• Software development experience building production grade tools, services, or automation using Python, Go, and/or JavaScript, with solid understanding of code quality, testing, and version control.
• Proficiency with automation and scripting to eliminate manual toil and improve system reliability.
• Experience applying SRE and reliability engineering practices, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-incident reviews.
• Strong background in observability using tools such as Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Opensearch, Splunk, New Relic, or Datadog.
• Working knowledge of cloud and DevOps security best practices, including IAM, secrets management, and secure CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrated experience leading and mentoring DevOps or SRE engineers and collaborating with cross functional engineering teams.
• 8–10+ years of overall experience in software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles supporting production systems.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience on AWS, designing, building, and operating cloud-based platforms and services in a production environment.
• 5+ years of experience working in a modern DevOps or SRE environment, with ownership of CI/CD pipelines, automation, and infrastructure reliability.
• 3–5+ years of people leadership experience, including managing and mentoring engineers, conducting performance management, and supporting career growth.
• 3+ years of experience operating containerized and distributed systems, including Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms.
• Demonstrated experience owning production reliability, including incident response, on call practices, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• AWS certifications strongly preferred, such as: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate.
• Additional cloud or DevOps certifications are a plus, including Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD), Terraform, or SRE-focused certifications.
• Equivalent combinations of education, certifications, and hands-on experience will be considered.

Nice To Haves

• Software development experience building production grade services, tools, or automation using Python, Go, and/or JavaScript.
• Background in application architecture and system design, with the ability to partner effectively with software engineering teams on reliability and scalability concerns.
• Experience developing internal platforms, tooling, or developer enablement solutions that improve developer productivity and reduce operational toil.
• Familiarity with service ownership models, production readiness reviews, and reliability-focused design practices.
• Exposure to FinOps practices, cloud cost optimization, or capacity planning.
• Prior experience in a platform engineering or SRE-focused organization.
• Experience enabling or operating AI/ML platforms and workloads in the cloud, including support for model training, inference, and experimentation at scale.

Responsibilities

• Lead and drive DevOps strategy and execution by establishing standards, tooling, and best practices for cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and automation across the engineering organization.
• Manage, mentor, and develop a high performing DevOps engineering team, including offshore resources, through technical guidance, career development, performance management, and hands-on coaching.
• Design, implement, and operate scalable, highly available, and secure cloud platforms using infrastructure as code, container orchestration, serverless technologies, and managed cloud services.
• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines and release automation, ensuring reliable, repeatable, and secure software delivery that improves deployment frequency, quality, and lead time.
• Act as a change agent for DevOps culture, collaborating closely with software engineering, QA, product, architecture, and security teams to improve developer experience, system reliability, and delivery velocity.
• Enable developer self-service and autonomy by building and maintaining automation frameworks, internal tools, and standardized workflows that reduce cognitive load and manual toil.
• Partner with security and architecture teams to embed security and compliance controls into infrastructure and pipelines, including secrets management, access control, system hardening, and auditability.
• Drive operational excellence and reliability by implementing monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response practices, and by leading root cause analysis and continuous improvement efforts.
• Evaluate and influence technology decisions, including tool selection, architecture standards, cloud services, and build vs. buy tradeoffs, balancing cost, scalability, reliability, and time to value.
• Plan and lead complex, cross-functional technical initiatives, managing scope, dependencies, risks, and timelines while communicating clearly with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
