Requisitos

  • Job Title: Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer
  • Position Type: Full-Time Contract (40hrs/week)

Overview

We’re hiring a hands‑on Platform/DevOps Engineer to join a small, high‑impact platform team. This is a “boots‑on‑the‑ground” execution role — not advisory — focused on building, operating, and improving the infrastructure and tooling that enables 100–150 engineers to ship code efficiently and reliably. You’ll work closely with a lean team (Principal + Senior Engineers) and play a critical role in day‑to‑day platform operations, automation, and developer enablement.

What You’ll Do

  • Operate and improve platform tools to support engineering teams (triage tickets, resolve build issues, handle access/secrets/env setup)
  • Manage Kubernetes environments: deployments, Helm charts, namespaces, rollout troubleshooting
  • Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred; Jenkins/GitHub Actions acceptable)
  • Maintain and improve self‑service workflows, templates, and developer "golden paths"
  • Work with observability tools (Prometheus, Alertmanager, Thanos, OpenTelemetry) to monitor systems and improve signal quality
  • Assist with service instrumentation across logging, metrics, and tracing
  • Contribute to documentation: runbooks, onboarding guides, SOPs
  • Participate in on‑call rotation and support incident response
  • Optimize infrastructure for cost, performance, and reliability
  • Automate repetitive tasks using scripting (Python/Bash)

Must‑Have Requirements

  • 6+ years in Platform Engineering / DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure roles
  • Strong AWS experience (IAM, EC2/EKS, S3, CloudWatch, etc.)
  • Deep Kubernetes expertise: operating and maintaining clusters, building Kubernetes environments
  • Hands‑on Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
  • Python scripting (mandatory) for automation and tooling
  • Experience owning and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong Linux fundamentals
  • Solid understanding of observability concepts (metrics, logs, tracing)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with GitLab CI
  • Exposure to OpenTelemetry API integration or tooling development (Python/Go/Java)
  • Experience supporting large engineering teams (100+ developers)
  • Familiarity with security in CI/CD or infrastructure workflows
  • Multi‑cloud exposure (Azure/GCP alongside AWS)
  • Background in mid‑size, modern engineering organizations

We’re NOT Looking For

  • No Kubernetes experience
  • Bash‑only engineers (no Python)
  • Pure consulting/advisory profiles
  • Pure security‑focused candidates
  • Heavy enterprise/banking‑only backgrounds
  • ML/Data Science profiles

Team Structure

1 Principal Engineer, 1 Senior Engineer, 1 Engineer (India); you = 4th key team member.
