Demonstrated experience designing, deploying, and supporting large cloud-based systems.
Proven experience leading or coordinating DevOps initiatives or infrastructure projects.
Strong proficiency with: Terraform, CDKTF, or other IaC tools
Docker, container orchestration
CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions)
Cloud platforms (GCP and/or Azure)
Strong understanding of: Networking, DNS, load balancing, VPC design
Linux systems administration
Observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki)
Security best practices and automated compliance frameworks
Experience with Node.js and Vue applications
Experience optimizing distributed systems for scale and performance
Familiarity with scripting and automation using Python and Bash
Experience supporting complex enterprise environments with high availability and large user bases
Proficiency in English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with English-speaking stakeholders, co-workers, managers and/or clients across the world.

Responsibilities

Implement scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure on Azure.
Analyze business and technical requirements to develop infrastructure specifications.
Design IaC-based environments (Terraform, CDKTF) to ensure consistency and repeatability.
Optimize system architectures for cost efficiency, performance, and resilience.
Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated build, testing, and deployment workflows.
Automate provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and scaling using modern DevOps tooling.
Integrate distributed systems, data pipelines, and microservices into unified automated delivery processes.
Implement blue/green, canary, and zero-downtime deployment strategies for enterprise-scale environments.
Design and maintain observability frameworks (logging, metrics, tracing) using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent.
Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for infrastructure or deployment issues.
Implement resilience strategies, including auto-recovery, load balancing, redundancy, and failover.
Establish operating procedures for monitoring, on-call rotations, incident response, and continuous system maintenance.
Support large enterprises with distributed workforces of hundreds of thousands of users.
Implement DevSecOps best practices to secure cloud environments and CI/CD workflows.
Integrate security scanning, vulnerability assessment, and automated compliance checks.
Ensure infrastructure and deployment processes align with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and other regulatory standards.
Collaborate with security teams to enforce least-privilege access, encryption standards, and secure data flow.
Lead DevOps initiatives across cross-functional engineering, product, and data teams.
Partner with software engineers to ensure infrastructure aligns with application architecture and performance needs.
Drive operational improvements, tooling modernization, and automation-first culture across the organization.
