Overview

We're hiring a hands‑on Platform / Dev Ops 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 (triaging tickets, resolving build issues, handling 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, Open Telemetry) 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 / Dev Ops / 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 for automation and tooling (mandatory).
  • 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 Open Telemetry 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.

What 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
