• Recommend cost-efficient infrastructure solutions as usage grows.

Requirements:
• 4–7 years of professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability, or Cloud Infrastructure roles.

• Solid understanding of monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to support observability and incident management.
• Exposure to vulnerability management, patching, and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills with a proactive mindset.

Nice to Have:
• Experience with cost optimization strategies for AWS services.
• Familiarity with CloudWatch, Prometheus, or similar monitoring tools.

• Prior experience in regulated or enterprise environments.

Benefits:
• Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter).
• No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words.
