scaling. - Team Leadership & Internal Improvements - Lead and mentor DevOps engineers, fostering a culture of automation, reliability, and collaboration. - Conduct interviews and help recruit top DevOps and infrastructure talent. - Define and implement internal DevOps standards, practices, and monitoring strategies. - Work closely with development, QA, and product teams to streamline release and deployment processes. - Continuously assess and improve internal systems and workflows to enhance efficiency and performance. - Monitoring, Security & Reliability - Establish observability, alerting, and incident response processes. - Ensure compliance with security policies and data protection regulations. - Oversee backups, disaster recovery, and high-availability configurations. - Review and optimize existing monitoring and logging systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.). Qualifications - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. - 6+ years of hands-on DevOps or Infrastructure experience. - Deep knowledge of AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, EKS, Lambda, CloudWatch, IAM, etc.). - Strong experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration. - Proficiency with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.). - Experience with IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible). - Familiarity with big data pipelines and data migration strategies. - Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, etc.) and version control (Git). - Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Preferred Skills - Experience with Redshift, EMR, or other big data infrastructure tools. - Familiarity with cost optimization, FinOps, and performance tuning. - Knowledge of security standards (ISO 27001, SOC2, GDPR compliance). - Background in cross-cloud or hybrid deployments (AWS, GCP, Azure). Benefits - Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses. - Opportunity to shape infrastructure strategy and lead a high-performing DevOps team. - Collaborative and innovative environment with strong cross-team communication. - Continuous learning and career development opportunities.
