About the Role
Senior DevOps Engineer with strong experience in storage to join our Platform Engineering team. You will actively contribute to the full platform ecosystem: infrastructure automation, continuous delivery pipelines, self‑service provisioning capabilities, production operations runbooks, and L2 support. You will bring a broader DevOps culture and mindset, with a solid command of AWS infrastructure, tooling, and modern platform practices including AIOps and advanced Kubernetes.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to infrastructure automation across the AWS platform using Terraform Enterprise, Ansible, Harness, Kubernetes (including operators, CRDs, and cluster lifecycle management), and GitOps practices.
- Support and evolve continuous delivery pipelines to ensure reliable and repeatable deployments across environments (PRE, SBX, PRD).
- Build and maintain self‑service capabilities so that developers can claim and consume infrastructure resources (storage, compute, databases, messaging) through Kubernetes‑native APIs and GitOps workflows.
- Leverage AIOps practices to improve platform reliability: intelligent alerting, anomaly detection, AI‑assisted incident triage, and automated remediation using tools like AWS DevOps Agent, Datadog, and GitHub Copilot.
- Write, maintain, and improve production runbooks to ensure operational procedures are automated, documented, and accessible.
- Provide L2 support on automation systems and pipelines, troubleshooting issues across the platform ecosystem.
- Participate in on‑call rotations and contribute to incident response and post‑mortem processes.
- Collaborate with Production Ops, DBA, and application engineering teams on platform improvements and migrations.
- Contribute to FinOps by identifying and implementing AWS cost‑optimization opportunities.
- Document architecture decisions, operational procedures, and contribute to team knowledge sharing.
Storage & Infra Specialization
- Own, automate, and improve Kyriba’s storage platform (NetApp, S3, EBS), ensuring reliability, performance, and DR readiness.
- Design and implement storage architectures on AWS with high availability and fault tolerance.
- Provide L2 support on storage incidents and lead investigations on performance degradation, availability issues, and data integrity events.
- Integrate storage with Kubernetes workloads (persistent volumes, storage classes, CSI drivers) and backup solutions (AWS Backup, NetApp B&R).
- Ensure compliance with RPO/RTO objectives and contribute to DR testing and validation.
- Administer and continuously improve the Active Directory and DNS environment, focusing on performance optimization and security compliance.
