About The Position

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for building, securing, and operating the systems that power WiseLayer’s production environment. You will play a central role in executing our cloud migration roadmap, improving system reliability, and ensuring our platform meets enterprise-grade security and compliance expectations.

Requirements

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proven experience with at least 3+ years in IaC tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or AWS CloudFormation to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of infrastructure, ensuring consistency and reliability in our deployments.
• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Demonstrated ability with 3+ years of experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI. You will automate the build, test, and deployment processes to enable faster and more reliable software delivery.
• Cloud Computing Platforms: Strong knowledge, with a minimum of 3 years of experience, on at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You will be responsible for managing and optimizing these environments for high availability and scalability.
• Containerization and Orchestration: Over 3+ years of hands-on experience with containerization technologies like Docker and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. This is essential for packaging, deploying, and managing applications in a consistent and scalable manner.
• Monitoring and Logging: 3+ years of expertise in setting up and managing monitoring and logging solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK Stack. You will track system performance, availability, and security to proactively identify and resolve issues.
• Scripting and Automation: At least 3+ years of proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell to automate repetitive tasks and create custom tools. This skill is crucial for improving efficiency and reducing manual errors in our operations.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with DevSecOps Principles: Familiarity with integrating security practices within the CI/CD pipeline. Experience with security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, trivy, or similar) and a mindset of "shifting security left" to identify and address vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of Database Management: Understanding of database administration, performance tuning, and scaling for both SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB, Redis) databases. The ability to automate database provisioning and backups is a significant plus.
• Advanced Networking Concepts: A solid grasp of networking fundamentals, including VPCs, subnets, routing, and firewalls in a cloud environment. Experience with software-defined networking (SDN) and service mesh technologies like Istio or Linkerd would be a strong advantage.

Responsibilities

• Lead execution of GCP migration and modernization initiatives, including IAM, networking, and infrastructure-as-code
• Own CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and environment standardization
• Implement and maintain observability, logging, and alerting across all services
• Drive security hardening initiatives including key rotation, access controls, and vulnerability remediation
• Support data privacy and compliance requirements by improving data handling, retention, and access controls
• Partner with engineering teams to improve reliability, scalability, and release velocity
• Support migration and optimization of cloud services (compute, storage, messaging, databases)
• Design and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity processes
